De'Von Achane Keeps on Rolling as the Dolphins Head to Spain

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane continues to be an elite performer regardless of matchup or his team's offensive struggles. Last week, he tore up the Bills for 174 rushing yards on 22 carries and added six catches for 51 more yards. He had a pair of rushing touchdowns, giving him nine scores in his 10 games this season. He's averaged 78.0 rushing yards and 32.5 receiving yards per game, and his heavy involvement as a receiver out of the backfield and home run potential on every touch make him a must-start option in all formats. The Commanders are a top-10 matchup for running backs, and in his smash spot in Spain on Sunday morning, Achane is the No. 2 RB in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings.

De'Von Achane Explodes for Two Huge Touchdowns in Upset Win Over Bills

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane had 22 carries for 174 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Buffalo Bills. He also caught all six of his targets for an additional 51 receiving yards. The 24-year-old turned in his best fantasy outing since his rookie season, cementing his position as the overall RB3 in fantasy football so far this year. Achane took advantage of a positive game script and a favorable matchup on Sunday, but he has previously shown that he is capable of producing regardless of opponent. Managers should continue to start him as a high-end RB1 in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders.

De'Von Achane Still a Top-Five Running Back

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane continues to be an elite option in a struggling offense, coming into his Week 10 matchup with the Bills. Achane could get even more work than normal with Ollie Gordon II (ankle) questionable and some extra rest since the Dolphins last played on Thursday Night Football over a week ago. Achane rushed 14 times for 67 yards in the Dolphins' Week 9 loss to the Ravens, adding six receptions for 39 yards. He had 12 carries for 62 yards and seven catches for 29 yards the first time he faced Buffalo this season, and he should be very busy once again on Sunday at home. He has seven touchdowns in nine games this season, and his consistent PPR involvement keeps both his floor and ceiling very high. He has logged double-digit carries every week since Week 1, while racking up 56 targets in those seven games. This week, he is the No. 4 RB in RotoBaller's rankings, making him an elite start in all formats.

De'Von Achane Heavily Involved as Receiver in Loss to Baltimore

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed for 67 yards on 14 carries during Thursday's Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also caught six of his 10 targets for an additional 39 receiving yards. While the speedy running back was held without a touchdown for the second time in the last three weeks, his heavy receiving workload salvaged his fantasy performance, especially in full-PPR and half-PPR formats. Achane ultimately led the Dolphins in targets on Thursday and finished second on the team in receptions, trailing Jaylen Waddle. Although his upside has been slightly capped by Miami's poor offensive output this season, his floor has remained one of the highest in the league. He has scored at least 12 fantasy points (full-PPR) in every game this year, ranking as the overall RB3 so far. A rare matchup-proof running back, Achane has shown that he belongs in lineups regardless of what Miami's offensive forecast looks like. He should be treated as a mid-to-high RB1 for Week 10 against the Bills.

De'Von Achane Continues To Be Must-Start In Week 9

As one of the most consistent options across fantasy football in 2025, running back De'Von Achane should be locked into starting lineups in all formats when his Miami Dolphins take on the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. The former Texas A&M star has been among the most impressive players in the league this year, given the circumstances. Miami is 2-6, briefly benched its starting quarterback, lost its top receiver to a gruesome knee injury, has barely seen its top tight end play, could move on from its coaching staff, and yet Achane has performed week in and week out. In PPR formats, Achane has finished no lower than running back No. 17 in eight games, as his solid receiving floor and command of the Miami backfield have made him ultra reliable. Against a Ravens defense ranked 27th against fantasy running backs, Achane should be started confidently in Week 9.

De'Von Achane Still a Top-Five Running Back

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains one of the few players from his team who can be relied on for fantasy football purposes. This week, he and the Dolphins are visiting the Falcons after taking a 31-6 beating last week in Cleveland. Achane still had a decent game in the loss, producing 82 rushing yards on 13 carries and adding three catches for 16 receiving yards. He didn't get into the end zone, but he still has six total touchdowns in his seven games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone against the Falcons, who rank in the middle of the pack against running backs. They did give up two touchdowns to Christian McCaffrey last week, and Achane is very involved as both a rusher and receiver, giving him a high ceiling as this week's No. 5 RB in RotoBaller's rankings.

Dolphins Looking to Spell De'Von Achane More?

