De'VonAchane

News: 2 days agoAchane rushed 11 times for 36 yards and brought in four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Spin: Achane ceded only one carry to backup Jaylen Wright, but the former's opportunities on the ground were limited due to a game script that saw the Dolphins trailing throughout. Achane did finish second in receptions and third in targets for Miami on the afternoon, and his 15 touches were tops among all of the team's skill-position players. He should continue to enjoy a solid floor in terms of his workload each week, as even if the Dolphins are frequently in scenarios similar to Sunday's, his prowess as a receiver projects to consistently keep him on the field.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Achane has quickly staked his claim as one of the best running backs in the league. The 2023 third-round pick has scored either 11 or 12 touchdowns in each of his three seasons and put up a career-high 1,838 scrimmage yards in 2025. Achane's elite receiving production is nothing new (he has finished in the top five among backs in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two years), but he made another leap forward as a rusher last season, finishing fifth at the position in rushing yards. His 5.62 yards per carry is best among qualified backs since he entered the league. The 24-year-old is eyeing his third straight top-five fantasy campaign, and while that might be tricky in an overhauled Miami offense led by quarterback Malik Willis, Achane has minimal competition for touches and should easily be the offensive centerpiece. He's a solid RB1 option.
