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

Wednesday, September 17, 6:39 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the few bright spots for the Dolphins this season, maintaining his status as a top running back play in fantasy despite his offense's struggles. This week, he is the RB9 in the RotoBaller Week 3 rankings as he takes on the Bills on Thursday Night Football. Achane hasn't been very productive on the ground this season, totaling only 85 rushing yards on 18 carries in his first two games, but he has made up for that with his work as a receiver. He has caught a total of 11 passes for 112 yards in his two games this season, finding his way to the end zone as a receiver in each contest. Whether the Dolphins play from ahead or have to go pass-heavy playing from behind, Achane should remain very involved and is a safe play with a high ceiling against the Bills as the Dolphins look to avoid slipping to 0-3.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson has been removed from the injury report and is set to make his 2025 debut in Week 2. Johnson returned to practice late last week after being sidelined with a foot injury since early August. The Bears struggled to establish the run in Week 1, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams leading the team in rushing. D'Andre Swift operated as the clear workhorse, logging 81% of the snaps and handling 22 of Chicago's 23 running back touches. Johnson now enters a brutal matchup against the Detroit Lions, who allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to opposing backs in 2024. With uncertainty surrounding his health, role, and workload, Johnson is best left on fantasy benches for now.
