De'Von Achane Remains a High-End Dynasty RB Despite Offensive Uncertainty

Friday, June 26, 12:46 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) put together an all-world season in 2025, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. Even with the rest of the Miami offense crumbling around him, Achane led the NFL in yards per carry (5.7) and recorded 67 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns on 85 targets. The Dolphins overhauled their coaching staff, quarterback room, and wide receiver room over the offseason, leading to speculation that Achane might have been on the trade block. Instead, Miami inked Achane to a four-year contract extension, cementing him as one of the team's building blocks as it enters a new era. The 24-year-old is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Even with the uncertain offensive environment around him in Miami, Achane should be viewed as an elite running back option in dynasty formats.

Omarion Hampton News

Omarion Hampton Reminds Mike McDaniel of Terrell Davis

Wednesday, June 17, 6:55 PM

Los Angeles Chargers second-year running back Omarion Hampton said that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel told him he reminds him of Denver Broncos Hall of Fame RB Terrell Davis, according to Alex Insdorf. The Bolts took the 23-year-old with the 22nd overall pick in last year's NFL draft out of the University of North Carolina. He was set up for a major role earlier than expected in L.A. when Najee Harris suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1, but then Hampton missed seven weeks with a fractured ankle, ultimately finishing with 545 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 124 carries (4.4 yards per carry) while adding 32 receptions for 192 yards and another score in nine regular-season games (six starts). Comparing Hampton to Davis is high praise from the new OC, but if healthy, Hampton has clear Year 2 breakout potential. With better health, an improved Chargers' offensive line, and more usage in McDaniel's system, Hampton has obvious RB1 upside going into his sophomore campaign. RotoBaller has Hampton ranked as the No. 11 fantasy RB for the upcoming 2026 season.
