When/Where/How To Watch #ProUtes For Week 11

After wilting away in Denver for the past four seasons, former Utah running back Devontae Booker has been thriving in his backup role with the Las Vegas Raiders. He and Josh Jacobs are a true dynamic duo

When Devontae Booker became a free agent this past summer, it was unknown what sort of calling he would get in the NFL. Truthfully, there wasn't expected to be much of a calling for Booker, who had spent the past four seasons wilting away in a crowded Denver backfield.

But lucky for him, head coach Jon Gruden and the Las Vegas Raiders were looking for a competent backup to spare workhorse running back Josh Jacobs. Their attention quickly turned to Booker, who they signed to a one-year, $1.04-million contract in the offseason to serve as a backup and mentor to Jacobs.

Now over halfway through the season and it's safe to say that the decision to sign Booker has been a successful one. On the season, Booker is averaging 6.2 yards per carry on 49 attempts for a total of 304 yards and three touchdowns. He's also added nine catches for 62 yards.

Booker's 366 total yards thus far is just under half of his total from his promising rookie season when finished with 612 yards rushing and four touchdowns, while adding 31 receptions for 265 yards and one touchdown.

There's a likelihood that Booker surpasses those number the rest of the way, which is why he and Jacobs have combined to form arguably the most dynamic duo at running back in the league.
