Continues recent sack surge
DEChicago Bears
December 21, 2025
Booker recorded seven tackles, including four solo, and 0.5 sacks in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Booker now has 2.5 of his 3.5 sacks over his last two contests, accounting for nearly all of his big-play production this season. He has posted between two and four tackles in all but two games, underscoring his reliance on sacks for fantasy value. That profile makes him a low-floor, sack-dependent IDP option.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Booker was selected by the Bears in the fifth round of this year's draft. At 6-5 and 240 pounds, the pass rusher may need to bulk up a bit before having a chance to earn a prominent role. The Kansas product has only 18 games of college experience. As a result, Booker also may have a developmental curve as he transitions to the NFL. With Montez Sweat and DeMarcus Walker set as starters at defensive end in Chicago's 4-3 defense, Booker will have the luxury of starting his career as a rotational player.
