EDGE Analysis
Booker got another chance to serve as the team's lead back with Saquon Barkley (ankle) still sidelined. He out-carried Elijah Penny 14-9 and also had three targets as opposed to Penny's zero. Booker found the end zone for the third time this season, icing the game late in the fourth quarter with a 19-yard rush. In the three weeks Barkley has missed -- including the game he exited early -- Booker has earned at least 15 touches and racked up over 50 yards. There's a possibility that Barkley returns in Week 8, but Booker figures to benefit from his absence should Barkley remain sidelined.
