After averaging an outrageous 7.8 yards per carry as a rookie in 2023, Achane merely averaged 4.5 yards per carry last season. But Achane's receiving numbers soared last year as the Miami passing game became more of a dink-and-dunk attack. In 2023, Achane had 27 catches in 11 games. Last year, he had 78 catches for 592 yards and six TDs in 17 games. The question is whether the Dolphins restore the verticality to their passing game, endeavoring to get Tyreek Hill and Jayden Waddle more involved. If so, Achane might not come close to repeating those stellar receiving totals.
But as I mentioned when we talked about projections that scare us and we got into Tyreek Hill ... Tua Tagovailoa averaged 5.7 intended air yards per throw last year - a career low for Tua and a crazy-low number in general. ... When Tua came back from his concussion last year, he just wasn't throwing downfield very much. It was bad for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and it was good for Achane and Jonnu Smith.
Achane went from 2.5 catches a game as a rookie to 4.5 catches a game. I just don't know if Achane is going to be quite that busy as a pass catcher if Tua can stay healthy and the Miami passing game is back to normal this year, with much more of a downfield component than we saw in 2024.

De'Von Achane disappoints in Dolphins win over Browns

De’Von Achane had a tough outing in the Miami Dolphins’ 20-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. He carried the ball 10 times for just 25 yards, averaging 2.5 yards per carry, with no touchdowns. The Browns’ defense stifled Miami’s run game, leaving Achane unable to break free for any significant gains. His performance was a major letdown for fantasy managers expecting more production.

Fantasy Impact

Achane’s poor showing is a blow to fantasy managers relying on his upside during championship week. While his potential remains high due to his explosiveness, this game highlights the risk of relying on him in matchups against strong run defenses. Heading into the final week of the season, Achane should be viewed as a boom-or-bust flex option rather than a reliable starter.
