Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is coming off another solid performance in their 34-19 win in Week 11 over the Las Vegas Raiders. He carried the ball 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown. He also added four receptions for 32 yards. Achane has been on an absolute tear since Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return in Week 8. He's now ranked as the overall fantasy RB8 and scored 20+ PPR points in three of his last four games. 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 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.
