TOP 15 DEEP SLEEPERS TO TARGET IN 2017 – NUMBER 11: DEVONTAE BOOKER

This time last year, a lot of people likely pegged Devontae Booker to become the next big thing at running back for the Denver Broncos. Instead, Booker disappointed as a rookie, rushing for 614 yards and just four touchdowns.

C.J. Anderson missed time last year, but is back in 2017, along with Jamaal Charles. That puts Booker as the third best back on the depth chart and his role with the Broncos is up in the air for sure.

Anderson and Charles are both injury prone, however, so Booker could end up getting more playing time than many were expecting him to this year. The Broncos quarterback situation is a mess and their offensive line is even worse, which could make running the ball Denver’s best option.

Booker is the perfect handcuff option for fantasy football this year and that’s a wise strategy for those of you who picked up Anderson and/or Charles.
