De’Von Achane’s Fantasy Outlook
Talk about a complicated profile. Achane is clearly a special talent and it would appear that the Dolphins have committed to him as “the guy”, but there are a lot of risks now with the flow of this offense in flux.
Let’s start with the good. Achane has opened this season with a pair of 10+ carry and 7+ catch performances. Since 2011, only four times has a running back had a longer such streak (Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, David Johnson, and Saquon Barkley). Over that stretch, those four are responsible for eight of the 12 RB seasons of 350+ PPR points.
- McCaffrey (2019): 471.2 points
- Johnson (2016): 407.8 points
- McCaffrey (2023): 391.3 points
- Barkley (2018): 385.8 points
- McCaffrey (2018): 385.5 points
- Kamara (2020): 377.8 points
- McCaffrey (2022): 356.4 points
- Kamara (2018): 354.2 points
That’s royalty, and that is the company Achane is trending toward through 13 career games. His 7.2 yards-per-touch rate isn’t going to be sustained throughout his entire career, but his status as one of the most talented in the game doesn’t seem likely to go anywhere anytime soon.
The ‘Fins are as good as anyone at getting their talents in advantageous spots (Achane this season: Targeted on 31.1% of routes this season, up from 21.9% as a rookie, thanks to a -1.3-yard aDOT – they are scheming up pseudo-punt-return spots within the flow of their offense), and the NFL as a whole has yet to prove capable of slowing him for 60 consecutive minutes.
OK, now for the hard conversations. Tua Tagovailoa was only an average quarterback by our custom Week 1 QB Rankings, and that might be the best-case scenario when it comes to evaluating the signal-caller situation in Miami moving forward.
Through two weeks, 31.3% of Achane’s carries have failed to gain yardage, more than double his rate from a season ago and something that is largely the result of marginal, at best, quarterback play. Barkley’s name appeared on that list above and is among the names that come to mind when watching Achane play – he was stuck in a QB-needy situation last season, and, despite all of the talent in the world along with elite usage, failed to finish inside the top 30 at the position in 38.5% of his games during the fantasy season.
Achane is a fantasy starter, but I think it’s possible we’ve seen his only streak of 20+ point games of the season. There is no denying that there is risk involved in betting against a rare talent like this, but if you wanted to float out Achane’s name in trade offers, I wouldn’t be against moving on from him.
