De'Von Achane News
Monday, August 10, 6:29 PM
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is set for a heavy workload in the 2026 season, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Hafley said, "[Achane] will never give a head tap. I said, don't worry, buddy." "After you touch the ball 40-45 times, I'm going to have to pick you up and carry you back to the locker room." In his third season, Achane had over 1,800 yards and 12 touchdowns on 305 attempts. With strong endorsement from his head coach, Achane may be in line for a larger workload in 2026. With defenses more focused on stopping Achane, he could be less inefficient than he's been over his three-year career. If his volume improves, he could threaten to be the RB1 overall this season.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Sunday, August 9, 9:51 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten continues to split first-team work with Chris Rodriguez Jr., with Sports Illustrated reporting that the two handled carries at roughly an even rate during Sunday's practice. Both backs had productive moments, which only adds to the uncertainty surrounding a backfield that has yet to produce a clear leader. Tuten scored seven total touchdowns as a rookie, but he finished with 307 rushing yards on 83 carries and caught only 10 passes for 79 yards. Rodriguez brings more proven rushing volume after posting 500 yards and six touchdowns on 112 carries for Washington last season. LeQuint Allen Jr. also remains part of the equation after serving as Jacksonville's primary third-down back as a rookie. Tuten still has a path to a larger second-year role following Travis Etienne Jr.'s departure, but Sunday's split is another reminder that Rodriguez is very much in the mix for early-down work.
