De'Von Achane

De'Von Achane is a dual-threat back who produces as a runner and as a receiver. Across his three full seasons in Miami he has drawn steady target volume, 85 targets in 2025 and 87 in 2024, so he scores even when the ground game stalls. His rushing efficiency has been the swing factor: 7.8 yards per carry as a rookie in 2023, 4.5 in 2024 and 5.7 in 2025. He has also converted near the goal line, with 12 total touchdowns in each of the last two seasons.

The 2026 sample is three games, and it is well below his standard. He has averaged about 11.3 carries, 42 rushing yards, 4 targets and 8.2 PPR points per game, at 3.7 yards per carry. No touchdowns appear in his line. The usage itself isn't the problem. His carries per game are close to his 2024 rate of about 11.9, and his 7 red-zone carries work out to roughly 2.3 per game, in line with 2024 (about 2.2) and above 2025 (about 1.8). What has fallen off is efficiency and finishing. He was at 20.2 PPR points per game in 2025, about 84 rushing yards and 5.3 targets a game, and 17.6 per game in 2024.

For now the fantasy read is simple: he is on IR and listed fourth on the depth chart, so he can't help a lineup this week, and DFS players should pass. The Clutch Edge projection of 15.3 points per game reflects what he can do when active. The #251 overall rank reflects that he isn't. In season-long leagues the value is in holding him. His red-zone and carry volume held up even in a slow three-game stretch, and his two prior seasons finished 18th and 14th in PPR.

Two things would change the outlook: activation from IR and a return to the top of the depth chart. If he comes back with the 5-plus targets per game he drew in 2024 and 2025, his floor returns. The open question is whether the 3.7 yards per carry rebounds toward his career norms or carries over after he's back.
