Rex Burkhead listed as Patriots' unofficial starter
New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead is the starter on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
James White is listed as the other starter ahead of first-round pick Sony Michel (knee), while free-agent pickup Jeremy Hill and Mike Gillislee round out the rest of the depth chart. Michel's role could expand as the season progresses but Burkhead seems assured of a feature role out of New England's backfield.
numberFire's models currently project Burkhead to rush 98.9 times for 531.4 yards and 5.75 touchdowns, as well as 43.9 catches for 367.1 yards and 2.97 touchdowns. He's the RB28 in our preseason fantasy rankings.
