4. Devontae Booker, Denver Broncos

Devontae Booker is an interesting player. I liked him a lot coming out of college, but the Broncos running game left a lot to be desired last season. With the departure of C.J. Anderson, Booker becomes the number one back in Denver, however I would not be surprised to see him split carries with Royce Freeman, who the Broncos seem to be optimistic about.

Booker seems to be a guy that will either hit or miss. With the offensive woes of the Denver Broncos of last season, it is hard for me to believe that Booker will be a better running back than the other three starters in the AFC West.

2016-2017: (13 games)

79 carries, 299 yards, 6.1 yards per carry, 1 touchdown.

Prediction:

238 carries, 809 yards, 3.4 yards per carry, 4 touchdowns.
