Who Should I Start? De'Von Achane or Kaleb Johnson

Friday, December 5, 6:54 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the top running backs in the NFL over the last few weeks, and he's a great play this week against the Jets. Achane has at least 120 rushing yards to power the Dolphins to three straight wins in his last three games against the Bills, Commanders, and Saints. He finished with 134 rushing yards and a touchdown last week against the Saints, and is averaging 86.2 rushing yards and 30.8 receiving yards per game on the season with 10 total touchdowns. The Jets have been the sixth-best matchup for running backs this season, and last week, the Falcons running backs totaled 162 rushing yards, 86 receiving yards, and two touchdowns against New York. In such a great matchup with plenty of momentum and a large expected workload, Achane is the No. 1 RB in the entire NFL in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar for this weekend's clash with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The former third-round pick has had a quiet rookie season, amassing 58 yards on 22 carries across seven appearances. At the beginning of the campaign, Johnson appeared to be on his way to playing a sizable snap share in a backfield ripe for the taking. That didn't come to fruition, though, as teammates Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell have formed a formidable duo for the Steelers. Furthermore, opportunities in Pittsburgh are hard to come by, considering the team boasts the third-slowest pace of play (56.7 plays per game). As it stands, the University of Iowa alum is a talented athlete, but his path to playing time -- at least in 2025 -- is less clear than we'd like for fantasy. Either way, he's still a nice stash in dynasty leagues.
