Limited role in win Booker recorded one carry for six yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Saints.
Impact With Saquon Barkley looking like the star running back the Giants drafted in 2018, Booker was an afterthought in the Giants' offense Sunday. It will be difficult for Booker to be anything more than a serviceable backup to spell Barkley when he needs a rest because of the latter's three-down skill set. The 29-year-old veteran's best bet for fantasy production would come if Barkley were to go down with an injury during the season. Next up for the Giants is a divisional matchup against the surging Cowboys.

Limited work against Washington Booker recorded two carries for nine yards while hauling in his lone target for two yards in Thursday's 30-29 loss to Washington.
Impact Although Saquon Barkley was questionable for Thursday's Week 2 matchup as he continues to recover from his 2020 knee surgery, he played 84 percent of the team's offensive snaps. As a result, Booker was on the field for just 14 percent of the offensive snaps and recorded three touches. The 2016 fourth-rounder should continue to see a minimal role while Barkley is healthy.

Small backup role Booker had four carries for seven yards and caught his lone target for six yards Sunday against the Broncos.
Impact If this is Booker's output when Saquon Barkley is limited, you can imagine what it might be when Barkley's carrying the full load again. Booker is the clear backup at least, so if Barkley were to get hurt again, the former would see a decent workload behind one of the league's worst offensive lines.

Garners eight touches Booker rushed seven times for 14 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 22-20 preseason loss to the Patriots.
Impact Booker started ahead of Corey Clement, but despite a relatively large preseason workload, he couldn't get much going against New England's defense. In comparison, Clement rushed four times for 24 yards but was not targeted. As Booker now approaches the regular season, he's seemingly still the favorite to serve as Saquon Barkley's (knee) top backup, which could lend itself to more opportunities if Barkley is slowed at all in the early going, beginning with Week 1's matchup versus the Broncos.

Starts and scores Booker rushed six times for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Browns. He also caught both his targets for 13 yards.
Impact Booker was highly involved on his two drives as New York's starting running back, capping his performance with a one-yard touchdown plunge. Corey Clement then entered the game and finished with nine carries for 30 yards. With star tailback Saquon Barkley still working his way back from last year's knee injury, Booker and Clement are the top candidates to benefit from extra snaps, and Booker made a strong case Sunday to land the No. 2 job. Booker will hope to cement that role with another good showing in the Giants' exhibition finale next Sunday versus the Patriots.

Facing challenge from Clement? Booker has been working as the Giants' top running back at training camp, but he's been outplayed by Corey Clement so far, according to Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com.
Impact The Giants gave Booker a two-year, $6 million contract with the thought he'd be their lead back if Saquon Barkley (knee) wasn't ready for Week 1. That's likely still the plan, but it's interesting to hear that Clement is building a case for a role of his own. The Giants also have Alfred Morris on hand for veteran backfield depth, plus rookie sixth-round pick Gary Brightwell. Meanwhile, Barkley remains on the PUP list, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggesting the 2018 first-round pick will make his 2021 debut at some point between Weeks 1 and 3.
