running back De'Von Achane has the explosiveness, speed, and versatility to make even the best NFL defenses look foolish; The 24-year-old running back produced a career-best 1,350 yards on 238 carries last season for Miami; 12-touchdown performance in 2025 set as new career-high mark; Achane is the type to truly test the Raiders defense as one mistake, one missed assignment can result in the tailback finding the end zone either from the interior or perimeter.

Achane's elite production and versatility test Raiders' weak interior run defense in Week 1.

Achane's explosiveness, speed, and versatility present a significant test for the Raiders' unsettled interior run defense in Week 1; the 24-year-old produced a career-best 1,350 rushing yards on 238 carries with 8 touchdowns plus 67 receptions for 488 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2025, and one missed assignment can result in the tailback finding the end zone from interior or perimeter; Raiders defensive tackles Folorunso Fatukasi, Thomas Booker IV, Adam Butler, Jonah Laulu, Tonka Hemingway, and JJ Pegues must control the line of scrimmage and A/B gaps to limit Achane's impact.
