Booker rushed for six yards on five carries and caught one of four targets for a loss of a yard in Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Booker saw a season-high four targets and was dealt at least five carries for a fifth straight game Sunday, but he gained just five total yards from scrimmage as the Raiders' offense struggled as a whole. Starter Josh Jacobs exited with an ankle injury, but initial tests revealed only a minor sprain. Nonetheless, his participation levels in practice should be monitored throughout the week as Booker could handle a majority of the work out of the backfield in Week 13 against the Jets if Jacobs misses any time. Booker proved capable when dealt an uptick in volume back in Week 10 when he took 16 carries for 81 yards and two scores against the Broncos.

Booker rushed for 16 yards on five carries and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Booker posted a collective 149 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries behind starter Josh Jacobs in Weeks 9 and 10, but the Raiders' rushing attack took a back seat on Sunday Night Football as quarterback Derek Carr showed out with three touchdowns and 275 yards on 31 pass attempts. More favorable game-flow possibilities could await for Booker the next two weeks on the road against the Falcons and Jets.

Booker collected 81 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries, adding a two-yard catch during Sunday's 37-12 win against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Game flow worked in favor of Las Vegas running backs with the Raiders carrying a 14-point lead over Denver heading into the fourth quarter, and the team ultimately ran the ball 41 times against just 25 pass attempts. Booker obliterated his previous season high in carries (eight) during the lopsided affair, providing him with three combined touchdowns over the Raiders' two most recent divisional wins against the Chargers and Broncos. Coming up in Week 11 is a home game against the Chiefs. When Las Vegas and Kansas City met in Week 5, Booker logged 67 scrimmage yards in a 40-32 victory.

Booker took eight carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Booker, whose 68 rushing yards ultimately paced the Raiders' backfield ahead of starter Josh Jacobs, also tallied the game's opening points with a 23-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The eight carries marked a season high for Booker, but he was still limited to just 13 offensive snaps as Jacobs projects to retain the lead role again Week 10 versus the Broncos.

Booker rushed for 29 yards on five carries and caught his only target for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Booker's 10 offensive snaps marked a low since Week 4, but he still managed to rack up 46 total yards on six touches despite the minimal playing time Sunday. Starter Josh Jacobs took 31 carries for 128 yards, and he'll be featured again Week 9 versus the Chargers.

Booker rushed for five yards on three carries and caught both his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Booker wasn't the only Raider to struggle on the ground, as starter Josh Jacobs also averaged just 1.7 yards per carry. Despite Jacobs' ineffectiveness Sunday, he'll remain the primary option out of the backfield when the Raiders travel to Cleveland in Week 8 while Booker retains backup duties alongside Jalen Richard.

Booker rushed for 62 yards on seven carries and also caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Booker was dealt a season-high eight touches just one week after playing only six offensive snaps in a loss to the Bills. He capitalized on the opportunity with a 43-yard gain in the second quarter, ultimately setting up a Darren Waller touchdown. Booker will hope to remain a part of the game plan when Las Vegas hosts the Buccaneers following a Week 6 bye.

Booker played just six offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Booker was not dealt a single carry, nor was he targeted in the passing game while the Raiders failed to get much going on the ground as well. The team rushed 23 times for just 86 yards, but an ankle injury to fellow backup Jalen Richard could allow for Booker to see a slightly expanded role on passing downs in Week 5 against the Chiefs. Veteran Theo Riddick is a candidate to be called up from the practice squad again, however.

Booker rushed for 31 yards on three carries in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Booker's 23-yard run was the longest of the day for the Raiders, but he wasn't targeted in the passing game after totaling four catches through the team's first two games of the season. Fellow backup Jalen Richard was dealt just one carry, but caught three passes during Sunday's tilt as the duo continues to provide depth behind workhorse Josh Jacobs.

Booker tallied four carries for 29 yards and also chipped in three receptions for 23 yards in Week 1 against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Josh Jacobs dominated the touches out of the Raiders backfield, though Booker was clearly the preferred second option. Booker looked explosive on a few plays, racking up a 15-yard run and 14-yard reception. He isn't likely to carry much standalone value, though Booker appears to be the back to roster in case of a Jacobs injury.
