Raiders: RB Devonte Booker
Raiders fans have been begging for a backup running back that could compliment Josh Jacobs in the backfield. They begged for players like AJ Dillion in the draft to be a bruiser and give Jacobs a breather and not have the offense depend on him too much. Instead, the Raiders picked up Devonte Booker, who has played extremely well in the backup role to Josh Jacobs.
Booker finished the game with seven carries for 62 yards on the day. His biggest run of the game was a 43 yard gain when the Raiders were down 21-10 in the second quarter, helping finish with a touchdown. Booker has been doing this all year, making the most out of power concepts with big run after big run for huge gains.
While Raiders fans continue to look for the perfect compliment to Jacobs, the Raiders might have already found that back. Booker can catch and run the football to give Jacobs a breather. The former Utah Ute has been one of the best signings for the Raiders this season.
