Burkhead caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 37-21 win over Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

Burkhead played 10 of 78 offensive snaps (13 percent), ranking fourth among Houston's running backs. After Houston signed three veteran backs during the offseason to join David Johnson, it was unclear how the snaps and opportunities would shake out. The first week provided a glimpse into the pecking order and roles, as Mark Ingram emerged as the clear leader, followed by Phillip Lindsay. Johnson (four targets, three catches, one TD) provided value as the top receiving back while Burkhead appears to be second as a receiver.
