De'Von Achane

PositiveUsage0:10

The source argues that De'Von Achane's receptions last year were primarily schemed touches rather than check-downs, and expects him to continue receiving a high volume of manufactured receptions due to the team's defensive state. Achane averaged over 20 fantasy points per game in full PPR last season, finishing as the RB5 on RB5 usage, and RB5 on RB7 usage in half PPR. While the source discounts the coaching staff's hyperbolic claims of 40 touches per game, they believe Achane could easily rank among the league leaders in touches per game if he remains healthy.

0:00He is by far the best player on their
0:01team, and they have nobody else to throw
0:03the ball to. So, as much as like Malik
0:05Willis is going to scramble and like
0:07he's going to maybe take some sacks, and
0:08they might not pass the ball as much.
0:10Most of the receptions Devon Achane got
0:12last year were schemed up touches. They
0:13were not check-downs. And I think that's
0:15like a big misconception, and there's no
0:17way you can look at this depth chart and
0:19tell me that Devon Achane is not going
0:21to get a bunch of manufactured
0:22receptions this year. Like that's
0:23impossible, especially with the state of
0:25their defense. They're going to have to
0:26get him the ball. And full PPR, he
0:28averaged over 20 fantasy points per game
0:31last season. He was the RB5 on RB5
0:33usage. In half PPR, he was the RB5 on
0:36RB7 usage. They've had some really crazy
0:39quotes from the coaching staff saying
0:41like they're going to give him the ball
0:42like 40 times per game. I'm not
0:45expecting that to happen, but I I would
0:46not be surprised for as long as he stays
0:48healthy, and he's a small cat, that he
0:50he could easily be amongst the highest
0:52in touches per game. And I think that
0:54the Dolphins are going to be a bad
0:55offense. I don't think they're going to
0:56be a historically bad offense.
