De'Von Achane News
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane could be looking at a bigger role heading into the Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back sat out Week 1 to fully recover from a preseason injury. He made his NFL debut last week, but played in a limited role. The expectation is that Achane will have larger role this week with the backfield banged up. Raheem Mostert will be the starter, while his primary backup in Salvon Ahmed (groin) is unlikely to play. That means, Achane could step into the No. 2 role for this upcoming game. It would likely lead to increased snaps and hopefully some streaming appeal. However, Mostert will handle a majority of the snaps, so Achane would mainly be a deep league option, assuming he serves as the primary backup.
Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane didn't do much in his first NFL game in the Sunday night win over the division-rival New England Patriots, even with backup Salvon Ahmed (groin) getting injured in the contest. Achane finished the 24-17 victory with just one carry for five yards while catching his only target for a four-yard gain. He played just 10 percent of the offensive snaps, which was behind Raheem Mostert (73%), Alec Ingold (60%) and Ahmed (19%). The 21-year-old didn't play in the season opener due to a shoulder injury, but he's healthy now and could see a bigger workload in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos if Ahmed is unable to suit up. Even then, Achane is nothing more than a deep-league handcuff for Mostert as he eases his way into Miami's backfield.
Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) practiced in full all week and was removed from the final Week 2 injury report on Friday. Achane wasn't on last week's injury report either, but he still wasn't active for the Week 1 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. It remains to be seen if the 21-year-old will be active for his NFL debut on Sunday night against the division-rival New England Patriots, and if he is, he'll merely be looking for scraps behind starter Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed in Miami's backfield. Ahmed played just 29 percent of the offensive snaps last week behind Mostert and had three touches.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) clocked a blazing 4.32-second 40-yard dash time at the 2023 NFL combine, the third-quickest registration among all participants. The 21-year-old rookie was selected by Miami in the third round of April's draft, and the landing spot could ultimately prove to be quite favorable. Achane joins a Dolphins backfield with beatable touch competition comprising oft-injured 31-year-old Raheem Mostert and 27-year-old jack-of-all-trades Jeff Wilson Jr....
