Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane becomes a risky RB2/high-end flex option if Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is unable to play this afternoon. Tagovailoa was initially listed as questionable but was then downgraded to doubtful on Saturday. Achane has been enjoying an impressive stretch of performances over his past six contests averaging a stellar 21.4 PPR points per game. Over this span he has seen 13.0 rushing attempts per game and brought in 5.7 receptions per game. However, when Tagovailoa missed time earlier this season with a concussion, Achane saw his production drop significantly. During Weeks 3 through 5, the sophomore back averaged a mere 5.8 PPR points per game. While redraft managers may not have a strong pivot, DFS players should consider fading Achane, especially at his hefty salary.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane looks to continue fantasy dominance in the championship week. The 23-year-old has been one of the most consistent running backs all season and is one of, if not the most essential piece in Miami's offense in 2024. Week 17 proposes a matchup with a Cleveland Browns defense that has been primarily stout against opposing running backs. They rank ninth in fantasy points, 12th in rushing yards, and third in receiving yards per game to the position. However, the conditions for this game are less than ideal, with a 50% chance of rain and projected wind gusts of 25+ mph at kickoff in Cleveland, Ohio. This should mean more opportunities for Achane to combat the harsh conditions. He should be started and considered a solid RB1 option, as usual. He comes in as the RB9 in the Week 16 RotoBaller rankings.

Dolphins' RB Devon Achane scored an astounding 31.00 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 16 win against the 49ers. Achane ran for 120 yards and caught six passes for 70 yards with one touchdown. It's the 4th time this season Achane scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 17 times for 120 yards and a touchdown and added six catches on seven targets for 70 yards in their 29-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. This is further evidence that he is a weekly surefire RB1 with his best-rushing production of the season and scoring his fifth touchdown in the last five games. This is the sixth game in a row where Achane has eclipsed 14 PPR fantasy points. The 23-year-old was able to carry the offense on a day when moving the ball through the air was hard to come by. With Miami needing to win the next two games to have a shot at the playoffs, Achane will almost certainly be a big part of the game plan. Miami will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 17.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane heads into Week 16 with five top 15 running back finishes in a row despite only averaging 36.8 rushing yards per contest. His receiving output and his knack for getting in the endzone have kept him a top-10 fantasy running back. He remains 34 receiving yards behind Alvin Kamara for the league lead by running backs. This week, he gets a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, who struggle at allowing fantasy points to running backs. They rank 21st in fantasy points and 30th in rushing touchdowns allowed per game. The 23-year-old should look to see plenty of targets with the injuries Miami is dealing with at the receiver position this week. He is a must-start top 10 play and is the RB8 in the RotoBaller weekly rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 12 times for 41 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 35 yards in the 20-12 Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. The Miami offense's struggles to run the ball effectively continue with only 52 total rushing yards. This is the first time he has not gotten into the endzone in four games. Despite the poor rushing totals, his receiving output again saved Achane's fantasy day. This marks the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has gone over 14+ PPR fantasy points. He once again paced the Miami backfield in touches by a wide margin and figures to continue that for the rest of the season. His next matchup will be back at home against the San Francisco 49ers.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of fantasy football's most consistent running backs in 2024. He scored 18+ PPR fantasy points in six of the last seven games and touchdowns in four straight. The 23-year-old also ranks second in receiving yards by a running back behind only Alvin Kamara. Week 15 presents a matchup against a Houston Texans defense that excels at stopping opposing running backs. They rank eighth in rushing yards, fourth in fantasy points, and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns allowed per game. They're also very good at defending running backs in the passing game, ranking fifth in receiving yards allowed per game to running backs. Despite this, he remains a solid RB1 and should continue to see the bulk of the touches in the Miami backfield. His red zone presence makes him an easy start for Week 15. He comes in as RotoBallers RB5 in this week's rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 14 times for 24 yards and a touchdown in their 32-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets. He also added six receptions on seven targets for 45 yards. This is the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has found the end zone and scored at least 15-plus PPR fantasy points. The touchdown came from two yards out on the opening drive to give Miami an early 7-0 lead. While the rushing totals have not been great recently, he has proven time and time again that he doesn't need the ball a ton to produce. His role is as safe as almost any other back in the NFL, with Miami having no more margin for error for the rest of the season. Next on the schedule is a matchup with the Houston Texans in Week 15.

