ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting New England Patriots RB Rex Burkhead (knee) will play in the AFC CHampionship (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Although he's missed the past three games with a knee injury, Burkhead will return and play in the AFC Championship Sunday against the Jaguars. And while the Patriots backfield has been effective in his absence, primarily led by Dion Lewis -- James White returned to a two-touchdown performance in the Divisional Round -- Burkhead, a versatile scoring threat in the red zone, should have a handful of plays in the gameplan. Therefore making him an upside DFS option for Championship Weeknd.
