De'VonAchane

News: 21 hours agoAchane took 17 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown while corralling six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.

Spin: Achane took full advantage of San Francisco's porous rush defense en route to his first 100-plus yard rushing game of the season. In addition to his gaudy rushing total, the explosive back also led the Dolphins in receiving yardage Sunday. Achane had failed to eclipse the 4.0 yards per carry barometer of success for rushers in each of his last four appearances, but he absolutely crushed that mark with a 7.1 yard average against the 49ers. Backup Raheem Mostert remained involved with 10 touches, but it's Achane that fantasy managers should prefer out of Miami's backfield heading into next Sunday's tilt against Cleveland.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: What will Achane do as an encore to his impressive rookie season? He led the league in yards per carry (7.8), among those with a minimum of 100 attempts. The Dolphins were one of the league's most dynamic offenses last season, ranking third in total yards and points per game under head coach and playcaller Mike McDaniel. Expect more of the same in 2024. One red flag with Achane is his durability, as he missed six games last season. However, he remains lethal with the football in his hands, averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game despite only 12.0 touches per game. Those rates scream regression candidate, but that should be offset by a boost in volume in Year 2. Achane will split touches with Raheem Mostert, but he can be drafted as an excellent, high-end flex option with tremendous upside.
