Scouting report

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Devontae Booker took over for the injured Saquon Barkley last week and had 16 carries and three receptions for 58 total yards and a pair of touchdowns. You’d like to see a little more yardage out of 19 touches, but it was good to see him as the clear backup running back, rather than part of a committee approach to replacing Barkley. If that continues, he’ll have RB2 upside for as long as Barkley is out.

This week, Booker faces a Rams defense that ranks 16th in aFPA to opposing running backs. While it’s hard to bank on multiple touchdowns again, another 19 touches aren’t out of the question. We have him ranked as a low-end RB2 with his workload and fantasy managers should add him and feel comfortable starting him in all formats.

NYG RB Devontae Booker - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Washington Football Team

Devontae Booker would serve as an interesting option for fantasy managers should Saquon Barkley – listed as questionable – miss the outing. However, don’t get too excited with Booker facing a really tough Washington defense and probably splitting carries with rookie Gary Brightwell. Even if Barkley is out, look elsewhere if possible.

LV RB Devontae Booker - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Denver Broncos

Devontae Booker gets some change-of-pace work behind Josh Jacobs, including catching passes and occasionally vulturing a touchdown. His workload is very inconsistent, however, with Jacobs being the clear-cut bellcow in Las Vegas. As such, Booker is nothing more than a handcuff and should be treated that way to end the season.

LV RB Devontae Booker - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Devontae Booker has gotten some change-of-pace work, and has been productive in limited spurts, but is firmly behind Josh Jacobs on the depth chart. With Jacobs back and seemingly healthy, Booker should go back to the fantasy benches as a strict handcuff-only player.

LV RB Devontae Booker - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Devontae Booker was very disappointing in what should’ve been an easy matchup against the Jets last week. Filling in for Josh Jacobs, he averaged just 3.1 yards on 16 carries. Booker was expected to produce closer to his season-average of 5.0 yards per carry, but the Raiders’ running game stalled and they had to rely on a last-second touchdown bomb to Henry Ruggs in order to come away with the victory.

This week, Booker faces a Colts defense that ranks 20th in aFPA to opposing running backs. It should be a reasonably good matchup for him, but after last week, it’s hard to trust him as anything more than an RB3 in most leagues. Fantasy owners should be cautious with him.

LV RB Devontae Booker - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New York Jets

Devontae Booker had just five carries for six yards last week in a blowout loss to the Falcons. Assuming the Raiders return to competitive football this week against the Jets, instead of forgetting to show up to the game as they did last week, Booker should be in for a full workload in a nice matchup. The Jets rank 24th in aFPA to opposing running backs and Josh Jacobs is likely to miss the game with an injury suffered against the Falcons. Assuming Jacobs is out, Booker has RB2 upside. He averaged 5.1 yards on 16 carries a few weeks ago in garbage time against the Broncos, showing the type of upside he has against the Jets this week. Start him, but watch Jacobs’ status.

LV RB Devontae Booker - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Atlanta Falcons

Devontae Booker only had six touches, including one reception, for 19 yards last week against the Chiefs. Booker is averaging 6.4 touches per game, and has had a few outbursts of production, including scoring three touchdowns over the two weeks prior to last. Still, he should be considered a handcuff in most leagues, with the potential to go off in lopsided Raiders victories, which is hard to predict. Sit him.
