De'Von Achane Not Present for Start of Voluntary Workouts

Tuesday, April 7, 10:07 AM

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that running back De'Von Achane did not report to the first day of voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. "It's part of the business," Hafley said. Achane signed a four-year, $5.44 million contract with the team in May of 2023 after he was drafted in the third round that year out of Texas A&M. The 24-year-old was one of the few bright spots for the Dolphins on offense in 2025, and he finished as the RB6 in half-PPR scoring with 1,350 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 16 games while adding 67 receptions for 488 yards and four touchdowns as a receiver. Achane is an explosive dual-threat back who has had at least six rushing TDs in each of his first three years in the league. The Dolphins have been adamant that he's part of their future and won't be traded. Achane has a high floor as an RB1 in fantasy, but his value will be volume-based in an offense that will likely struggle for efficiency with both receivers Tyreek Hill (knee) and Jaylen Waddle gone.

Jaylen Wright News

Jaylen Wright's Role Could Be Secure for Foreseeable Future

Thursday, April 2, 4:24 PM

Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright finished 2025 with 70 carries, trailing only De'Von Achane in Miami's running back room despite missing seven games. With the Dolphins clearing house on the offensive side of the ball and all but declaring 2026 to be a rebuilding year, running back would seem to be a low-priority position for them in the upcoming NFL Draft. Ollie Gordon II will have his own role in keeping Achane fresh, especially with Miami likely to face an influx of loaded boxes, but he was inefficient as a rookie, and Wright is more adept at handling some of the vacated targets in the passing game. While Miami's offense is unlikely to produce multiple fantasy contributors in 2026, Wright still maintains some dynasty value as the more direct handcuff to Achane.
