Rex Burkhead had 14 carries for 40 yards and caught five of his eight targets for 30 yards in the Texans’ tie against the Colts in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact: Burkhead was expected to play second fiddle to Dameon Pierce, but he instead played 72% of the snaps and dominated the work in overtime. We’ve seen Burkhead be successful as a lead back, but we’ve also seen him randomly dominate touches only to take a back seat in the following weeks. For now, given his enormous usage, Burkhead should be considered a flex option for the time being, including next week when the Texans take on the Broncos.
