Week 3 Quick Reads: Off the Achane

Here’s a special delayed Quick Reads for Week 3, since I was off yesterday for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Just going to run the table of the best and worst DYAR with a couple of comments:

As of now, De’Von Achane has the No. 4 best rookie running back game in DYAR history. Subject to change as opponent adjustments develop, of course. The top three: Joseph Addai in 2006 Week 12 vs. Eagles, Corey Dillon in 1997 Week 15 vs. Titans, and Eric Dickerson in 1983 Week 5 vs. Lions.

This was the first game in history where two running backs on the same team had at least 80 DYAR in the same game.

Sam Howell‘s terrible game against Buffalo is currently the No. 18 worst quarterback game by DYAR but that will definitely change as the opponent adjustments develop.

Remember, still no opponent adjustments until next week.
