Booth Jr. sparked a Cowboys audition to the 53-man roster with a standout preseason showing that included bait-and-tap pressure on Wester, an interception off Cooper Rush, and a 40-yard return for six. He finished with a team-high eight tackles and two passes defended, earning praise from Brian Schottenheimer for the game-changing pick. The Dallas defense leaned on Booth as injuries thin the corner depth, making his final exhibition appearance critical in the race for snaps and roster spots.

Dallas has given Booth time to settle in after the Vikings trade, and this performance underscores his chance to push through the crowded CB group. With Diggs, Revel Jr., Carson, and Butler banged up, Booth is compelling as they navigate the rest of camp and the cut-down timeline. The message from Booth—trust your instincts, bring swagger, and make decisive plays—lands squarely in the fantasy world where roster battles and defensive turnovers can swing weekly value.

Wester provided the Ravens with a contrasting storyline, testing Booth and illustrating how preseason reps shape depth charts. The result mattered less than the takeaways and development on both sides, a reminder that even for fantasy purposes, preseason storylines like Booth’s rise can forecast opportunities once the regular season arrives.
