De'Von Achane - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Stymied in Week 4 loss Achane rushed 10 times for 15 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Impact Achane's forgettable numbers were essentially a microcosm of the type of night it was for the Dolphins' offense as a whole. The speedy back had a long run of only five yards and was repeatedly stymied, and both his rushing and receiving yardage totals were season lows. Achane logged just one more carry than rookie backfield mate Jaylen Wright, who played more than expected due to Raheem Mostert's (chest) inactive status and the fact Jeff Wilson suffered a knee injury in pregame warmups. Achane does have a favorable Week 5 matchup against the equally hapless Patriots on Sunday, but with Miami's quarterback situation also shaky irrespective of who's under center, it remains to be seen if he'll have enough running room to contribute meaningful numbers.

Held in check in Week 3 loss Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and secured three of five targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 32 yards.

Impact Achane once again served as the lead back with Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the latter was knocked from the game with a chest injury. Achane will look for better results alongside whoever he shares the backfield with in a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Impact Achane once again served as the lead back due to Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the former was knocked out of the contest with a rib injury. Achane will look for better results alongside whomever he shares the backfield with in a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Bright spot in disappointing loss Achane rushed 22 times for 96 yards and secured all seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Impact Achane was the biggest part of the Dolphins' offense on a troublesome night overall that saw Tua Tagovailoa exit with a concussion late in the third quarter. Miami struggled to move the ball all night even when Tagovailoa was in the contest, with the notable exception of the majority of times it was in Achane's hands. The explosive second-year pro scored his team's only touchdown on a five-yard reception in the first quarter, and he handled a career-high 22-carry workload well in the absence of Raheem Mostert (chest). Achane also has encouragingly drawn 14 targets over the first two games and caught all of them while averaging 10.4 yards per grab. Irrespective of who's under center, the heavy usage should continue for arguably the Dolphins' best all-around offensive player in a Week 3 road matchup versus the Seahawks on Sept. 22.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suits up Thursday Achane (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

Impact Achane, who was listed as a non-participant on the Dolphins' first two posted practice reports following the team's 20-17 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, was able return to the field for Wednesday's walk-through session and was deemed a limited participant. With his active status versus Buffalo confirmed and fellow RB Raheem Mostert (chest) inactive, Achane (who carried 10 times for 24 yards and a TD and had seven catches for 76 yards against Jacksonville) should have an opportunity to play a key role in Miami's Week 2 game plan in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks. Also in the team's backfield mix Thursday are Jeff Wilson and speedy fourth-round rookie Jaylen Wright, with both players likely to mix in as Achane works through his ankle issue.

Status hinges on pregame workout Achane (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bills, will have his availability determined based on how he fares in a pregame workout, Ian Rapoport...

Impact After logging 17 touches in the Dolphins' Week 1 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Achane was listed as a non-participant on Miami's first two practice reports released Monday and Tuesday. He returned to the field for Wednesday's walk-through practice, albeit as a limited participant. Head coach Mike McDaniel termed Achane as a game-time decision prior to the practice session, but Rapoport relays that Dolphins came away encouraged by how the running back looked Wednesday and have optimism that he plays. Official word on Achane's status -- one way or the other -- won't arrive until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Achane gets the green light to play, he should draw the start with Raheem Mostert (chest) already ruled out, though the Dolphins may not be keen on having Achane handle a heavy workload on a short week. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright are on hand as depth options in the backfield and are likely to take on elevated roles Thursday.

Officially questionable for TNF Achane is was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Marcel Louis-...

Impact Achane has managed to upgrade to limited participation after being listed as 'DNP' on Miami's first two injury reports of the week, and Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports that the second-year running back moved well at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media. Coach Mike McDaniel called Achane a game-time decision, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, so it sounds like his status could come down to the wire. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright look like strong candidates to handle increased backfield work Week 2, in any case. Official word on Achane's status will arrive at least 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Considered game-time decision Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Achane (ankle) is a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Bills and that Raheem Mostert (chest) is ruled out, Ian Rapoport o...

