FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 10

Devontae Booker, RB, Denver Broncos

FanDuel Price: $7,800
Salary Change: Up $800

When C.J. Anderson injured his knee in Week 7 and was subsequently placed on injured reserve, Broncos’ rookie Devontae Booker took over the lead duties in the Denver backfield. For the last two games, Booker has played a majority of the running back snaps -- 82 percent and 83 percent in each of his starts -- but his production has been miserable. He’s only mustered 76 rushing yards on 29 carries while adding just 38 receiving yards on six catches.

Kapri Bibbs, a third-year undrafted free agent, has played sparingly this season, but he did take a screen pass 69 yards to the house against the Raiders in Week 9. Despite touching the ball just 10 times this season, Bibbs has made a case to earn more playing time.

In fact, Mike Klis, a respected Denver beat reporter, suggested Bibbs will take more snaps in Week 10:

Booker’s salary has increased $800 more than likely because of the impending matchup with the New Orleans Saints -- they’ve allowed the second-most FanDuel points to opposing running backs this season (28.8 per game).

Whoever gets the bulk of the carries will be an excellent play on Sunday. But with his salary increase and the legitimate possibility of losing his job, it’s best to avoid Booker in all formats.
