NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Achane underperformed in his first two games before getting injured against Minnesota; backup Ollie Gordon has since outperformed him statistically. The speaker expresses frustration that Achane, whom they identified as one of the best running backs in the NFL pre-season, didn't produce early and is now sidelined, while Gordon—a 6th-round pick—has stepped in and performed better. The speaker believes Achane would be putting up nice numbers over the last three weeks had he remained healthy.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Devon Achan is being compared to Ollie Gordon; the source initially thought if Achan couldn't do the job, there's no way Gordon could, but has since changed that narrative; Achan would likely be doing better than Gordon if he were healthy, with more involvement in the passing game, as Gordon only has five targets and 14 yards (zero against Cincinnati).NegativeBustOct 12, 2026
Early-season struggles and injury have given way to Ollie Gordon's emergence; Achan had turned out to be touchdown dependent early in the season without receiving game work, and Gordon's success may reflect Achan's misfortune rather than a fundamental change in the offense.NegativeInjurySep 29, 2026

Devon Achane has seen his fantasy value drop from an RB1 to an RB2/flex territory due to inconsistent rushing efficiency and limited touchdown equity on a struggling Miami offense, despite maintaining a solid target floor of five-plus catches in back-to-back games.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026

Despite concerns over a low-volume week one, the source remains committed to De'Von Achane. He maintained a 19% target share and played 88% of snaps, suggesting he will remain productive as long as the offense is competent.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
The source expressed concern over Devon Achane receiving only five targets in a game where the Dolphins were trailing, though they noted that a 19% target share is still healthy. His rushing efficiency was poor (36 yards on 11 carries), but the source remains optimistic about his overall role.PositiveUsageSep 11, 2026
Devon Achane is a recommended start against the Lions, with expectations for significant passing game usage as the Saints are expected to be trailing.NegativeUsageSep 10, 2026

Mike Clay identifies Devon Achan as a top target in round two, noting he is the 10th overall player on his board. Despite concerns about the offense, Achan's efficiency, explosive rating, and expected high volume of touches make him a strong value if he falls to the second round.PositiveProjectionAug 20, 2026
Ranked fifth among running backs, eighth overall. Has 3,057 rushing yards in three years and is maybe the most efficient runner in the NFL. Concerns include a worse Dolphins offense, mobile quarterback potentially decreasing target share, and team playing from behind. However, could be right back in 80-catch territory this season if Dolphins play catch-up. Averaged 9.5 fantasy points per game as a pass catcher over past two years, second among running backs behind only Christian McCaffrey. Viewed as a talent bet on a special player.PositiveValueAug 13, 2026
The source strongly recommends keeping De'Von Achane for a ninth-round pick, viewing it as a significant discount compared to his actual draft value. They consider him a better keeper option than Javonte Williams or Tetairoa McMillan due to the round-value advantage.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
Despite concerns about the Dolphins' offense and potential efficiency regression, the source highlights Achane as a league-winning candidate due to his elite efficiency; he is tied with Jahmyr Gibbs for the most PPR points per touch among 38 running backs with at least 350 carries over the last three seasons. The source projects over 250 carries and 65 catches, noting that even if efficiency dips, his volume and designed passing game usage will sustain his floor.PositiveProjectionAug 12, 2026
The source notes that Achane is a polarizing player but confirms they have him ranked as the RB5 for the upcoming season.
