The return of Rex Burkhead in Week 13 looked like it might make the New England Patriots' backfield situation a messy one, and he does have 11 carries and 4 targets, while playing over 20% of the team's snaps in each of those two games.
It looks like Sony Michel is going to remain the top dog in scoring range though.
His 6 red zone opportunities in Week 14 were tied for the third-most in the NFL, and he accounted for a 66.7% red zone rushing market share. This comes after a Week 13 game in which he saw 4 of the team's 13 opportunities.
Other than Week 7, when Michel made an early exit due to injury, he has handled at least 30% of the team's red zone opportunities in every game he has played in. His opportunity market share in those contests sits at 36.3%, which would be the seventh-highest in the NFL over the entire season.
With a 33.3% share since Burkhead's return, it doesn't look like Michel's touchdown potential is going anywhere.
