Achane's slow start and playoff history vs. Chiefs suggest limited upside in Week 3 matchup.

Achane has been quiet to start the 2026 season but is one of the most explosive players in the NFL since being drafted in 2023. The source notes he finished last season with 1,838 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns, but the Raiders and 49ers both kept him under 100 yards this season. In his only career matchup against the Chiefs, Achane was held in check with only nine rushing yards and 31 receiving yards in a playoff game. The Chiefs defense, motivated after giving up over 130 all-purpose yards to Jonathan Taylor, should be able to contain Achane using quicker secondary players in Dime and Nickel personnel.
