Fantasy Upside
In what could turn out to be a great fourth-round selection by the Broncos, Devontae Booker is a stout RB who might very well find himself getting a lot of playing time during his rookie season. Even with Ronnie Hillman in the mix, at least during the preseason, Booker should wind up as the leading pass-catching back on the team, but will also be used to give starter C.J. Anderson a breather in a run-heavy offense.
Fantasy Downside
The only thing that slowed him down at Utah and running rampant on Pac-12 defenses was a torn ACL. Concern over his recovery was the reason Booker slipped to the fourth round in the draft.
Bottom Line
After a strong camp and preseason, Devontae should open the season as the No. 2 RB on Denver, backing up Anderson. Even with C.J. expected to receive the bulk of the action, Booker could be in line for a solid rookie campaign and is just an injury away from being the starter on a quality team.
