From the video
There was a piece on The Athletic about De'Von Achane... I compared him to Keaton Mitchell rookie year... Sigmund Bloom has compared him to Devonta Freeman... Aaron Jones himself say, 'Honestly, it looks a little bit like Jahmyr Gibbs in terms of that speed and that burst.'... The Athletic's Dane Brugler said that he has the mismatch creating athleticism and receiving upside to be a diet version of De'Von Achane... If Achane could step into a number like that with his home run hitting ability... Achane could thrive.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalSleeper
Rookie RB with Gibbs-like speed, Freeman-like receiving upside, contingent on Jones injury.
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.
