  • Continues slide in 2019

    Booker caught six of nine targets for 57 yards and added nine yards on two carries in 2019.

    Analysis: Booker has seen his yardage and touch numbers decline each year since his 877-yard rookie campaign in 2016. Booker recorded a touch in just six of 16 games in 2019 and didn't get on the stat sheet until Week 9. His role in the return game was also reduced with the emergence of former CFL star Diontae Spencer. Given the production Denver has gotten out of young stars Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, Booker figures to be playing for another squad in 2020, as the Broncos are likely to find…read more

  • Picks up two yards in win

    Booker caught one of his two targets for two yards during Sunday's 27-17 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Booker's day could have been a little nicer if he managed to wrangle a well-placed pass downfield from Drew Lock during the Broncos' opening drive. The veteran back may be playing his final game as a Bronco on Sunday against the Raiders, as he heads to free agency in the offseason. He's managed a few offensive snaps a game in recent weeks as he has reclaimed some of the passing-down role he enjoyed in 2018, but not nearly enough to pique fantasy interest.

  • Gets one touch

    Booker earned a five-yard carry during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City.

    Analysis: Booker continues to get minimal action on offense with just five snaps and one touch Sunday. He has garnered a touch in four of his last five games, but figures to be kept to a limited role behind Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. He's a solid receiver out of the backfield and should record a catch or two Sunday against a weak Detroit pass defense, but his upside is extremely limited absent an injury to Lindsay and Freeman.

  • Gains season-high 24 yards

    Booker caught two passes for 24 yards during Sunday's 38-24 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Booker set up Denver's third touchdown of the day early in the second quarter, angling out of the backfield for a 25-yard catch-and-run. That play alone accounted for more yards than Booker had previously accounted for all season. The fourth-year back remains a distant third on the depth chart behind sophomores Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay, but at least -- unlike earlier this season -- the Broncos are rotating him in on offense in recent weeks. The fact that "rotating him in" consisted of…read more

  • Gains four yards in loss

    Booker gained four yards on his lone rush during Sunday's 27-23 loss in Minnesota. He was unable to bring in either of his targets.

    Analysis: Booker's five offensive snaps Sunday were three more than he had in the previous nine games combined and he now has a touch in each of the last two weeks. That counts as progress for the veteran back, who has been relegated to special teams duty for much of the season. So long as Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman are healthy, Booker probably won't get much more than a touch or two as the No. 3 RB on Sunday against Buffalo's stout defense.

  • Gets first offensive touch of 2019

    Booker caught a 14-yard pass during Sunday' 24-19 win over the Browns. He also had a 32-yard kick return during the contest.

    Analysis: With the Broncos facing first down and 20 yards to go in the fourth quarter, Booker angled out of the backfield and cut through the defense over the middle. The veteran back has been overshadowed by sophomores Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman in Denver's backfield and generally doesn't even get much action as a returner so long as Diontae Spencer, who exited Sunday's game with a knee injury, is in the fold. Don't expect Sunday's catch to be a jumping-off point. Booker logged just one offensive…read more

  • Fails to log offensive snap, again

    Booker did not see an offensive snap during Sunday's 27-16 loss in Green Bay.

    Analysis: That's back-to-back weeks for Booker, who also has been phased out as a returner. Booker's silence offensively came during a game in which Royce Freeman reportedly battled shoulder discomfort, and head coach Vic Fangio told reporters that Green Bay dared the Broncos to run. If he wasn't used in such a game against Green Bay, it's doubtful that he gets many opportunities against the Jaguars.

  • Phased out on offense, returns

    Booker did not record a touch and did not return a kick during Sunday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Booker did not log a single offense snap Sunday and, while he was in on 14 special-teams plays, he seems to have been replaced at kick returner by Diontae Spencer. Booker figures to be an emergency play only if Phillip Lindsay or Royce Freeman go down, and that may only be until Theo Riddick (shoulder) is activated off IR.

  • Sees one offensive snap

    Booker was not targeted and did not garner a carry during Monday's 24-16 loss in Oakland.

