From the episode

So I am, you know, I am as a low end RB1 or running back 11. I just, again, I feel safer about Chase Brown, Ken Walker, Saquon, all of whom I have ranked higher

Achane is a low-end RB1; concerns exist regarding Malik Willis's lack of check-downs.

Matthew Berry ranks Achane as a low-end RB1 (RB11) due to concerns about Malik Willis's lack of check-downs; Willis has targeted running backs on only 10% of his 89 pass attempts over the last two seasons. While Berry prefers Chase Brown and Ken Walker for their situations, he acknowledges Achane is an elite talent who will be fine if the Dolphins' offense is merely 'normal bad' rather than incompetent.
