Denver Broncos running back Devontae Booker could miss "up to" 6-8 weeks because of a wrist injury, reports Profootballtalk.com.
Booker is now in doubt for Week 1, and it's possible the Broncos opt to open the season with him on the reserve/PUP list, which would sideline him for the first six games. Either way, this essentially cripples any chance Booker had of usurping the starting gig from C.J. Anderson, but it does seem to bode well for the outlook of sixth-round rookie De'Angelo Henderson.
rb68 66.9 rushes 273.2 yards 0.62 touchdowns 13.1 receptions 86.9 yards 0.32 touchdowns numberFire's models currently rank Booker as the 68th fantasy running back entering the season. We expect him to rush 66.9 times for 273.2 yards and 0.62 touchdowns in 2017 while adding 13.1 catches for 86.9 yards and 0.32 touchdowns through the air.
