Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane handled 15 carries in the team's 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, churning out 77 yards. He added two receptions and eight yards on three targets. Achane ran well Sunday against a porous Colts D as the Dolphins deployed a run-heavy game plan, totaling just 26 pass attempts to their 40 rushing. It's another disappointing outing for the second-year back, as Miami has averaged just nine points a game on offense since Week 2. While his day wasn't very useful regarding fantasy production, he out-carried backfield mate Raheem Mostert by four and out-gained him by 27, while the veteran did not record a target in the passing game. The Fins will square off against the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 8.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) said he cleared the league's concussion protocol and is in line to play this Sunday in Week 7 versus the Indianapolis Colts. Achane practiced in full all week, so the writing was on the wall for him to be active this weekend after he suffered a concussion in the Week 5 game against the division-rival New England Patriots. The 23-year-old was fortunate to have a bye last week to rest up, and now he's ready to go as Miami's lead back against the Colts. He had only three carries against the Pats in Week 5 before being ruled out with his head injury. Achane and the rest of the Dolphins' offensive skill players will have lower fantasy ceilings and floors as long as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains out, but Achane should at least be in play as an RB2 in a good matchup in Indy this weekend.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is lined up for an intriguing outing against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year back practiced without a non-contact jersey in the team's Thursday practice, suggesting he's trending toward returning to action in Week 7 from the concussion sustained before the Week 6 bye. It's been a rough stretch for the 23-year-old, who has yet to eclipse nine fantasy points since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was forced from Miami's Week 2 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He'll get an excellent bounce-back opportunity this Sunday when they square off against the Colts. Indianapolis allows an average of 155.2 rush yards per game to opposing offenses and a solid 4.6 yards per attempt. Raheem Mostert ran well in his return to action in Week 5 (19 car./80 yds.), but he and rookie Jaylen Wright combined for 32 carries in the win, so Achane could be in for a sizeable workload on the ground if they run back their game plan from before the team's bye. The former Aggie is RotoBaller's PPR RB19 in this week's rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is practicing without a non-contact jersey on Thursday, suggesting he is logging a full practice. The second-year ball carrier out of Texas A&M practiced in full on Wednesday, so all signs are pointing toward him being available in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Achane has not scored more than 7.3 half-PPR fantasy points in any of the three games without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), and he exited the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots with a concussion. However, the Colts rank 31st in rushing yards allowed per game (155.2), so Achane can be slotted in as an RB2 or RB3 in fantasy for Week 7. That said, his ceiling and floor are limited until Tagovailoa comes back.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) logged a full practice on Wednesday. This is a great sign for the 23-year-old, who suffered a concussion during Week 5. The Dolphins had the week off in Week 6, which gave the sophomore running back more time to progress. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week as he has to complete all stages of the concussion protocol in order to return to action. If Achane can suit up, he should be locked into all fantasy lineups despite his slump over his past three games, where he has averaged just 5.8 PPR points per game. During the first two weeks of the campaign, Achane eclipsed over 20.0 PPR points and remains a high-upside running back given his rushing and receiving ability.
Oct 16, 2024 4:37 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is progressing through the league's concussion protocol "with all things positive." "We feel good where he's at," McDaniel said. During practice on Monday, Achane was seen on the field wearing a non-contact jersey. Things are looking up for the 23-year-old coming out of the bye week, but he's still up in the air to play in Week 7 versus the Indianapolis Colts and must receive clearance from an independent neurologist later in the week in order to play. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable to play. If Achane doesn't gain clearance to play on Sunday, expect the Dolphins to roll with some sort of timeshare with Raheem Mostert and rookie Jaylen Wright against the Colts.
Oct 16, 2024 1:25 PM EST
Per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) was back at practice on Monday following the team's Week 6 bye. He was listed as a limited participant and wore a red non-contact jersey. Despite the limited session, it's a significant milestone for Achane, who appears to be progressing well through the league's concussion protocol. He still has a hurdle to clear, but it's fantastic news for him and the Dolphins, who are still navigating a period without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). It's imperative to monitor his status over the coming days, but he evidently has a good shot at suiting up for a road tilt against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. If he's active, the 23-year-old is an intriguing play against a Colts defense that's allowed the most yards in the league opposing rushing attacks.
