Rex Burkhead

Week 9 featured a mostly awful week for running backs in the red zone. Outside of Christian McCaffrey’s 14.8 PPR in the red zone, no other running back managed double-digit PPR inside the 20-yard line.

Despite the low fantasy scores, plenty of running backs saw their fair share of opportunity in the red zone. Among those backs is Patriots RB Rex Burkhead.

Fantasy managers have a long-standing love/hate relationship Patriots RBs, thanks in large to their unpredictable work loads. We enjoyed a few seasons of reliable production from James White, only to watch him become another uncertain start on a week-to-week basis.
