De'Von Achane News
Wednesday, May 27, 12:40 PM
Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) will be held out of full team drills in OTAs as he recovers from a shoulder injury, per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. Achane missed the final game of the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury that Hafley said "had to get cleaned up" over the offseason. While it does not seem as though Achane is in danger of missing time in 2026, it's still noteworthy that the 24-year-old appears to have undergone shoulder surgery since the end of the 2025 campaign. Achane was one of the best running backs in fantasy football last year, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. He remains a high-end fantasy RB1 heading into 2026, but managers should monitor news on his recovery over the course of the summer months.

Bucky Irving News
Tuesday, May 26, 3:57 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder) continues to recover from offseason surgery but is not expected to face many limitations during training camp. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the lead running back is not expected to participate in the upcoming min-camp but will "likely" be ready for training camp at some point. While this report does not suggest the former Oregon standout will enter camp with a clean bill of health, he is trending in the right direction. Last season, Irving had a disappointing sophomore season, appearing in just 10 games, and saw his production decline sharply after suffering this injury. Over his last six contests, he averaged a mere 11.2 PPR points per game, a stark decline from the 18.5 PPR points per game he averaged from Weeks 1 through 4. Managers should continue to monitor his status over the summer, but he should be at full strength come the start of the season. If his workload were to be limited, newly signed Kenneth Gainwell will likely take on RB1 duties.
