Fantasy Football Player Notes

De'Von Achane is the RB23 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19 touches and 79.5 total yards per game. Through two games, he has been inefficient with his touches despite seeing league-average offensive line play (21st in yards before contact per attempt among 43 qualifying rushers). Among 43 qualifying rushers, Achane ranks 31st in explosive run rate, 38th in yards after contact per attempt, and 35th in missed tackle rate. He has dominated the backfield work for Miami with an 82.9% snap rate, 66% of the rushing attempts, a 73.8% route share, and a 22% target share. Achane could find decent running room this week against a run defense that has allowed the tenth-highest rushing success rate, has the 12th-lowest stuff rate, and has given up the 14th-most yards before contact per attempt.

Malik Washington has barely been flex-viable despite seeing a large portion of the Miami passing attack through two games. Washington is the WR51 in fantasy points per game despite seeing a 26% target share with 1.68 YPRR, four deep targets, zero red zone targets, and a 23.3% first-read share. Sit Washington this week against a secondary that has allowed the fourth-fewest yards per target and the second-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to wide receivers.

Caleb Douglas sustained an ankle injury last week. I'm not expecting him to play this week, but I'll update his status on Friday. He opened the week with a DNP.
