Fantasy Football Player Notes

De'Von Achane was the fantasy RB1 in points per game, with Tua Tagovailoa healthy in 2024. And it was related to his receiving numbers rather than rushing efficiency. He regressed immensely in the latter compared to his rookie campaign. His mind-boggling 7.8 yards per carry fell to 4.6 yards per carry.
But Achane's receiving had room to grow in Year 2 and it ultimately MORE than made up the difference with a declining yards per carry.
The Dolphins RB has a top 5 fantasy football ceiling based on his explosive and three-down skill set. He finished second in routes run among RBs last year.
Let's see Miami upgrade their offensive line in 2025 and watch Achane boom.

The TE4 season that only dedmeow5 on X called out before the season, Jonnu Smith took the position by storm as the TE6 in points per game. The YAC-monster carried over the impressive efficiency metrics and under-the-radar season-highs from his 2023 season in Atlanta and became an integral part of the 2024 Dolphins.
Smith finally got the usage that his stans have wanted since his Titans days.
Now it's just a matter of Miami's sticking to the same script in 2025, as bounce-back seasons for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle would likely come at Smith's expense.
