Rookie RB with Gibbs-like speed, Freeman-like receiving upside, contingent on Jones injury.
De'Von AchaneRBMIA
Rookie RB receiving upside play; compared to Keaton Mitchell rookie year, Devonta Freeman (positive fantasy precedent), and Jahmyr Gibbs in terms of speed and burst per Aaron Jones. CBS's Mike Renner called him most dynamic back in draft class after Jahmyr Love. The Athletic's Dane Brugler noted mismatch-creating athleticism and receiving upside as diet version of Devonta Freeman. At 188 lb, receiving work is critical to fantasy viability; contingent upside if Aaron Jones injured—Jones had 13.8% target share last year, and if Achane steps into that role with his home run hitting ability, he could thrive despite Jordan Mason capping backfield upside.
