Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed two times for ten yards in Saturday's 13-6 win over the Washington Commanders. He added two receptions and 34 yards through the air on three targets. Achane was the second back behind veteran starter Raheem Mostert and played into the second quarter with Skylar Thompson and the backups. There was little run on the ground for the second-year RB in this one, though he did have some work in the passing game. The Texas A&M alum motioned out of the backfield and lined up outside right early in the second quarter. He went streaking down the sideline, and Thompson hit him up the seam to gain 26 yards. It's encouraging to see Mike McDaniel use him in various ways, as he has yet to dethrone Mostert as the lead back. It may come to fruition this season, but the speedster doesn't need a workhorse role to impact the field and fantasy lineups. We will see if Achane suits up next Friday when the Dolphins take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's off the board as the RB11 via Yahoo! in fantasy drafts thus far and would offer top-five fantasy upside if the 32-year-old Mostert were to miss any time.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed all five of his passes for 51 yards and one touchdown in Saturday night's 13-6 victory against the Washington Commanders. It is unclear whether head coach Mike McDaniel intended to play his starters for a drive or a quarter on Saturday, but they were the same either way. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' offense got the ball first, and the rookie navigated them down the field, though the drive would ultimately culminate in a missed field goal. Tagovailoa took the field and immediately made his mark on the game. Despite being without star wideouts Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, Miami's fifth-year veteran dinked and dunked his way down the field efficiently. His reported weight loss over the offseason showed up in his game as he looked nimble while evading pressure. Tua's highlight came on a 4th-and-1 inside the Commanders' 15-yard line, -- the second fourth-down the Dolphins would convert -- where he threw a beautifully lofted pass to River Cracraft for a touchdown in the back of the end zone. It remains to be seen whether we will see Miami's starter next Friday when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Dolphins' final game of the preseason. However, it wouldn't be surprising if we didn't, considering how crisp he looked Saturday down his top weapons. As we head into the regular season, he's Yahoo!'s QB14 in ADP.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Deneric Prince flashed some big-play ability in Saturday evening's preseason defeat to the visiting Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium, rushing seven times for 47 yards in the loss. Prince also caught one of his two targets for seven yards on Saturday against Detroit, most notably breaking away for a 41-yard scamper in the second quarter to help set up an eventual scoring drive for the Chiefs. The 24-year-old power back might be making some inroads on KC's No. 2 job in the backfield as he battles with incumbent veteran Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the role, but he still has some work to do if he wants to become the top backup to workhorse starter Isiah Pacheco this fall. Prince has one more chance to leave an impression on the coaching staff in Thursday's preseason finale against the Chicago Bears.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 14 of his 20 passes for 135 yards and two interceptions while adding four carries for 19 yards in a 27-12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in preseason action on Saturday. Huntley played the entire second half for the Browns after Dorian Thompson-Robinson got the start and led the offense until halftime. Huntley and Thompson-Robinson are vying to open the season as the No. 3 quarterback in Cleveland behind Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston.

Miami Dolphins running backs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane are listed as co-starters on the team's latest preseason depth chart, but rookie Jaylen Wright's strong performance in training camp and in the preseason opener should give him a role in 2024. Wright led all players with 55 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in his NFL debut against the Atlanta Falcons, and his style fits perfectly in head coach Mike McDaniel's outside-zone running scheme. Pro Football Network's Adam Beasley says to expect Wright to see significant action as a rookie. Per TruMedia, the Dolphins led the league in carries (240), rushing yards (1,213), touchdowns (12) and rushing first downs (62) out of 21 personnel in 2023. The 21-year-old fourth-rounder appears to have a leg up on Jeff Wilson Jr. for the RB3 role in an explosive Miami offense.
