Devontae Booker Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Sterling Shepard has been ruled out while Saquon Barkley, Devontae Booker,Cullen Gillaspia, and Kaden Smith have all been listed questionable for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sterling Shepard is still working his way back from injury and will be unable to suit up Monday. Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, and Darius Slayton should all play bigger roles in the New York passing game with Shepard still sidelined. Kaden Smith is expected to serve as tight end depth behind Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph so his status is not DFS relevant. Both Barkley and Booker look to be trending in the right direction to play Monday when Barkley would be expected to be the lead backfield with Booker serving as his back up. It will be important to check all players' statuses when inactives are released 90 mins prior to kickoff.

Sterling Shepard and Kaden Smith logged DNPs Thursday while both Saquon Barkley and Devontae Booker logged limited practices ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sterling Shepard is still working his way back from injury and has a chance to play Monday but if he were to be unable to Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, and Darius Slayton could all play bigger roles in the New York passing game. Kaden Smith is expected to serve as tight end depth behind Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph so his status is not DFS relevant. Both Barkley and Booker look to be trending in the right direction to play Monday when Barkley would be expected to be the lead back with Booker backing him up.

Booker was a healthy scratch last week, but is active this week as the Giants play the Saints. Booker will back up Saquon Barkley but is simply insurance, and will play 10-20% of snaps most likely.

The Raiders are expected to have Josh Jacobs active after the second-year back missed last week's meeting with the Jets. Jacobs was able to get some practice in on Thursday and Friday which had him trending in the right direction, and it does appear he'll end up active. We'll update again once things are official.

The Broncos backfield will be a 3-headed committee again on Sunday and gamescript is unlikely to be favorable with the team installed as 7-point road underdogs in a divisional matchup. All three of Freeman, Phillip Lindsay, and Devontae Booker appear safe to eliminate from your player pool in Week 11.

Freeman practiced today and is now questionable for Week 9. If he suits up on Sunday, it would turn the Broncos 2-man committee into a 3-man committee again. While Phillip Lindsay should remain the 1a back after turning 21 touches into 112 yards last week, he would probably be avoidable in the 3-man committee scenario at a price of $5,500 on DraftKings and given the tougher matchup at hand against a Texans defense ranked first in run DVOA.

Freeman is now on track to play in Week 9, turning the Broncos 2-man committee into a 3-man committee again. While Phillip Lindsay should remain the 1a back after turning 21 touches into 112 yards last week, he may be avoidable at a price of $5,500 on DraftKings, with a tougher matchup at hand against a Texans defense ranked first in run DVOA.

The rookie back has a high ankle sprain and may miss time beyond Week 8. Phillip Lindsay will handle lead duties against a generous Chiefs rush defense while Devontae Booker is expected to mix in as well. Both should be considered at reasonable prices for their expected roles on Sunday, with Lindsay having RB1 upside.
