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.
