Is Burkhead a better RB than Hill

What makes you so sure about that? Keep in mind that Hill has 11 catches for 104 yards in the 3 games since Gio went down. He's a very capable pass catcher and better than Rex IMO. Rex has 9 catches for 77 yards on the whole season. If Rex were so versatile, he should've slotted right into the Gio role. Instead, they've started throwing passes to Hill and increased his overall role.

Fwiw, I also think people are way too hard on Jeremy for his pass blocking/blitz pickup. Marv is notoriously demanding of his RBs in that department. Hill wouldn't be playing so much if he were incapable of blocking.
