De'Von Achane Considered One of "Three Pillars" of Dolphins Rebuild

Monday, March 30, 6:42 PM

Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan called running back De'Von Achane one of the "three pillars" as a player he wants to build around and lock in on a contract extension, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Sullivan went on to say at the NFL owners meetings that he's not looking to trade Achane. Rumors circulated that Achane might be on the move this offseason after the new front office already cut both quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and traded Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Achane, 24, apparently isn't going anywhere and will be part of the rebuild in South Beach. The former third-rounder in 2023 out of Texas A&M is one of the most explosive dual-threat backs in the NFL, and volume certainly won't be an issue as the only real reliable offensive threat for new quarterback Malik Willis. Achane is coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season with 12 total touchdowns. He's a clear RB1 on volume alone, but his ceiling could be limited in what figures to be an inconsistent Miami offense.

Chase Brown News

Chase Brown Profiles as a High-End Dynasty Running Back Heading into 2026

Friday, March 20, 9:11 AM

After a slow start to the 2025 season, Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown heated up in the second half and posted another year of quality production. Across 17 games, the 25-year-old recorded 1,456 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns on 301 touches. Like the rest of the Bengals' offense, some of Brown's success is tied to the health of Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow. After Burrow's Week 13 return from the toe injury that cost him nine games, Brown hauled in 25 receptions on 26 targets, including three touchdown grabs. Heading into 2026, Brown appears poised to dominate backfield touches in Cincinnati again, and Burrow should be entering the year fully healthy. Brown's combination of age, role in an elite offense, and ability to rack up fantasy points as both a rusher and receiver makes him a high-end running back option in dynasty formats.
