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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Sep 14, 2025 8:31 PM EST
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.

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.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) is without an injury designation and is "good to go" heading into his team's Week 1 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Achane was limited in practice earlier this week with a calf injury that he suffered at the end of training camp, but it appears he'll be able to play on Sunday. It's possible that Miami limits Achane's snaps to some degree in Week 1, but he's one of the Dolphins' best offensive weapons as both a rusher and receiver, and the team needs him on the field. Achane profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in the season opener in Indianapolis.
Sep 5, 2025 3:59 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) is "absolutely" on track to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday versus the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Achane was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and previously said he feels 100 percent going into the first game of the year. There was speculation around the time he suffered his calf injury at the end of training camp that it might keep him out for multiple weeks to begin the regular season, but Achane has since returned to practice and put those concerns to bed. Fantasy managers would love for him to be cleared entirely on Friday's final injury report going into Sunday's tilt. But the bottom line is that if the 23-year-old speedster is active on Sunday, he should be a must-start in all fantasy lineups as Miami's clear RB1.
Sep 5, 2025 12:17 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) appeared to be limited in the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The fact that Achane is practicing at all is a good sign after he missed the final two weeks of training camp with a calf injury, and head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday that he expects the 23-year-old to be active for Week 1 this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers would be happy to see Achane upgrade to full participation by the end of the week, but as long as he's active on game day, he should be in play as at least a high-end RB2 for fantasy lineups to kick off the season. With backup Jaylen Wright (leg) expected to miss the first couple of weeks, rookie Ollie Gordon II will have a bigger role as a change-of-pace option behind Achane.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) is returning to practice on Monday and is on track to play in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Achane missed over a week of practice due to a lingering calf issue, but appears to be full-go early this week. The 23-year-old should see a heavy volume of touches in both the run and pass game for Miami this season, particularly given the team's questionable running back depth behind him. Rookie Ollie Gordon II impressed in the preseason and looks like Miami's RB2 entering the year, but he's a seventh-round pick and lacks NFL experience. As long as Achane can recover from this calf issue fully, he profiles as a fantasy RB1.
Sep 1, 2025 11:07 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) should be ready to go for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7, versus the Indianapolis Colts, barring any setbacks, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. General manager Chris Grier said on Wednesday that he expects Achane to be ready next weekend, although Furones doesn't sound as confident here. The 23-year-old lead back has not practiced with the team in over a week as he deals with a nagging calf injury that has put his availability ahead of the Week 1 opener in question. Fantasy managers should have a much better idea of Achane's status for Week 1 when Miami begins official practices next week. Achane's status is of even more importance with Jaylen Wright (leg) expected to miss a couple weeks after having leg surgery. Their injuries have made rookie Ollie Gordon II an intriguing late-round flier in fantasy drafts.
Aug 29, 2025 3:17 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) did not put in any practice work on Thursday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Achane hasn't practiced in over a week due to a nagging calf injury, but general manager Chris Grier said on Wednesday that the team expects him to play in Week 1 of the regular season against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7. We're still a bit skeptical, and fantasy managers should be, too, until the 23-year-old gets back onto the practice field. The Dolphins could just be playing this one extra cautious, especially with backup Jaylen Wright (leg) having leg surgery and not expected to be ready for the start of the year. Achane will be a must-start in all fantasy lineups if he's active in Week 1, but if he's out or limited, it would pave the way for rookie Ollie Gordon II to see significant backfield work.
Aug 28, 2025 12:51 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) was not practicing on Wednesday, according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Achane has been dealing with a lingering calf injury throughout most of August. However, earlier on Wednesday, the team's general manager noted that he expects their top running back to be "ready" for their Week 1 match against the Colts. While the Dolphins could be closely monitoring his workload, seeing him continue to sit out in practice is not a positive sign. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to Week 1. When healthy, Achane is one of the most productive running backs in the sport. Last season, Achane enjoyed a breakout campaign totaling 907 yards on the ground and 592 through the air. If he were to miss time, rookie Ollie Gordon II would likely be bumped up the depth chart.
Aug 27, 2025 4:38 PM EST
Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said the club should have running back De'Von Achane (calf) available for Week 1, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. The star back's status for the start of the season has been something of an open question, but the club's optimism Wednesday certainly was a good sign. Achane piled up 78 catches and six receiving touchdowns last season to go with 907 rushing yards and six more scores on the ground, making him one of the most dynamic fantasy assets in the league. He looks ready to go for the Dolphins' opener against Indianapolis.
Aug 27, 2025 10:43 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) was not seen working at the team's practice on Tuesday, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Achane also missed all of last week's practices due to a calf injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel said over the weekend that the 23-year-old speedster is expected to return to the practice field next week when the team begins preparing to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 on Sunday, Sept. 7. It's a situation to watch very closely for fantasy purposes, as Jaylen Wright (leg) is expected to miss the start of the season. If Achane is also iffy for Week 1, it could put rookie Ollie Gordon II in line to serve as Miami's lead back in his first regular-season NFL game. Achane still has RB1 upside in fantasy, but his calf injury should at least make fantasy managers think twice on draft day.
Aug 26, 2025 3:31 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf) carries significant injury concerns into the early portion of the 2025 regular season. The severity and timing of Achane's calf injury present a concern for fantasy managers as Week 1 approaches, according to former team doctor and NFL injury expert Dr. David J. Chao. Specifically, he notes that any player who suffers an injury near the end of training camp is likely to carry some sort of injury designation into the regular season, whether that's a "DNP" during practice sessions or a "questionable" tag heading into the weekend. Teams that play on a Sunday aren't required to release an injury report until Wednesday, so we're still more than one week away from seeing how the Dolphins classify Achane's participation level in practice. However, Chao expects Achane to appear on the injury report in some capacity, and his status for Week 1 remains up in the air. If neither Achane nor Jaylen Wright (leg) is healthy enough to play Sept. 7 against the Colts, rookie Ollie Gordon II would be in line to start at running back, ranking as a high-end RB3/FLEX in fantasy football.
Aug 25, 2025 11:25 PM EST
David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that there have been no setbacks for Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (calf), and head coach Mike McDaniel "will bring him back to practice in two weeks before the opener" in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Sept. 7. Achane was held out of practice all of last week with a calf injury, and he was also held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old may not do much on the field this week, either, but as long as he's able to practice at some point next week, he should be ready to roll for the season opener. Achane's injury situation is worth watching even closer going into the start of the season with backup Jaylen Wright (leg) not expected to be ready for Week 1. If Achane has a setback and can't go, it would be rookie Ollie Gordon II as Miami's lead back in Indy.
Aug 25, 2025 5:09 PM EST
According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, running back De'Von Achane hasn't had any setbacks regarding his recovery efforts. McDaniel added that he "looks forward" to getting Achane back at practice in the weeks heading into the opener versus the Indianapolis Colts. Jaylen Wright (leg) is considered "week-to-week," so fantasy managers may not see him on the field on September 7. Fortunately, it appears Achane has a good chance of playing. The 23-year-old finished the 2024 campaign with 907 yards off 203 carries. He also had 78 catches for 592 yards while totaling 12 touchdowns. If Achane is good to suit up against Indianapolis, he's a must-start in any fantasy format. If he's not cleared to play, Wright, assuming he's healthy, and Ollie Gordon II, who had eight touches for 43 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Jaguars, are the favorites to see more work.
