Giants' Devontae Booker inactive for Week 3 clash with Atlanta

New York Giants running back Devontae Booker is inactive for Week 3's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

What It Means:

Booker is a surprise inactive for Week 3 after not appearing on the injury list at all during the week. With Booker ruled out, the Giants only have rookie Gary Brightwell behind Saquon Barkley in their backfield against the Falcons. Our models expect Barkley to handle 15.1 carries and 3.7 receptions against an Atlanta defense ranked seventh-worst against the run in numberFire's NFL Team Rankings.

Barkley's Week 3 projection includes 69.3 rushing yards, 27.9 receiving yards, 0.88 touchdowns, and 16.7 FanDuel points. His salary is $6,000.