Impact McDaniel said "we'll see" with respect to Achane's availability for Week 2. The second-year pro has missed back-to-back practice this week, so much could hinge on how much activity he's able to handle during Wednesday's session. With Mostert ruled out, Achane could be in line to handle an expanded backfield role versus Buffalo, if he's cleared to play. Even if Achane suits up, veteran Jeff Wilson and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright will also be candidates to handle increased roles. If Achane can't go, however, Wilson and Wright will get an opportunity to lead Miami's backfield in primetime.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out walk-through practice Achane (ankle) was listed as a non-participant Tuesday in the Dolphins' walk-through practice, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact Miami has listed Achane as a non-participant in both of its first two Week 2 injury reports, though the team hasn't held a formal practice session following Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars. Achane carried 10 times for 24 yards and a touchdown to go with seven catches for 76 yards over his 35 snaps in the victory, so the Dolphins may be keen on building in some rest for him coming off the busy Week 1 performance. Head coach Mike McDaniel hasn't indicated that Achane's listed ankle issue is anything worrisome, though the second-year back may need to log some practice activity Wednesday to avoid taking a designation into Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as non-participant Achane (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to Raheem Mostert (chest), an indication that both of Miami's top backs came out of Week 1 action banged up. As a result, the duo's status will need to be monitored ahead of Thursday night's game against the Bills. If one or both players are limited or out for the contest, added snaps would be available for Jeff Wilson, while Jaylen Wright could be active Week 2 after being a healthy scratch in Sunday's season-opening win over the Jaguars.

Heavy work as receiver Sunday Achane rushed 10 times for 24 yards and a touchdown and secured all seven targets for 76 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Achane was the Dolphins' team leader in rush attempts, outpacing backfield mates Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson by four and five carries, respectively. However, while running room was at a premium as clearly indicated by Achane's final line, he put in highly productive work in the passing game and finished tied with Tyreek Hill for the team lead in receptions. Whether the division of labor in Miami's backfield was a harbinger of what's to come this season is impossible to determine after a one-game sample, but Achane's overall usage underscores how often head coach Mike McDaniel clearly wants the ball in the explosive second-year back's hands. Achane next takes aim at the Bills' defense in a Week 2 Thursday night clash.

Efficient showing in preseason win Achane rushed twice for 10 yards and secured two of three targets for 34 yards in the Dolphins' 13-6 preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday night.

Impact The second-year back took his first carry with 7:29 remaining in the first quarter and played a total of three possessions. Achane recorded chunk gains of seven yards on the ground and eight and 26 yards through the air, flashing the signature explosiveness that made him a rookie sensation in 2023. Achane already appears in regular-season form, but it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to garner a few more touches in Friday night's road preseason finale against the Buccaneers.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Mental strides entering Year 2 Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith praised Achane's improved "understanding of the offense" Thursday, saying "he's really made substantial growth," Adam Stites of USA Today...

Impact Achane said earlier this offseason that he's added muscle and improved his route running, and it appears that he's made a substantial mental leap as well. Even in a crowded backfield that also houses Raheem Mostert, rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright and veteran Jeff Wilson, it's difficult to ignore Achane's positive offseason momentum, especially coming off a rookie campaign in which he averaged 7.8 YPC on 103 carries, including four games with over 100 rushing yards. If Achane is able to maintain similar efficiency while both staying healthy and retaining a large workload, he'll have a clear path to superstardom and elite fantasy production, and thus far it appears he's put himself in prime position to make good on that potential. Of course, Achane's small frame remains a concern despite added muscle, especially after he missed he missed five games and most of a sixth due to injury as a rookie. Still, if his building offseason drumbeat is to be believed, Achane's explosiveness, improvement as a receiver, and upgraded mental game could be enough for consistent high-end production, even without a true workhorse role.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane named Rookie of the Year finalist, and fans can vote for him The blazing-fast Miami running back is one of six players that are up for the NFL’s Rookie of the Year.

