Who Should I Start? Antonio Gibson or Devon Achane

Thursday, September 7, 3:10 PM

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson could be an interesting play in Week 1. Washington has an advantageous matchup ahead against the lackluster Arizona Cardinals, and it could lead to a more run-centric game plan. Gibson's usage has been a bit of a disappointment in the past, but he could see an evolved workload within Eric Bieniemy's offense. With a positive game script surely on the horizon, Gibson is in play as a solid flex option heading into Week 1.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane didn't do much in his first NFL game in the Sunday night win over the division-rival New England Patriots, even with backup Salvon Ahmed (groin) getting injured in the contest. Achane finished the 24-17 victory with just one carry for five yards while catching his only target for a four-yard gain. He played just 10 percent of the offensive snaps, which was behind Raheem Mostert (73%), Alec Ingold (60%) and Ahmed (19%). The 21-year-old didn't play in the season opener due to a shoulder injury, but he's healthy now and could see a bigger workload in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos if Ahmed is unable to suit up. Even then, Achane is nothing more than a deep-league handcuff for Mostert as he eases his way into Miami's backfield.
