Weekly Writeup
Achane's rush efficiency has dipped in recent weeks, as he's relied on TDs to deliver in fantasy. He enters the Green Bay matchup likely to deliver as a pass-catcher, while the rushing matchup looks neutral. The Packers sit 15th in rush defense DVOA; 24th in PFF’s rush defense grade.

Bottom Line

You’re not drafting Achane expecting 2023-level efficiency.

But is there some room for him to jump up to ~15 touches per game?

After adding weight this offseason – our answer is yes.

It’ll come down to health for Achane, who’ll need to prove his new frame can hold up. He ultimately profiles as a volatile RB1.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Achane became one of the best picks in 2023 fantasy drafts.
    • Across 11 appearances, he finished as a top-8 PPR back five times.
  • He posted unbelievable efficiency marks.
    • Among 50 RBs with 100+ carries, the rookie ranked first in yards per carry (7.77), first in EPA per rush (0.32), and T-first in yards after contact per attempt (3.29).
    • He scored 11 total TDs, with two coming from 65+ yards out.
    • Achane broke 10 tackles on 31 receptions, scoring 3 times. He lined up all over the formation, helping him average a huge 9.5 yards after catch per reception.
  • That efficiency was key, as Achane generally played a 1B role alongside Raheem Mostert.
    • Mostert handled 13.9 carries per game; 10.2 for Achane.
  • Better health would have led to an even bigger season.
    • Achane made his NFL debut in Week 2 due to an August shoulder sprain.
    • Come Week 5, he sustained a knee injury that forced an IR stint.
    • Returning in Week 11, Achane banged the same knee and missed one more game. (Miami played on a short week, which likely played a role.)
    • Achane dealt with toe and rib injuries moving forward.

What to Expect in 2024

  • The Dolphins used a Round 4 pick on speed back Jaylen Wright.
    • He’s likely to slot in as the RB3. The rookie isn’t expected to impact Achane right away.
  • Raheem Mostert returns for his age-32 season.
    • Despite the advanced age, Mostert’s missed only three games over the past two seasons.
    • He signed a contract extension in March and will remain a major part of the backfield rotation.
  • HC Mike McDaniel commented on Achane adding muscle this offseason.
    • Said McDaniel: “[I’m] seeing some strength gains and you can tell by his body he’s put some work into it…[he’s] just understanding everything about our offense so he can be as big a part of it as possible. That’s his goal.”
  • Miami’s offense retains key pieces around Achane in QB Tua Tagovailoa and WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
  • The O-line will demand attention, especially after losing stud G Robert Hunt.
    • Note: Miami ranked 8th in run block win rate last year.

Dynasty Write-up
Raheem Mostert led Miami's backfield in 2023. But Achane's 11 total TDs and nearly 1,000 total yards showed his potential in a high-octane, Mike McDaniel offense. Mostert is under contract for 2024, but Achane is here to stay as an impactful fantasy asset. Just note: With rookie speedster Jaylen Wright now in the mix, Achane's volatility figures to stick around.