Hits pay dirt sans No. 1 RB Achane rushed 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Regular starter Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) missed his second game in as many weeks due to multiple lower-body injuries, which opened the door for Achane to continue operating as Miami's lead back while also scoring the team's lone rushing touchdown Sunday. The explosive rookie unfathomably neared 1,000 combined yards from scrimmage (936) while scoring 10 total touchdowns despite spending a good portion of his 10 active games operating in a change-of pace role behind Mostert. Achane was already an exciting prospect in fantasy, but he could really put his name out there with a couple of big runs on the national stage against the Chiefs when the playoffs begin Saturday.

JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive in ugly loss Achane rushed 14 times for 107 yards and secured four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 56-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact Achane led the Dolphins in rushing yards in the absence of Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), outpacing backfield mate Jeff Wilson by 11 carries. The rookie also enjoyed a solid role in the passing game on the way to his fifth game with over 100 scrimmage yards. Achane could be poised for a critical role, whether or not Mostert is available, in Sunday's Week 18 home showdown with the Bills that will decide the AFC East title

JANUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets green light for Sunday Achane (toe) doesn't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Achane never took part in a full practice this week, but the Dolphins evidently came away encouraged enough from what they saw from the rookie in limited sessions Thursday and Friday to clear him for Sunday's contest. Since returning to action Week 13 following a one-game absence due to a knee issue, Achane hasn't played more than 59 percent of snaps in any of the ensuing three contests, but he's still produced 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries (4.6 average) to go with 11 catches for 84 yards during that stretch. Even though Raheem Mostert remains Option 1A out of the Miami backfield, the explosive Achane still sees enough touches to make for a high-upside weekly fantasy play.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outplayed by Mostert again in win Achane (toe) rushed nine times for 32 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets.

Impact Achane ceded goal-line opportunities to Raheem Mostert, who scored twice to raise his season rushing touchdown total to 18. Mostert had just 43 scrimmage yards on 17 touches, so neither speedy running back broke off many big plays. Achane's longest gain came on a 13-yard catch, though he also had a key play on the ground, converting on fourth-and-2 with a four-yard carry on the final play of the third quarter. Mostert has settled in as the top option in Miami's backfield heading into a Week 16 home game against the Cowboys, but Achane has handled a substantial complementary role when available.

Dolphins' Tyreek Hill out against Jets with ankle injury

Suits up Sunday Achane (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Achane approached the contest listed as questionable, after having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, before working in a limited fashion Friday. Now that the dynamic rookie's active status has been confirmed, Achane will be available to continue to work in tandem with fellow RB Raheem Mostert. Even in a context in which the two work in some form of a time-share, Achane has enough playmaking ability to yield fantasy dividends in Week 15, assuming no in-game limitations or setbacks.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Achane (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after logging a limited practice Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Impact After having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, Achane was able to work in a limited fashion Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend. Ideally added context regarding Achane's Week 15 status will arrive as Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff approaches, but if he ends up out or limited versus New York, Jeff Wilson would be in line to log added backfield work behind Raheem Mostert (knee).

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to face Jets Achane (knee) isn't expected to play Friday against the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Achane is officially listed as questionable by the Dolphins, but Pelissero indicates that the running back is trending toward missing Friday's 3 p.m. ET contest. If that is indeed the case, Raheem Mostert would be in line to lead Miami's Week 12 backfield, with Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans also available to mix in.

NOVEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Achane (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Jets, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, Achane remained listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, and with the official 'questionable' listing, the rookie running back's status for Friday's 3:00 pm ET kickoff is uncertain. If Achane is unavailable for the contest, Jeff Wilson and Darrynton Evans would be candidates to log complementary snaps behind Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), who doesn't carry a Week 12 injury designation.
