De’Von Achane's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane handled 15 carries in the team's 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, churning out 77 yards. He added two receptions and eight yards on three targets. Achane ran well Sunday against a porous Colts D as the Dolphins deployed a run-heavy game plan, totaling just 26 pass attempts to their 40 rushing. It's another disappointing outing for the second-year back, as Miami has averaged just nine points a game on offense since Week 2. While his day wasn't very useful regarding fantasy production, he out-carried backfield mate Raheem Mostert by four and out-gained him by 27, while the veteran did not record a target in the passing game. The Fins will square off against the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 8.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) said he cleared the league's concussion protocol and is in line to play this Sunday in Week 7 versus the Indianapolis Colts. Achane practiced in full all week, so the writing was on the wall for him to be active this weekend after he suffered a concussion in the Week 5 game against the division-rival New England Patriots. The 23-year-old was fortunate to have a bye last week to rest up, and now he's ready to go as Miami's lead back against the Colts. He had only three carries against the Pats in Week 5 before being ruled out with his head injury. Achane and the rest of the Dolphins' offensive skill players will have lower fantasy ceilings and floors as long as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remains out, but Achane should at least be in play as an RB2 in a good matchup in Indy this weekend.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is lined up for an intriguing outing against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year back practiced without a non-contact jersey in the team's Thursday practice, suggesting he's trending toward returning to action in Week 7 from the concussion sustained before the Week 6 bye. It's been a rough stretch for the 23-year-old, who has yet to eclipse nine fantasy points since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was forced from Miami's Week 2 loss against the Buffalo Bills. He'll get an excellent bounce-back opportunity this Sunday when they square off against the Colts. Indianapolis allows an average of 155.2 rush yards per game to opposing offenses and a solid 4.6 yards per attempt. Raheem Mostert ran well in his return to action in Week 5 (19 car./80 yds.), but he and rookie Jaylen Wright combined for 32 carries in the win, so Achane could be in for a sizeable workload on the ground if they run back their game plan from before the team's bye. The former Aggie is RotoBaller's PPR RB19 in this week's rankings.