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has 89 more touches than the next closest Dolphins RB this year. "I am looking to (diversify the offense), but there are a lot of factors that play into that for it to be executed," head coach Mike McDaniel said when asked by ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques whether he was OK with the current RB split or if the team is looking for ways to "diversify the offense." McDaniel pointed to the game against the Buffalo Bills as the ideal touch distribution for their backfield, when Achane had 12 carries and rookie Ollie Gordon II had nine carries. Through seven games in 2025, Achane has a healthy 212 touches. Fantasy managers are surely happy about that, but the touch distribution could change if the Dolphins can be more competitive in games. It sounds like Miami would like to get Gordon more work, but things just haven't worked out that way. Until further notice, Achane is a set-and-forget RB1 with a high floor given his hefty volume.

De'Von Achane Keeps Rolling as a Top RB Option in Tough Matchup

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the top running backs all season despite his team's offensive inconsistencies. Achane had his best game of the season last week, racking up 128 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, four catches, and 22 receiving yards in his team's narrow loss to the Chargers. He has six touchdowns in his six games this season, averaging 65 rushing yards and 32.5 passing yards per game. He's had a total of 10 catches in the last two weeks without Tyreek Hill (knee) available, and he should remain very involved and productive as both a rusher and receiver as the Dolphins go to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Even though the Browns have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, Achane's volume and production are enough to still make him the RB6 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.

De'Von Achane Scores Twice in Best Rushing Performance of the Season

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 16 times for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught four of his six targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Achane had his best rushing performance of the year, posting season-highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. His speed proved too challenging for Los Angeles' defense to slow down, and he padded his fantasy stats with some extra contributions in the passing game, too. Of course, it wasn't quite enough to get Miami the victory, as the Dolphins fell to 1-5 on the year. The good news for fantasy managers is that Achane has been able to remain a top-10 fantasy running back despite the Dolphins' struggles. He'll continue to be a mid-range RB1 for Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.

De'Von Achane Again a Top Option at Running Back

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the best running backs all season, despite his team's offense running hot and cold. Achane hasn't run for 100 yards in any game, but he has supplemented with great production in the passing game. He has at least six catches in three of his last four games after hauling in six of his seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown last week. He has four total touchdowns in five games while averaging 65.5 rushing yards and 34.6 passing yards per contest. This week, he and the Dolphins will take on the Chargers, who have been very good against the run this season, but did give up two running back touchdowns and 124 rushing yards against the Commanders. Achane's consistently high volume and big-play ability have kept him an elite RB1 in every matchup. In RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings, he is the No. 3 RB in PPR leagues and the No. 8 RB in standard leagues.

De'Von Achane Is an Elite Play Against the Panthers

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane should be very busy in an extremely favorable matchup in Week 5, when his team rolls into Carolina. Achane is coming off a season-high 20 carries on Monday night against the Jets in Week 4, totaling a season-high 99 rushing yards and scoring his first rushing touchdown. His targets were down dramatically because the Dolphins played from ahead, but he could get more work as a receiver with Tyreek Hill (knee) done for the season. Coach Mike McDaniel knows that Achane is a key playmaker in the offense ans always is sure to get him his volume. The Panthers have been a good matchup for running backs, giving up three running back touchdowns in four weeks along with 110 rushing yards and 30.3 receiving yards per game to the position. Achane should continue to serve as the primary back in Miami, and even though he is sharing a little work with rookie Ollie Gordon II, he remains a great play in all formats. His big-play ability, consistent volume, and favorable matchup combine to place him at No. 5 in the RotoBaller RB rankings for this week.

De'Von Achane Totals Over 100 Yards and Touchdown Against Jets

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries while catching one of his two targets for two yards on Monday night against the Jets. Achane continues to look fantastic early in the season and has put up big points for fantasy managers. The star running back unusually only caught one pass tonight after averaging over five coming into the game, but he made up for it somewhat in rushing volume. The 20 carries were the second most of Achane's young career. The usage is extremely favorable for Achane, and now with Tyreek Hill injured and likely out for the season, more volume and designed touches will be directed to Achane. He should continue to be viewed as one of the best running backs in fantasy moving forward.

