NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Chicago Bears

Devontae Booker has been surprisingly useful in recent weeks, despite being the clear backup running back to Saquon Barkley. Booker had four receptions and six carries for 46 yards against the Eagles last week. While those aren’t great numbers, fantasy managers in PPR formats can be encouraged by his double-digit touches and his 14 receptions over his past four games. Against the Bears this week, he shouldn’t be considered a high-end option by any means. However, if you’re struggling to find someone who won’t net you a big goose egg, you could do worse than putting Booker in as a low-end flex play in deep, PPR leagues.

If Saquon Barkley – who was seen limping a little on the sidelines according to our own Adam Hutchison – is shut down, then Booker immediately becomes a viable RB2 option. Watch Barkley’s status carefully heading into the weekend.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Philadelphia Eagles

Devontae Booker has quietly been viable in fantasy the past few weeks. He’s not putting up big numbers, but he has double-digit touches in three straight games and had 82 yards against the Cowboys last Sunday. It’s a tough matchup for Booker this week against the Eagles, who rank eighth in aFPA to opposing running backs, but fantasy managers desperate at the position can plug in Booker for at least a few sure points. He has limited upside, but looks to have a nice floor with a role in the offense. His 10 catches over the past three games should continue with most of the Giants’ pass-catchers shelved.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Devontae Booker has gotten some decent complementary touches the past couple of weeks behind Saquon Barkley. He had 84 yards on eight carries and four receptions last week after getting 10 touches in Week 13 against the Dolphins. Those aren’t big numbers, but they’re very functional for fantasy managers needing help at running back in deep leagues, particularly in PPR formats. He has eight catches over the last two games. Against the Cowboys this week, expect a similar game plan, making Booker a viable desperation RB3 or flex option.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers

Devontae Booker had six carries and four receptions last week against the Dolphins, ending up with 54 yards from scrimmage. While I wouldn’t expect a large role for him with a healthy Saquon Barkley in the lineup, double-digit touches are nothing to sneeze at, so fantasy managers could consider him as a desperation option in a nice matchup as an RB3. Mostly, his value remains as a valuable handcuff just in case Barkley goes down.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Devontae Booker had 15 carries and five receptions for a total of 125 yards last week against the Chiefs. Booker hasn’t put up huge numbers in relief of Saquon Barkley, but he does quietly have double-digit half-PPR points in three of the four games he’s started, including scoring three touchdowns over that span.

This week, Booker faces a Raiders defense that ranks 28th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Expect a heavy dose of the run game, and with Barkley looking unlikely to return this week, Booker should be worth starting as a solid RB2 in all league formats.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Kansas City Chiefs

Devontae Booker had 51 yards and a touchdown on the ground last week against the Panthers, and added another 15 yards on a pair of receptions. Booker hasn’t been great filling in for the injured Saquon Barkley, but he’s getting touches and appears to be the clear handcuff in New York. That makes him at least a viable RB2 option in most leagues, based on workload alone.

This week, Booker faces a Chiefs defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing running backs. Booker is worth considering as a low-end RB2 option, especially with how much the Chiefs are struggling to score. If the Giants can keep this game relatively close, Booker’s workload alone should make him worth starting in most leagues.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Carolina Panthers

Devontae Booker had 12 carries and four receptions for a modest 69 yards from scrimmage last week in a lopsided loss to the Rams. In a closer game, I would expect Booker to get more touches, but the Rams had control of this one by the half with an explosive 28-point second quarter.

This week, hope for a more neutral game script against a struggling Panthers team. Carolina ranks second in aFPA to opposing running backs, but a full workload for Booker gives him a high floor. We have him ranked as a solid RB2 option this week.
