    Is De’Von Achane Playing in Week 18?

    Achane is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Dolphins’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit De’Von Achane in Week 18?

    Achane might be as quarterback-dependent of a running back as there is in the NFL:

    • With Tua Tagovailoa: 18.6% production over expectation, 1.2 points per touch, and 24.1% on-field target share
    • With Tyler Huntley: 23.1% production under expectation, 0.5 points per touch, and 11.5% on-field target share

    With Huntley under center, Achane doesn’t have a red-zone target, sees his aDOT more than triple, and faces a loaded box more often. He’s too talented to bench, but if this is the Huntley show again, you’re watching with your eyes closed.

    If Tagovailoa is cleared to play, you should have zero concerns about gobbling up additional shares in addition to what you already hold in season-long formats. The Dolphins went with a pass-heavy script in the first meeting with the Jets (Week 14), which is just fine if QB1 is active.
