Devon Achane
2025 Season Outlooks
Achane is deserving of a top-15 pick in Fantasy drafts and can certainly be justified as a late first-round pick. In 11 games with Tua Tagovailoa in 2024, Achane was on pace for nearly 1,800 total yards, 104 catches and 17 touchdowns. He averaged 22.6 points per game in full-PPR and nearly 19 points per game in half-PPR with Tua. That is elite stuff, and if he can somehow pull that off again, he will be among the most valuable players in Fantasy leagues. Remember, as a rookie in 2023 Achane was the fourth-best running back on a per-game basis despite playing six or fewer snaps in two games. His talent is undeniable and hopefully, he answered injury questions by playing 17 games in 2024 (though he did leave Week 4 with an injury). Are there any concerns? Miami's offensive line could be brutal, and Achane had only 203 carries in 17 games. If the catches come down, does he have enough of a workload to rely on? Expect the Dolphins to involve him more in the run game. They will find ways to give him touches and he should be set for a big season.
One of the rising stars in fantasy, Achane is entering his third NFL season after an impressive 2024, in which he registered only the 12th instance over the last decade of a player producing 200-plus carries and 75-plus receptions in a single season. Achane has now scored at least 11 TDs in both NFL seasons and paced all RBs in routes, catches, yards and receiving TDs last season. He also put size concerns aside, appearing in 17 games and finishing ninth among RBs in snaps. Achane's play plummeted when Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined (9.8 fantasy PPG), but he was elite when his QB was under center (22.6), which is the more relevant number with Tagovailoa back for 2025. Achane's dual-threat ability locks him in as a solid fantasy RB1.
His splits with and without Tua Tagovailoa were remarkable. He averaged 22.5 fantasy points per game when Tagovailoa played last season and 8.7 when he was out.
It’s also possible someone takes over for Achane in short-yardage situations. Achane ran the ball five times when the Dolphins needed one yard to score. He lost three yards on those runs and only scored once. He had 14 runs within five yards of scoring and only scored three times.
Left tackle Terron Armstead was the only offensive lineman on the Dolphins with a run block grade above 75.0 (83.4). He retired this offseason.
