Think 2022's version of Saquon Barkley as Achane's bull case. Barkley was the RB6 in the year with Daniel Jones at QB. Jones was a top-4 QB rusher across the board (yards, attempts, scrambles, and scramble yards). It was Jones' best season as a rusher. Barkley led the Giants in regular-season targets.

Barkley's 2022 season (RB6 with Jones) is the bull-case template for Achane.

Barkley's 2022 season with Daniel Jones serves as the bull-case model for De'Von Achane. Despite Jones being a top-4 QB rusher (yards, attempts, scrambles, scramble yards), Barkley led the Giants in regular-season targets and finished RB6. This represents the ideal scenario for an alpha back in a barren receiver room paired with a scrambling QB—the single biggest model-beater in six years of data. Barkley's 2022 ADP was RB11 (back of Round 2), very close to Achane's 2026 ADP, and he was drafted as a top-5 consensus RB the following season.
