Devontae Booker
RB -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
The New York Giants worked out RB Devontae Booker, but no signing is immediate.
Fantasy Impact
Booker is no stranger to New York as the former fourth-rounder played there last season. He was called up to action when RB Saquon Barkley went down with an injury and he delivered with 440 scrimmage yards and three total touchdowns in his five games of serious action. He was cut by the Giants but may get another look with RB Matt Breida currently slated as the team's primary backup.
Dan Duggan of the Athletic has announced that the Giants have cut RB Devonta Booker. The move will save $2.1M in cap space, as the Giants look to create as much cap room as possible before free agency.
Fantasy Impact
Booker was more than serviceable in the absence of Saquon Barkley, totaling over 800 yards. He should be able to find a home on a new team where he can fill the same role he had in Las Vegas and New York. Booker is a fine backup with pass catching chops who can be a good fantasy handcuff in the right spot.
Giants running back Devontae Booker rushed eight times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to Washington.
Fantasy Impact
Booker filled a change-of-pace role with the Giants this season, rushing 145 times for 593 yards and two touchdowns while catching 40 of his 45 targets for 268 yards and another touchdown.
Giants running back Devontae Booker rushed 18 times for 46 yards and caught two of his three targets for no yardage in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Fantasy Impact
The Giants ran the ball 40 times against 11 passes in a game they lost 29-3 on Sunday, and Booker was the recipient of 18 carries despite averaging just 2.6 yards per carry. Through 15 games, the veteran running back has rushed 137 times for 579 yards and two touchdowns and caught 38 of his 43 targets for 256 yards and a touchdown.
Giants running back Devontae Booker rushed six times for 27 yards and caught all four of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Booker has carved out a steady role for the Giants. Unfortunately, that role is the backup to Saquon Barkley in an offense that routinely struggles to move the ball.