    Analysis: The score likely prevented the Broncos from pounding the ball the way they might have liked to entering Monday's opener, but that didn't stop Denver from trying to run rookie tight end Noah Fant and quarterback Joe Flacco rather than Booker. The veteran Ute was always going to be a distant third to talented sophomores Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, but it was telling that newly acquired receiver/returner Diontae Spencer was back for kicks as opposed to Booker, who was listed atop the depth…read more

  • Gets six touches

    Booker rushed four times for 15 yards and caught both his targets for eight yards in Monday night's 24-15 preseason loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Booker's touches almost exclusively came on Denver's two-minute drive to close the first half. His contributions helped earn the Broncos a field goal, displaying his comfort level in a critical game situation in the process. With Theo Riddick (shoulder) sidelined, Booker is aiming to hold off Khalfani Muhammad and Devontae Jackson to serve as his team's No. 3 tailback behind Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman again this season. Considering Muhammad didn't play Monday and Jackson managed just six…read more

  • Could fill Riddick's place

    With Theo Riddick (shoulder) set to miss the first few games of the season, Booker may find a role on the team, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The offseason has not been kind to Booker, who has seen rookie Devontae Jackson and pickups Theo Riddick and Khalfani Muhammad all take shots at replacing him as RB3. Riddick's injury makes it far more likely that the Broncos keep him as a veteran backup to at least start the season, but he's not out of the woods yet. Muhammad and Jackson have each had their moments during the first two preseason games and both have outperformed Booker as returners. The Broncos may ultimately prefer their…read more

  • Faces competition from Riddick

    The Broncos are signing veteran back Theo Riddick, Rob Demovsky of ESPN NFL Nation reports. The signing directly threatens Booker's role on the team.

    Analysis: There had been whispers that Booker is not a lock to make the final roster throughout the offseason. Those are now alarm bells. Booker's role in Denver's offense is that of a pass-catching option on third downs. Riddick has nabbed 247 passes over the past four seasons and makes Booker redundant. Absent Booker blowing all other options away as a kick returner, Riddick's signing seems to signal Booker's pending departure.

  • Leads pecking order at KR

    Booker is listed as Denver's top kick returner on the team's first official depth chart.

    Analysis: Booker has returned 24 kicks over the past two seasons for an uninspiring 21.3 yards per return. The Broncos have struggled at returner in recent seasons, so any level of stability back there will be valued. That said, Denver's front office is clearly looking at other options to back up the young rushing duo of Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, with Theo Riddick paying a recent visit to Mile High and rookie Devontae Jackson nipping at Booker's heels on the depth chart both at running back and…read more

  • Still getting first-team looks

    Booker and Royce Freeman got most of the work with the starting offense while Phillip Lindsay focused on rehabbing a wrist injury this spring, ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold reports.

    Analysis: Lacking Freeman's size and power or Lindsay's speed and elusiveness, Booker understandably seems to be the forgotten man in Denver's backfield, though his reliable hands could be enough to earn some work on passing downs. The Broncos ideally would like to see Lindsay seize those snaps, but his five drops on 47 targets contributed to a lackluster mark of just 5.1 YPT last season. To be fair, Booker wasn't much better at 5.4, dropping his career mark to 6.1 YPT. If nothing else, he has a good…read more

  • Sees reduced role in 2018

    Booker rushed 34 times for 183 yards and a touchdown and added 38 catches for 275 yards on 51 targets in 2018.

    Analysis: Despite establishing a new career high in receptions, Booker still finished his third NFL campaign with 37 fewer touches than either of his first two seasons. The presence of rookies Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman were major factors, with a large chunk of Booker's carries coming in games in which one of the two young stars exited early. Booker should have a similar third-down role in 2019, though his opportunities could diminish if the Broncos grow more comfortable with using Lindsay in…read more

  • May benefit from Lindsay's absence

    Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said Booker will "get a bunch of runs" in Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

