  Giants | Devontae Booker worked out    Fri Jul 29, 05:07 PM

Free-agent RB Devontae Booker (Giants) recently worked out for the New York Giants.

Footballguys view: The team knows Booker, and they're just updating their emergency list. If they need him for depth, Booker should be available. He's a strong runner and a better receiver out of the backfield than some think.

  Giants | Devontae Booker cut    Wed Mar 2, 01:11 PM

New York Giants RB Devontae Booker was released Wednesday, March 2, which creates $2.1 million in salary cap savings but leaves $1 million in dead cap money.

Footballguys view: Booker is gone and Saquon Barkley may be traded. The Giants are revamping their team and specifically their backfield could look much different in 2022. Booker is a great receiver out of the backfield and a better-than-advertised runner. He should have some interest out there as a reserve back for a team in need of veteran depth.

  Giants | Devontae Booker productive in Week 9    Sun Nov 7, 05:11 PM

New York Giants RB Devontae Booker rushed for 99 yards on 21 carries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9. He also caught three passes for 23 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Booker left with a hip injury and will probably resume being the backup to Saquon Barkley after the bye, assuming he is healthy enough to handle the duties. He has run tough while Barkley has been out and proved to have more value than expected.

New York Giants RB Devontae Booker rushed 12 times for 41 yards in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams, and he added four receptions for 28 yards on four targets.

Footballguys view: Booker was acceptable in PPR leagues, but the Giants offense isn't going to give him much upside if he starts against the Panthers next week. We'll be watching Saquon Barkley's practice status to see if he has a chance to go in Week 7.

  Giants | GM praises Devontae Booker    Tue Apr 20, 01:10 PM

New York Giants RB Devontae Booker was 'worth the price' the team paid in free agency because he is 'a three-down back' that 'only makes the Giants stronger,' according to general manager Dave Gettleman.

Footballguys view: We agree with Gettleman. Booker has always been a great receiving option out of the backfield, but his ability as a runner has been overlooked. He's a power-gap runner who has a hard-charging style and is swift through the hole. Booker will serve as the primary backup to Saquon Barkley in 2021. New York inked Booker to a two-year contract worth $5.5 million earlier this spring.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Devontae Booker rushed for 50 yards on 16 carries against the New York Jets in Week 13.

Footballguys view: Booker was held in check by the Jets most of the time stout run defense and also gave way to Jalen Richard at times. Even if Josh Jacobs can't go vs. the Colts next week, Booker will only be a low end RB2/Flex at best after this disappointment.

  Raiders | Devontae Booker terms    Tue May 12, 03:36 PM

Updating a previous story, Las Vegas Raiders RB Devontae Booker signed a one-year contract including a $50,000 signing bonus. Booker qualifies for the veteran salary benefit, which will carry a cap hit of $887,500.

Footballguys view: Booker is no lock for the 53-man roster but that veteran salary benefit could help keep him around. He's disappointed in the pros as a runner but Booker does flash good skill as a receiver out of the backfield. He'll compete with Jalen Richard to be a backup to Josh Jacobs in 2020.

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Devontae Booker (Broncos) officially signed with the Las Vegas Raiders Monday, May 11. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Booker disappointed during his time with the Broncos and needed a fresh start. He may not live up to his potential as a runner but he can be a good receiver out of the backfield. Booker will compete with Jalen Richard to establish a pecking order behind starter Josh Jacobs. He's no lock for the 53-man roster.

  Raiders | Devontae Booker heading to Las Vegas    Wed May 6, 10:19 PM

Free-agent RB Devontae Booker (Broncos) reportedly agreed to terms with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, May 6.

Footballguys view: Booker was a fourth-round pick of the Broncos in the 2016 NFL draft. He was supposed to take over in that backfield but never did. Booker is a hard-charging runner but he lacks field vision. However, he has natural receiving ability and could be used as a pass-catching option behind Josh Jacobs.

  Broncos | Devontae Booker expected to receive interest    Sat Mar 7, 06:32 PM

Denver Broncos impending free-agent RB Devontae Booker is expected to receive interest from multiple teams this offseason.

Footballguys view: We can't see that. Booker is 'meh' as a runner and a better-than-expected receiver out of the backfield. Perhaps it's that receiving ability that a team might covet on the open market. Booker isn't going to get a big contract, so the price tag is low and the risk is low....but production has been low. We'll see where Booker lands in free agency, but he's not staying with Denver.

  Broncos | Devontae Booker to hit open market    Fri Mar 6, 12:29 PM

Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker, a pending free agent, isn't expected to be re-signed in Denver, per source. He is expected to draw second-wave interest in free agency.

Footballguys view: Zero surprise here. Booker is a better-than-you-think receiver but he's not good as a runner. Some team will add him for veteran depth but we've gotten rid of all our Booker stock in deep dynasty formats.

  Broncos | Devontae Booker leaned on in passing game    Mon Sep 24, 09:42 AM

Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker had seven of his 10 touches after the team fell behind by 13 points in the third quarter as the team trusts him in the passing game as a blocker and receiver. He had 26 snaps on offense overall for 38 percent of the offense.

Footballguys view: The only reason we saw more from Booker is because Phillip Lindsay was ejected from the game for throwing a punch. Booker is likely to be used as the third back behind Lindsay and Royce Freeman. Even though Booker is second on the depth chart (behind Freeman), the team doesn't seem to want to use him much in the gameplan.
