De'Von Achane Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane scored twice in a Week 4 loss to Buffalo. In fact, Achane scored on his first two carries. He added 5 targets, tied for second-most and a 14.2% team share. On the ground, he led the way with 7 attempts – one more than Raheem Mostert. The takeaway here is that Achane continues to be used creatively, and it’s clear his speed will be a weekly part of the game plan. Fire him up as an RB2 for Sunday’s matchup vs. the Giants.

Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. He figures to be the No. 3 RB behind Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane "has earned an increased workload," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. A 233-yard, four-TD performance should certainly earn a bigger role. Schefter adds that Miami "is expected to try to use him more" vs. the Bills today. We'll see exactly what the split between Achane and RB Raheem Mostert looks like, but the rookie would be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups after the huge Week 3.

Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. If he returns for that one, it’ll be as the No. 2 RB behind Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert enjoyed a career day against the Broncos. Seeing 20 touches — including a career-high 7 catches — Mostert rolled up 142 total yards and 4 scores. He became the fifth RB in league history with more than one career game of four scores. Denver’s defense essentially didn’t show up in this one, as Miami’s O-line consistently opened up huge holes. The Fins raced out to a big lead and wound up winning 70-20. Devon Achane enjoyed a massive day, too, taking 18 carries for 203 yards and 3 scores, looking explosive in the process. Miami will face a much stiffer test Sunday at Buffalo, but Mostert will remain a strong fantasy option.

Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. We’ll see how big a role rookie RB De’Von Achane plays, but RB Raheem Mostert figures to handle the majority of the work.

Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed (groin) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He returned to a limited practice on Friday but isn’t expected to play on Sunday. Ahmed’s absence will leave De’Von Achane as Miami’s No. 2 back and lock Raheem Mostert into a big workload.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert racked up 121 rushing yards, including a 43-yard TD, on 18 carries in Week 2 vs. the Patriots. The ageless wonder also added 6 receiving yards on his lone target in the victory. Teammate Salvon Ahmed contributed 6 touches of his own before a groin injury took him out of the contest, though this backfield was more or less the Mostert Show for the second game in a row. It’s worth mentioning that rookie De’Von Achane made his debut on Sunday night, though he only received a couple of touches. Mostert will look to continue his success in Week 3 vs. the Broncos.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is active for tonight's game vs. the Patriots. It's the rookie's regular-season debut after being scratched for the opener. Achane can't be trusted in season-long lineups but is an interesting flier in one-game DFS tournament contests.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Chargers. The rookie has some work to do to earn a role in this offense. Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed will handle backfield duties for Miami today.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is not expected to play vs. the Chargers today. The rookie wasn't listed on the final injury report but has "some rust" after missing time in August with a shoulder injury, per Pelissero. Achane remains worth stashing on fantasy benches but is unlikely to be a viable fantasy starter for at least another few weeks. Raheem Mostert figures to handle the majority of RB touches for Miami today. Salvon Ahmed will be the No. 2 RB.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll make his regular-season debut vs. the Chargers on Sunday. Miami could certainly use Achane with RB Jeff Wilson on IR, but the rookie would be a desperation fantasy play after getting 0 first-team snaps this preseason.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. That puts him in line to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Chargers. The rookie played zero first-team snaps with the starters this preseason, though, so it's tough to imagine him playing a big role on Sunday. Achane is more bench stash than Week 1 fantasy play.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) practiced without a non-contact jersey on Monday, according to The Miami Herald's Daniel Oyefusi. That puts the rookie on track to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Chargers. Achane got zero first-team snaps in the preseason and can't be trusted in Week 1 fantasy lineups. But it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up getting significant playing time on Sunday with RB Jeff Wilson out. Miami only has Achane, Salvon Ahmed, and Chris Brooks behind lead back Raheem Mostert.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Thursday that RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) should be able to participate in next week's prep work for the opener vs. the Chargers. But McDaniel stopped short of saying that the rookie will be able to play in that game. Achane is back on the practice field but is wearing a non-contact jersey. It at least sounds like he's getting close to a full return. Achane's availability has taken on increased importance with RB Jeff Wilson's trip to IR.

The Dolphins surprisingly put RB Jeff Wilson Jr. on IR Thursday. That means he'll miss at least the first four games. We had seen no indication of a significant injury to Wilson. He missed Wednesday's practice with an undisclosed issue but had otherwise only missed scant early-August time with a minor left-leg injury. This designation leaves Raheem Mostert and Chris Brooks as the only healthy RBs on the roster, and Mostert likely the clear backfield leader for Week 1 against the Chargers. De'Von Achane (shoulder) and Salvon Ahmed (concussion) worked on the side Wednesday, which could mean they have a chance to be ready for Week 1. We'll look for more on Wilson's situation and outlook. He remains stashable, though he's probably more of an early-season waiver option in most leagues now than a draft target.