De'Von Achane Still a RB1

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the few bright spots in the Dolphins' offense this season, and he makes a strong RB1 start against the Jets on Monday Night Football. Achane has scored two touchdowns this season, both as a receiver out of the backfield, and he totaled 147 rushing yards and 141 receiving yards over his three games. He has totaled 15 catches on 19 targets in his last two games, making him a strong PPR option that brings both a high ceiling and a high floor with so much volume. The Jets have allowed three running back touchdowns in their three games, and if the Dolphins play from ahead, the game script could call for plenty of work for Achane. He's the RB5 in RotoBaller's PPR rankings this week, and a very strong start on Monday night in all formats

De'Von Achane Keeps Consistently Contributing

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been about the only bright spot in the Dolphins' offense this season, as the team has struggled to an 0-3 start. Achane had 62 rushing yards and 29 receiving yards on Thursday against the Bills, though, while hauling in seven catches to keep him a PPR beast. Achane did have a rushing touchdown vultured by rookie Ollie Gordon II, but he still played 77% of snaps and is clearly the lead back and top option in the offense. Achane's role as a passcatcher gives him both a high ceiling and a high floor, making him a strong RB1 every week, especially coming into a favorable part of the schedule with the Jets and Panthers lined up for the next two weeks.

De'Von Achane Totals 91 Yards from Scrimmage on Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane volumed his way to a solid fantasy performance on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Achane recorded 62 yards on 12 carries and added another 29 yards on seven catches (nine targets). The 23-year-old ceded a goal-line touch to rookie running back Ollie Gordon II, who scored the lone rushing touchdown of the night for the Dolphins. While it wasn't the most efficient night for Achane, he's proven to be a high-volume touch-earner through his first three games of 2025. Achane has recorded 147 yards on 30 rush attempts, adding 141 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 18 catches. His 23 targets are tied for the team lead with wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Achane remains a must-start fantasy running back.

De'Von Achane Remains a Strong RB1

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the few bright spots for the Dolphins this season, maintaining his status as a top running back play in fantasy despite his offense's struggles. This week, he is the RB9 in the RotoBaller Week 3 rankings as he takes on the Bills on Thursday Night Football. Achane hasn't been very productive on the ground this season, totaling only 85 rushing yards on 18 carries in his first two games, but he has made up for that with his work as a receiver. He has caught a total of 11 passes for 112 yards in his two games this season, finding his way to the end zone as a receiver in each contest. Whether the Dolphins play from ahead or have to go pass-heavy playing from behind, Achane should remain very involved and is a safe play with a high ceiling against the Bills as the Dolphins look to avoid slipping to 0-3.

De'Von Achane Is Making the Most of Miami's Mess

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains an elite running back option for fantasy football every week despite his team's struggles on offense. The Dolphins didn't open much space for Achane in Week 2 against the Patriots, and he only managed 30 rushing yards on 11 carries. No worries, though! Achane is heavily involved as a pass-catcher and hauled in eight of 10 targets for 92 yards and his second receiving score in as many weeks. Achane is an elite PPR producer in Miami's system, and he has a good matchup on Thursday night against the Bills. Despite his team's drama, offensive struggles, and 0-2 record, Achane is a must-start in all formats every week.

De'Von Achane Breaks Off Huge Touchdown Catch in Loss Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 11 times for just 30 rushing yards during Sunday's Week 2 loss against the New England Patriots. However, he also caught eight of 10 targets for an additional 92 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. All in all, while the speedy running back wasn't able to get much going on the ground, he made a huge impact through the air and gave his fantasy managers plenty of reasons to celebrate. He has now scored at least 16.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games this year, putting him in the low-end RB1 conversation for Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills.

De'Von Achane Enters Week 2 As a Fringe RB1

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was one of the few players on his team who made any fantasy contributions in a disastrous Week 1 loss to the Colts. Achane racked up 55 yards on just seven carries and added three catches for 20 yards and his team's only touchdown of the day. Achane was effective with his limited workload, but the offense couldn't sustain any drives with poor timing and pass protection. They'll look to bounce back against the Patriots in Week 2, who did a decent job against Ashton Jeanty in Week 1, but did allow a rushing touchdown. Achane has enough dual-threat upside to be a low-end RB1 despite his team's struggling offense, coming in at RB10 in the RotoBaller Week 2 rankings.

Sep 12, 2025 9:23 PM EST


De'Von Achane Ready to Roll

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has no injury designation and should be ready to go on Sunday when the Dolphins face the Colts. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a calf injury, but was able to return to full practice on Friday. He may share more work with exciting rookie Ollie Gordon with Jaylen Wright (knee) out, but Achane's speed and play-breaking ability on the outside make him the favorite to carry most of the work in Miami's backfield this season. Last year, Achane played all 17 games, totaling 907 rushing yards on 203 attempts, 592 receiving yards on 78 catches, and scoring a total of 12 touchdowns. His dual-threat production has him ranked as the RB5 for Week 1 in RotoBaller's rankings, and he is an elite play who should be started in all season-long formats.