Oct 14, 2024 2:26 PM EST
According to Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is in the NFL's concussion protocol. The 22-year-old exited Sunday's contest against the New England Patriots early after taking an end around and colliding head-on with a Pats' defender. Achane had racked up 18 yards on his three carries before his exit and seemed to be in store for a big game. In his stead, running backs Raheem Mostert and rookie Jaylen Wright handled the majority of the backfield touches, with the veteran amassing six more carries but six fewer yards than the latter. That duo would likely lead the backfield again if Achane missed time. Fortunately, Miami is heading into their Week 6 bye, which will afford the second-year back an extended recovery period. He is probably able to clear protocol ahead of an enticing Week 7 road matchup against a sieve-like Indianapolis Colts defense, but this will be a situation for fantasy managers to monitor.
Oct 7, 2024 2:33 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) won't return to Sunday's matchup with the New England Patriots. He wasn't on the field long before suffering a concussion, so he'll finish the day with only three carries for 18 yards. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on the shelf, the Dolphins can't afford any more injuries on that side of the ball. With that in mind, Raheem Mostert (chest), who returned for Week 5 after missing the fins' previous three games, will likely handle the bulk of the carries out of the backfield for the remainder of contest.
Oct 6, 2024 1:52 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will have his work cut out for him this week when the team takes on the New England Patriots in Foxborough. The second-year back started the season off hot with back-to-back seven-catch games and 20+ fantasy-point outings. However, he's cooled over the last few weeks, with Miami posting just 15 total points combined over the two contests. New England has been one of the more stout defenses against opposing rushing attacks thus far, allowing just 4.0 YPC -- the seventh-best mark in the league. Despite this, the Texas A&M product could still leave his mark on this game if he can recapture his work in the passing game from early September. The Patriots' D has been easier to throw on this year, letting up the sixth-most yards and fourth-most yards per play (7.1) through the air, and that's likely where Miami will have to beat them to succeed. Achane is RotoBaller's PPR RB17 in this week's rankings and projects as an RB2 with upside.
Oct 4, 2024 10:27 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed ten times for 15 yards and brought in all three of his targets for an additional 14 yards in Monday night's 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Woof. The carries, targets, receptions, and yards were all season-low marks for Achane. He was out-gained on the ground by quarterback Tyler Huntley (40), wide receiver Tyreek Hill (19), and backfield mate Jaylen Wright (32), who all racked up fewer carries than the second-year RB. While Wright was more efficient with his work, he didn't receive his first touch until halfway through the second quarter. It's an outing to forget for the former Aggie, but fantasy managers have to be disappointed, as it's the second contest in a row in which he's failed to score more than single-digit fantasy points. The former third-round pick will have a better matchup his next time out when the team takes on the New England Patriots in Week 5. However, it's hard to trust him as anything more than an RB3 for the time being, with Miami's offense in a tailspin.
Oct 1, 2024 10:02 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will have his work cut out for him this Monday night when the team hosts the visiting Tennessee Titans. The second-year back opened the season on fire with two top-three finishes at the RB position but saw his work and efficiency tick down last weekend with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle manning the helm instead of an injured Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Head coach Mike McDaniel has yet to determine who his starting quarterback will be in Week 4, though it is believed that the newly acquired Tyler Huntley is in line for the start. The Dolphins' offense should get a boost with the mobile 26-year-old under center, but Achane and the entire offense will have a tough matchup against a strong Titans defense. If Tennessee can be beaten anywhere, it's on the ground -- and Miami will need to use its versatile 22-year-old back if they want to stand a chance to walk away with a victory. The Texas A&M product will need to be included in the passing attack if fantasy managers hope to have production similar to that of the season's first two weeks. Achane is RotoBaller's PPR RB11 in Week 4's rankings.
Sep 28, 2024 10:40 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards in the team's 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. He added 28 yards and three receptions on five targets. It was the 22-year-old's first outing this season without a touchdown and the fewest touches and total yardage for him in the young season. The Dolphins offense was stuck in neutral for most of the game, with neither Skylar Thompson (chest) nor Tim Boyle able to get any traction going against Seattle. Still, Achane saw the lion's share of the work out of the backfield, out-touching Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson Jr. 14-to-5. The former Aggie is one of the most dynamic backs in the NFL, but this offense does not have the same juice sans Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Miami will look to score its first touchdown in six quarters when they take on the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 4 on Monday night.
Sep 22, 2024 7:58 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane will be an RB1 in his Week 3 road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Expect him to rack up another significant touch total this Sunday, with the team turning to quarterback Skylar Thompson. Achane handled the rock 29 times last week, amassing 168 total yards and a receiving score as the offense's centerpiece in a 31-10 loss against the Bills. It's unlikely he challenges 30 touches weekly, but Miami could lean on its RBs moving forward with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) set to miss at least the next four games. For this week, at least, it appears they'll again be without veteran Raheem Mostert, so expect backups Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson Jr. to mix in for work behind the 22-year-old. The two handled seven total touches in Week 2. Achane is RotoBaller's PPR RB6 this week.