    Analysis: Both Booker and Royce Freeman will see boosts in their respective fantasy stocks in Week 17 after lead back Phillip Lindsay was shut down with a wrist injury that will require surgery. Given that he's logged 113 rushing attempts to Booker's 29 this season, Freeman will inherit the bulk of Lindsay's touches on the ground, though Musgrave's comments hint that a timeshare on some level will be in the works. Even if Booker notices a mild uptick in carries, he's still more likely to offer most of…read more

  • Totals 42 yards in loss

    Booker rushed three times for 21 yards and caught three of five targets for 21 more yards in Monday night's 27-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Booker was a triple threat on Christmas Eve as he added 116 yards on five kick returns in the contest. He saw his first rushing attempts in three weeks while Phillip Lindsay was knocked out of the game with a wrist injury. If Lindsay is unable to go Week 17 at home against the Chargers, Booker would stand to see another handful of rushes in addition to his usual allotment of targets.

  • Snags two passes

    Booker caught two of three targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 17-16 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Just about every Denver loss has come with the Broncos driving for the winning score in the closing seconds but coming up short. That was the case again Saturday when Booker almost saved the day, helping convert a fourth down with a 15-yard catch in the game's closing moments. The Broncos stalled shortly thereafter. The veteran continues to trail both of his rookie teammates in snaps per game as he holds the role of third-down back. Sunday brings an Oakland squad that, despite its struggles,…read more

  • Targeted twice in loss

    Booker caught both of his targets, gaining 11 yards during Sunday's 20-14 loss in San Francisco.

    Analysis: Booker was held without a carry for the third time in four games, not surprising considering the Broncos' typically efficient run game was limited against a stout 49ers front. With Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) now out for the year, the Broncos have nothing resembling experience at receiver, and teams really only need to worry about stopping the run. Stacked boxes are typically bad for tailbacks, but Booker's role as the pass-catching back can be more valuable. That formula might be a tough play…read more

  • Delivers with clutch catch

    Booker caught both of his targets for 38 yards and added a 4-yard carry during Sunday's 24-10 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Booker made his impact during the Broncos' final drive of the first half. Facing third-and-long at midfield, a scrambling Case Keenum found Booker along the right sideline for a 30-yard catch-and-run. Booker nabbed an 8-yard pass on the next play to set up a Phillip Lindsay touchdown run. Booker, the elder statesman in the Broncos' backfield, has certainly seen his opportunities drop behind rookies Lindsay and Royce Freeman. He's mostly been relegated to the passing game, which may be key next…read more

  • Sees just six snaps

    Booker caught one of two targets for six yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Booker has now not recorded a carry in consecutive games and in three of his last five contests. His role is pretty strictly as a pass protector and occasional third-down target. On Sunday, he saw just six offensive snaps, well behind rookies Phillip Lindsay (36) and Royce Freeman (15). Sunday brings a weak Bengals defense ranked in the bottom 10 of the league against the pass and the run, but Booker likely will not get enough opportunities to capitalize.

  • Role declines with Freeman back

    Booker played 11 of the Broncos' 56 offensive snaps (19.6 percent) and finished with a four-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: After playing 43 percent of the Broncos' snaps in their previous two games, Booker predictably saw his usage decline while rookie Royce Freeman (ankle) returned from injury. Freeman only played 13 snaps, but saw eight touches (seven carries, one catch) behind lead back Philip Lindsay (11 carries, four receptions), leaving no real role left in the game plan for Booker. Assuming Freeman came out of the contest without any setbacks, his opportunities should only expand from here, relegating Booker…read more

  • Scores first touchdown of 2018

    Booker rushed for 15 yards and a touchdown on three carries and added two catches for nine yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to Houston. He fumbled during the contest.

    Analysis: Booker swept around the right end and dashed upfield for a 14-yard touchdown in the second quarter, helping dig Denver out of the 13-0 hole it had found itself in. To be sure, Booker helped contribute to that hole as his costly turnover deep in Broncos territory set up a Texans touchdown. Booker was coming off a big 101-yard game in Week 8 but was cut back on Sunday. His touches probably will dwindle further following the bye, when rookie Royce Freeman (ankle) likely returns against a…read more
