Bottom Line

Achane landed in Round 3 because of his game-breaking speed. That trait turned up routinely at Texas A&M.

But the question in Miami is simple: How much will a 188-pound frame limit his workload?

Miami re-signed Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson over the offseason, so it’s tough to anticipate big volume for the rookie.

Still, Achane’s dynamic ability – including in the receiving game – makes him an intriguing stash.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Achane broke out at Texas A&M as a 2021 sophomore (130-910 rushing; 24-261 receiving, plus 10 total scores).
  • In 2022, he was the only Power 5 player to score as a rusher, receiver, and return man. Versatility is a huge plus here.
  • He missed a pair of games in 2022 (foot). But the former track star still set personal bests in carries, yards, and receptions.
  • Achane tallied 18 runs of 15+ yards last year. That rate (1 every 10.8 rushes) topped that of Texas star Bijan Robinson (1 every 12.2 rushes).
  • Achane exits college with a big 6.4 yards per carry.
  • He caught 65 passes in college and profiles as one of the best receiving backs in the ‘23 class.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Miami used the 84th overall pick on Achane, despite holding only five total picks in the 2023 draft.
  • Post-draft, McDaniel lauded Achane’s speed and called him a strong fit. He was clearly a McDaniel pick, given his desire for speed.
  • The Dolphins retained Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson on 2-year deals. Both guys signed modest deals, though, with less than $2.7 million guaranteed.
  • That duo largely split carries last season. With Mostert at 31 and Wilson at 28 (in November), we’ve likely seen their best NFL work.
  • NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah comped Achane to Nyheim Hines, saying the 22-year-old (in October) is best on screens and draws.
  • Colleague Lance Zierlein comped Achane to former Jets scatback Leon Washington, cementing a belief from league observers that workloads won’t be heavy for the rookie.
  • Still, Achene landed in perhaps the best situation (for scheme + opportunity) alongside McDaniel. In his first season at the controls, the ‘22 Dolphins ranked 6th in yards per game; 2nd in yards per play.
  • Creative usage in the receiving game will be key. Achane’s size is one factor. But Miami also ranked 25th in run rate last year; 31st in total rushes.

De'Von Achane, RB MIA

5:35pm EDT 10/1/23

De'Von Achane stays hot

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.

Dynasty Write-up
Achane’s fantasy ceiling is likely limited by his stature (~5’8, 188 pounds). We simply haven’t seen many fantasy-relevant RBs at that size. Achane’s tape is strong, though, and his world-class speed is clear. We'd also call his landing spot strong for optimal utilization. 2022 showed how the Mike McDaniel offense will be built off catch-and-run opportunities.