Sep 20, 2024 12:42 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed 22 times for 96 yards and scored in Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He had an additional 69 yards through the air, catching all seven of his targets. With Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined for the matchup, the second-year back received 29 touches as Mike McDaniel's clear lead-back. Achane played 62% of snaps and was largely effective despite Miami having trouble getting their offense on track against a Bills' team that looked like they had something to prove. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was forced to exit the game early after a scary-looking collision with defender Damar Hamlin. He's day-to-day for now, with Tagovailoa to undergo further testing to determine the severity of his injury. If he cannot go in Week 3, Skylar Thompson will suit up for Miami's first road game of the season against the Seattle Seahawks. Achane would tick down the rankings if that were the case, but would still be a strong play on the back of his athleticism and projected volume.
Sep 13, 2024 11:22 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ankle) is officially active for the Thursday night showdown against the division-rival Buffalo Bills after he entered the game with a questionable tag. On a short week early in the year, both Achane and Raheem Mostert (chest) missed two practices earlier this week and were up in the air to play against Buffalo. Mostert was ruled out on Wednesday, so Achane's already high fantasy ceiling just went up considerably against a Bills defense that is banged up and not as formidable as its been in recent years. The explosive and speedy second-year back is a must-start every week, especially so with Mostert sidelined. The 22-year-old had 10 carries for only 24 yards in a Week 1 win over the Jaguars, but he also scored a TD and caught seven passes for 76 yards. Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie Jaylen Wright will have roles as well with Mostert out, but Achane should be in all lineups.
Sep 12, 2024 7:07 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ankle) is officially questionable to face the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football, and he is being considered a game-time decision. However, there is optimism that he will suit up based on how he practiced yesterday and how he is feeling. The second-year pro out of Texas A&M missed practice on Monday and Tuesday with an ankle injury but returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should wait on official word regarding Achane's status, which will likely come out 90 minutes before kickoff when the team releases its official inactives report. If he's active, he's a must-start option in all formats, and Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jaylen Wright could see touches behind him with Raheem Mostert (chest) already being ruled out. If Achane is ruled out, both backup running backs are worth flex consideration in 12-team leagues.
Sep 12, 2024 10:19 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to face the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 after being limited on Wednesday. The second-year pro missed practice on Tuesday and Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Fantasy managers were hoping his lack of participation was for extra caution, but he's considered a game-time decision. 32-year-old running back Raheem Mostert (chest) has been ruled out with a chest injury, so rookie Jaylen Wright is likely to be active on Thursday. If Achane is active, he's a must-start option despite the risk of a potentially decreased role. Miami will only play him if the team believes he is healthy enough to go, and he's a threat to score a touchdown on any play. If he's out, Wright and Jeff Wilson Jr. are intriguing flex options with wide ranges of outcomes. Both would have upside, but it's tough to know how Mike McDaniel would distribute touches.
Sep 11, 2024 2:38 PM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. The second-year speedster is dealing with an ankle injury and did not practice on Monday or Tuesday. Veteran running back Raheem Mostert (chest) has already been ruled out. Fantasy managers should pay close attention up until Thursday, as we may not know if Achane will play or not until the team releases its official inactive report 90 minutes before kickoff on Thursday. If Achane is active, he's a risky starter, but the upside outweighs the risk. If he's out, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jaylen Wright are both intriguing RB3 or flex options. Check your waiver wire now for Wilson Jr. or Wright. Wilson Jr. is likely the "safer" option, but Wright has more upside moving forward.
Sep 11, 2024 11:18 AM EST
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed 10 times for 25 yards and one touchdown in their 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also hauled in all seven of his targets for 75 yards. The Dolphins run game couldn't get much going against a tough Jags' front seven that allowed a long gain of just 14 on the ground to backup Jeff Wilson Jr. However, it was a busy game for Achane, as he led all Miami rushers in carries and was second on the team behind Tyreek Hill with his seven targets. It's an encouraging outing for the second-year speedster, as he out-carried and out-targeted his running mate Raheem Mostert by four and out-gained him 100-19 in total yardage. The Texas A&M product's highlight of the day came on Miami's first drive when Tua Tagovailoa hit him on a swing pass to the right side of the field. Achane followed his blocks perfectly, bobbing, weaving, and breaking tackles en route to a 39-yard gain. It will be a short week of rest for him and the Dolphins, as they are slated to take on the Buffalo Bills this coming Thursday on Thursday Night Football.
