De'Von Achane (RB – MIA): Down 3 spots to No. 17 – Tier 2 into Tier 3. The week's most consequential move. Achane fell from Tier 2 into Tier 3, the first time a top-15 player has been demoted a tier this summer. This is not an injury story. His offseason shoulder cleanup was routine, and he's expected to be full-go for camp. This is the consensus recalibrating his projection. The concern is target volume: Achane ranked second among all running backs in target share last season, but Miami now has Malik Willis at quarterback, whose rushing ability figures to produce fewer checkdowns.

De'Von Achane falls to Tier 3; Willis's rushing ability threatens target volume.

De'Von Achane fell 3 spots to No. 17, dropping from Tier 2 into Tier 3—the first time a top-15 player has been demoted a tier this summer. This is not an injury story; his offseason shoulder cleanup was routine and he's expected to be full-go for camp. The consensus is recalibrating his projection due to target volume concerns. Achane ranked second among all running backs in target share last season, but Miami now has Malik Willis at quarterback, whose rushing ability figures to produce fewer checkdowns. Paired with an offense widely projected among the league's worst, the case for elite RB upside gets harder to make even though the talent and workload are unquestioned.
