New England Patriots RBs Mike Gillislee, Rex Burkhead, James White and Dion Lewis form a ‘deep, talented group’ and any one of the four could be featured at any given time, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Footballguys View: Oh that tricky Bill Belichick. It’s true, any of these Patriots RBs could be the featured back given the one-off gameplans the team uses on a weekly basis. That makes things problematic for fantasy owners trying to navigate this situation. Gillislee is banged up with a hamstring problem and Burkhead has been looking fantastic in the preseason. White is also there to make plays as a runner/receiver. You can get White and Burkhead in the 10th and 12th rounds respectively right now in 12-team PPR leagues.
