Achane exploded in Week 3 for 203 yards rushing and 30 yards receiving with four total touchdowns. My goodness.
For those of you wondering just how many fantasy points that is … we are talking about 50.3 points in PPR formats.
After a slow start on the ground in the 2023 season, the Dolphins’ rushing attack has generated 495 yards over the last two games.
Achane saw just two touches for nine yards in Week 2 but saw his role expand exponentially in Week 3 with 22 total touches, which bodes very well for his role in this high-powered offense that continues to grow as the season progresses.
The Dolphins set a franchise record for points in a game with their 70-20 win over the Broncos.

Keep in mind that quarterback Tua Tagavailoa threw for 309 yards and four scores without dynamic wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in the lineup this week.
If Tua can stay healthy and continue to play at an MVP level, this offense could continue to generate massive outings regularly throughout the season.
Achane proved on Sunday he can be a major contributor to your fantasy team immediately in this offense. He is easily the top waiver wire add in fantasy heading into Week 4.
