Six touches on SNF Booker rushed for 16 yards on five carries and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Booker posted a collective 149 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries behind starter Josh Jacobs in Weeks 9 and 10, but the Raiders' rushing attack took a back seat on Sunday Night Football as quarterback Derek Carr showed out with three touchdowns and 275 yards on 31 pass attempts.

Leads team with 68 rushing yards Booker took eight carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers.

Impact Booker, whose 68 rushing yards ultimately paced the Raiders' backfield ahead of starter Josh Jacobs, also tallied the game's opening points with a 23-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The eight carries marked a season high for Booker, but he was still limited to just 13 offensive snaps as Jacobs projects to retain the lead role again Week 10 versus the Broncos.

Impact Booker wasn't the only Raider to struggle on the ground, as starter Josh Jacobs also averaged just 1.7 yards per carry. Despite Jacobs' ineffectiveness Sunday, he'll remain the primary option out of the backfield when the Raiders travel to Cleveland in Week 8 while Booker retains backup duties alongside Jalen Richard.

Doubles previous season high in rushing Booker rushed for 62 yards on seven carries and also caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 40-32 win over the Chiefs.

Impact Booker was dealt a season-high eight touches just one week after playing only six offensive snaps in a loss to the Bills.

Uninvolved against Buffalo Booker played just six offensive snaps in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.

Impact Booker was not dealt a single carry, nor was he targeted in the passing game while the Raiders failed to get much going on the ground as well. The team rushed 23 times for just 86 yards, but an ankle injury to fellow backup Jalen Richard could allow for Booker to see a slightly expanded role on passing downs in Week 5 against the Chiefs. Veteran Theo Riddick is a candidate to be called up from the practice squad again, however.

Impact Booker's 23-yard run was the longest of the day for the Raiders, but he wasn't targeted in the passing game after totaling four catches through the team's first two games of the season. Fellow backup Jalen Richard was dealt just one carry, but caught three passes during Sunday's tilt as the duo continues to provide depth behind workhorse Josh Jacobs.
