Bookers snap count % has been trending upward every week, peaking at over 50% last week. Booker is the most complete back on the team, leading the team in rushing last week as well as serving as the pass catching back. CJ is gone after this year, with a new OC and Lynch now starting I could see them trying to see what they have for future references. It might be the optimist in me, but I see him being a serviceable flex/rb2 ROS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, this upcoming game against the Raiders could go a long ways towards making that prediction happen. And, not just in what he does, but how much and in what way he is used (more screens and wheel routes out of the backfield perhaps?). I can see a 16/62/1 rushing + 3/25/0 receiving line for him this week. Definitely flex worthy, especially in PPR leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive been keeping track of Bookers usage for weeks. They kept using him in the red zone right when he returned from injury. This quote from new OC yesterday. https://milehighsports.com/bill-musgrave-on-his-new-job-the-new-offense-and-paxton-lynch/ What I find interesting is that the reporter didn’t specifically asked about Booker. Yet Musgrave pointed him out on his own. Transcript below. Reporter: Q. What is your philosophy on the running back group? Is it more bellcow approach in your eyes or running back by committee? Musgrave A. Well I think I've seen what you've seen, is that Book has really been playing some good football, so I think Book deserves more touches and we'll see how the game goes. Fortunately that stable of running backs is a real deep stable with Jamaal and of course with CJ so we have confidence in all 3 of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonasdash 528 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 @Impreza178 is right though. CJ Anderson is a superior running back. He's better at actual running. He's way better at blocking. He can catch just as well as Booker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonasdash 528 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 CJ: 4.1 YPCarry (139 carries), 7.1 YPCatch (15 catches) Booker: 3.8 YPCarry (40 carries) , 10.1 YPCatch (18 catches) There is very little evidence Booker is a better running back in any respect. He's slightly better at receiving, but that can easily be attributed to the Broncos being behind in so many games and needing to play pass game a lot more. The ONLY games that Denver has won all year, CJ Anderson had 20+ carries. PERIOD. That's not to say that Denver coaching will not continue to fvck this up, but if Denver actually wants to win, CJ Anderson is the running back they should be using.

Speaking specifically to that bolded bit--that can be a misleading stat. Did Denver run more therefore they got the lead and won the game OR was Denver winning due to other circumstances therefore they ran more to kill clock and preserve the lead. Correlation does not imply causation. Do not fall in to that trap. Don't really have a horse in the Booker/CJ race just pointing out that line of thinking is wrong.

mortman212 324 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 New OCoordinator says he deserves more touches, he already is the receiving RB is he flex worthy this week. Charles only played 4 snaps last week so I think he's done, can he beat CJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