He also caught eight of his nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown. Achane once again scored 20-plus PPR fantasy points for the third straight game and the fifth time in the last six games. All the other Dolphins running backs are taking a back seat to Achane instead of being a backfield by committee as it was in 2023. While the rushing numbers weren't impressive, Achane's value in the passing game and red zone usage keep him in the RB1 realm. Week 14 presents a tough matchup against the New York Jets at home.

Both touchdowns came through the air from 11 and nine yards out. Once again, it was a game where Achane scored 20 PPR points. He has done this now four times in his last five outings. The carries and yardage totals suffered from the game script as Miami threw the ball 40 times, the most attempts they've had in the last five games. Achane continues to be involved in the receiving department, ranking second in receptions and third in receiving yards by running backs. Achane and the Dolphins offense look to keep it rolling in Week 13 when they travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night.

This week, he gets a matchup against a New England Patriots defense that ranks 23rd in PPR points allowed to running backs per game. Miami must win this game, and Achane has been the hot handout of the backfield. Expect his usual workhorse role; start him as a safe floor RB1 with a very high upside. He checks into Week 12 as RotoBallers RB3 in the weekly rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has an excellent opportunity for a good showing in his Week 11 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Last week against the Los Angeles Rams was somewhat of a letdown compared to the previous two outings. The Raiders defense has been torched by running backs all year, ranking 26th in fantasy points per game allowed, allowing 104.1 rushing yards a game, and is eighth-worst in red zone points per game to running backs. According to Pro Football Focus, the Raiders have faced the seventh-highest rate of running back targets, and Achane is one of the best-receiving backs in the league. Achane is primed for an RB1 workload; he's a surefire start in every lineup. He comes in as RotoBaller's RB4 in the Week 11 RB rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 12 times for 37 yards and caught all five of his targets for 15 yards in Monday's 23-15 win over the Los Angeles Rams. It was disappointing from his two best performances of the season in Weeks 8 and 9. The Rams' defensive line was constantly in the backfield and allowed little to no room to run. The run blocking could be a concern as the Miami offensive line is dealing with a multitude of injuries. The latest was tackle Austin Jackson (knee) landing on IR before the game. One positive was that he out-touched all other Miami running backs 17 to 7. It looks as though Raheem Mostert's fumbling troubles are starting to affect his snaps and touches. Achane will look to return to RB1 form next week at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has looked like the RB1 everyone hoped when they drafted him since the return of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). In the last two games, he's averaging 29.4 fantasy points per game and has three touchdowns. Achane and the Dolphins now travel to Los Angeles on Monday night to take on the Rams. The Los Angeles defense ranks 16th in fantasy points per game to running backs. Achane looks to pace the Miami backfield again in touches, with Raheem Mostert continuing to have fumble issues. His continued involvement in the passing game also gives him a safe floor. With the offensive line looking much better, he should have plenty of room to run once again. Achane comes in as RotoBallers RB6 in this week's rankings and should be started in all league formats.

Miami's RB Devon Achane scored an impressive 32.10 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 9 loss in Buffalo. Achane ran for 63 yards and caught eight passes for 58 yards with two touchdowns. It's the 3rd time this season Achane scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 12 times for 63 yards and a rushing touchdown while adding eight receptions for 58 yards and a receiving touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Achane took advantage of a soft Buffalo Bills rush defense and topped his previous best outing of the season in Week 8. The Miami offensive line looked much better than in previous weeks and gave the 23-year-old plenty of room to run. A fumble by Raheem Mostert allowed Achane to get even more touches. Mostert has had trouble holding onto the ball since he's returned, causing head coach Mike McDaniels to keep him on the sidelines periodically. Achane will look to build on Sunday's performance as the Dolphins will face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is coming off his most impressive performance of 2024. The second-year back recorded 97 rushing yards on ten carries and caught six receptions on eight targets for 50 yards and a receiving touchdown. Now he gets a matchup against a Buffalo Bills defense that has allowed the second most fantasy points per game to running backs in PPR formats. Further supporting his case is his career average of 84.3 rushing yards and 31 receiving yards against his division rival. Temperatures are projected to drop into the 30s in Orchard Park on Sunday, which would likely mean the Dolphins try to run the ball heavily. With the offense now fully healthy, there should be plenty of soft boxes and room to run. He should be started in all fantasy lineups and comes into Week 9 as RotoBaller's 12th-ranked running back.
