De'Von Achane Sits Out of Saturday's Preseason Contest

Saturday, August 22, 7:15 PM

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane and quarterback Malik Willis were both in street clothes for the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the New York Giants, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. In the 26-3 loss to the G-Men, Jaylen Wright led Miami with six carries, but he gained just nine yards on the ground, while Ollie Gordon II had four carries for only eight yards. Cam Miller led the team in rushing with 18 yards on his two carries. The 24-year-old Achane was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, and he also recorded his first 1,000-yard rushing season. Achane had 1,350 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 238 carries while adding 67 receptions (85 targets) for 488 yards and another four TDs as a pass-catcher in 16 starts to finish as the RB6 in half-PPR scoring. He led the league with 5.7 yards per carry, and although volume should not be a problem in 2026, his efficiency could be in an offense expected to struggle with little aerial help for Willis. RotoBaller has Achane ranked as the No. 12 overall fantasy RB as he enters his fourth year in the NFL.

TreVeyon Henderson's Status Uncertain After Monday Exit

Tuesday, August 25, 10:29 AM

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson is unlikely to practice Tuesday after leaving Monday's session early. Executive vice president Eliot Wolf told Doug Kyed that the Patriots are still "working through that situation." Henderson appeared to hurt his right foot or ankle after slipping while trying to make a cut Monday, then went inside after being checked by the training staff and did not return. The second-year back is coming off a strong rookie season, rushing 180 times for 911 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He also caught 35 passes for 221 yards and another score. New England hasn't put a timetable on Henderson's absence, so there isn't enough here yet to make assumptions about Week 1. For now, his status bears watching after an early exit followed by another expected day off the field.
