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.
