Elite talent at RB7 ADP, but worst offensive ecosystem in NFL makes him overpriced.

De'Von AchaneRB

Jason Wood ranks Achane as RB10, acknowledging elite talent, but his current ADP of RB7 (13th overall) is too lofty given Miami's gutted roster. Wood states he likely won't have many shares of Achane this season not because of bust risk but because his elite talent collides with arguably the worst ecosystem of any top-tier running back in the league. Achane's career trajectory shows elite production: 2023 (RB7 per-game, 7.8 yards per carry despite missing time), 2024 (RB11 finish with 4.5 yards per rush but evolved into dynamic receiving weapon with 78 receptions), 2025 (RB6 overall finish with 238 carries, 1,350 rushing yards, 67 receptions despite struggling offense and defensive focus). However, Miami's complete organizational rebuild dismantled the roster by trading or releasing QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Tyreek Hill, WR Jaylen Waddle, TE Darren Waller, TE Julian Hill, OL Cole Strange, FB Alec Ingold, S Minkah Fitzpatrick, EDGE Bradley Chubb, and CB Jack Jones. The new regime (GM Jon-Eric Sullivan from Green Bay, HC Jeff Hafley, QB Malik Willis) created one of the least competitive rosters in the NFL. Miami's offensive ecosystem is historically weak: offensive line ranked 30th overall with 31st-ranked run-blocking (per Footballguys OL specialist Matt Bitonti), defense ranked 30th, offense projected 30th in total yards and 29th in touchdowns. Las Vegas and analytical models view Miami as consensus bottom-two team with 4.5 implied win total (26.5% win probability), worst in NFL. The Athletic models Miami with league-worst -7.1 expected margin of victory; ESPN ranks them 32nd in Football Power Index; Sharp Football also ranks them 32nd. Bobby Slowik was promoted to offensive coordinator despite being directly attached to Miami's flatlined passing game last year and serving as Houston's embattled play-caller in 2023-2024. Historical analysis of top running backs on bottom-5 scoring offenses (2021-2025) shows a concerning floor: median finish is RB25-26 range, with only outliers like Breece Hall (RB3 in 2023, RB19 in 2024) and Derrick Henry (RB4 in 2022) reaching top-12 status. Most top backs on bottom-five offenses finish RB19-34 range. The source cites this historical precedent as the primary reason Achane won't be on his rosters at top-7 price, despite acknowledging elite talent.
