Despite Falling Draft Cost, De'Von Achane Still a Top-Five Talent

Sunday, July 19, 8:52 AM

With little expected of the Miami Dolphins offense in 2026, Pro Bowl running back De'Von Achane has fallen to RB10 by current ADP, making him a potential bargain in the opening rounds of drafts. While the offensive exodus from Miami looks bad on paper, it's important to remember that this was a bottom-eight unit in 2025 in terms of both yardage and points scored, and Achane still turned in the most consistent fantasy season of any running back in the league. As the only back to score double-digit points in every game of the fantasy season, he finished the year as the RB5, and with Malik Washington and tight end Greg Dulcich the most accomplished pass catchers behind him on the roster, Achane could easily lead the team in targets in 2026. While there is obvious risk in counting on a 191-pound back to string together his third straight healthy season, especially considering the workload he's projected to carry, the upside case could see him crack the top five once more, which is tremendous value for a player that robust drafters could potentially land as their second running back.

History Suggests Jeremiyah Love Could Be a Top Fantasy Finisher as a Rookie

Saturday, July 18, 5:39 AM

Rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has been the unquestioned fantasy darling of the 2026 draft class for months, and with the Arizona Cardinals making him the third overall pick in the NFL Draft, he finds himself in excellent company when projecting his fantasy impact. Love is the ninth running back since 2015 to earn top-12 draft capital, and all have proven capable of overcoming the situations that tend to surround teams picking that early. The average rookie season among those eight players has amounted to 1,474 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns, with none of them failing to top 1,000 yards and Ashton Jeanty's RB13 finish last season making him the first of the group to finish outside of RB1 territory, albeit barely. An athletic marvel able to win with both speed and power, Love should earn a major role almost immediately, with his workload only increasing throughout the year, and with history on his side, he has a strong possibility of outperforming his current ADP of RB12.
