DEN RB Devontae Booker - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Philadelphia Eagles

In the loss to the Chiefs on Monday, Devontae Booker scored his first touchdown of the season, finishing with 54 total yards on 8 touches. Booker remains the No. 3 RB on the depth chart, but with the Broncos falling behind early the past few contests, he’s received some decent playing time due to his pass-catching abilities. However, there’s no reason for him to be inserted into your starting lineup.

DEN RB Devontae Booker - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Kansas City Chiefs

While C.J. Anderson and Jamaal Charles combined to receive 14 carries last week at the Chargers, Devontae Booker finished with just 2 rushes for 6 yards. With the Broncos behind the entire game, Booker again posted better numbers as a receiver, grabbing 3 balls for 22 yards. Booker is still the No. 3 back for Denver, and with the team’s struggles on offense the past month, there is no reason for Booker to be taking up a roster slot.

DEN RB Devontae Booker - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Los Angeles Chargers

Playing in his second game of 2017 last Sunday night, Devontae Booker posted a good game as a pass-catcher. He only ran the ball once, for 2 yards, but finished with 4 grabs for 78 yards, as the Broncos tried to play catch-up against the Giants. C.J. Anderson will continue to be the workhorse, but Booker is eating into Jamaal Charles’ snaps. However, he makes for a flex play, at best, on the road against the Chargers.

DEN RB Devontae Booker - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

After C.J. Anderson went down with a knee injury last year, Devontae Booker had a chance to take over as the Broncos' No. 1 running back, but averaged only 3.5 yards per carry with five total TDs. He had surgery to repair a hairline fracture in his wrist in late July and will likely miss the first couple of regular season affairs.

Fantasy Upside

Filling in for the injured C.J. Anderson for parts of the second half of last season, Devontae Booker ran for 612 yards and totaled five touchdowns. The second-year pro out of Utah showed his durability by receiving 24 carries in back-to-back games in November against the Saints and Chiefs.

Fantasy Downside

With the signing of Jamaal Charles, any fantasy value Booker had took a big hit. As long as Charles and Anderson hold up, Booker will be used sparingly, once he returns from his wrist injury sustained at the end of July. He averaged 3.5 yards per carry during his rookie season and was given the rock a combined 14 times from Week 14 to Week 16. He managed a measly 45 yards during that span.

2017 Bottom Line

After a promising start to his NFL career, Booker’s stock dropped and he's now No. 3 on the RB depth chart in Denver. Even though Anderson and Charles have been hampered by injuries during the season lately, once he returns to the field, Booker will likely hold little value outside of extended keeper leagues. While he should receive some short-yardage touches, there won’t be enough to warrant having him on your roster.

DEN RB Devontae Booker - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Oakland
In the loss to the Chiefs on Christmas night, Devontae Booker led the Denver ground game with five carries for 27 yards and also led the team with six receptions for 44 yards. The Broncos continue to have trouble running the ball, as they totaled just 63 yards at Kansas City. In early November at Oakland, Devontae had a team-high 22 yards on 10 carries. There is no reason for him to be started based on how poor the offense has been over the past month.

DEN RB Devontae Booker - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Kansas City
As Justin Forsett led the Broncos with just 37 yards on 10 carries last Sunday versus the Pats, Devontae Booker only had six rushes for 17 yards. He did catch two passes, but it appears Forsett will continue to see more action. Booker ran for 79 yards in the home meeting versus Kansas City in November, but there’s no reason he should be started in the rematch.
