Should You Start or Sit De’Von Achane in Week 11?
De’Von Achane was bottled up on Monday night against the Rams (52 yards and no touchdowns on 17 touches), but the game plan in Miami is to get him the ball in space, and that is going to elevate his floor to that of a Tier 2 running back.
In a game where Miami couldn’t move the ball or establish any push up front, their lead back still reached double figures in PPR fantasy points thanks to catching five passes, a total he’s hit in every one of Tua Tagovailoa’s starts this season.
The Raiders allow the 10th-most yards per carry to running backs this season, and with the built-in floor that is his pass-catching ability, a spike week could be in store for this explosive Dolphin. You’re starting him weekly and feeling privileged to do so.
