NFL fines De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright for "violent gesture"The rash of Week 13 "nose wipe" fines did not completely wipe out the celebration for Week 14.
De'Von Achane Limited ThursdayDolphins RB De'Von Achane (ribs) got in a limited practice on Thursday. He donned a no-contact jersey. Achane isn't a lock to be ready for Monday night's game vs. the Steelers, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. We'll update his status again tomorrow. RB Jaylen Wright remains worth stashing in virtually all fantasy leagues in the meantime.
De'Von Achane nursing rib injuryLeft early in Week 14 McDaniel said just now that only treatment is needed for Achane. He's highly motivated to play Monday, McDaniel said. Achane told McDaniel he was uncomfortable Sunday but feeling better today. Achane told McDaniel he could have gone back in game vs Jets if needed. He had MRI. (Miami Herald - Barry Jackson) FF Today's Take: Of course, the Dolphins play on Monday night to wrap up Week 15, so fantasy managers need to have a backup plan. Jaylen Wright took over the backfield following Achane's exit in Week 14, rushing for 107 yards and a score against the Jets. It sounds like Achane will be able to give it a go, but it would not be the worst idea for any running back-needy fantasy team to pick up Wright just in case.
De'Von Achane "Looks Good" For Week 15Dolphins RB De'Von Achane's availability for next Monday night's game vs. the Steelers "looks good," ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques said after attending HC Mike McDaniel's Monday press conference. McDaniel said Achane hurt his ribs when he fell on the ball at the end of his 29-yard run vs. the Jets. Achane got an MRI on Monday, which seemingly came back clean. He's "feeling better today," McDaniel added. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but Achane can be penciled into Week 15 fantasy lineups for now. RBs Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon are still worth stashing on benches in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
