Austin Booker: Breaking News

Quiet finale caps breakout

Booker recorded three tackles in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Booker finished with 35 tackles, 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble across 10 games after missing the first eight contests with a knee injury. He routinely played over 80 percent of the snaps and took a major step forward after recording just 1.5 sacks as a rookie in 2024. He is under contract through 2027 and profiles as a rising IDP asset if his health holds.

Adds to sack surge

Booker recorded three tackles, including one solo and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Booker now has 3.5 of his 4.5 sacks over his last three contests, accounting for the majority 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.

Continues recent sack surge

Booker recorded seven tackles, including four solo, and 0.5 sacks in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday. 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.
