ANALYSIS: Explosive rookie De'Von Achane appeared destined to join a crowded backfield during the offseason when the congested path to touches included a depth chart that also contained Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. - before Wilson was placed on injured reserve. Achane debuted in Week 2 following his recovery from shoulder surgery and was limited to five snaps and nine total yards. He also operated in a rotation with Mostert and Salvon Ahmed during that matchup with New England.
Ahmed was sidelined by a groin injury when Miami hosted Denver in Week 3 as Achane elevated into an expanded workload. Achane accumulated 30 snaps and 22 touches, and the dynamic first-year back capitalized by erupting for 223 total yards and four touchdowns.
De’Von Achane was nothing short of SPECTACULAR in his Season Debut ‼️💨 #FinsUp

Mostert also accumulated 142 total yards and four touchdowns and will continue to accumulate touches. Ahmed and Wilson will soon regain their health. However, Achane’s playmaking abilities should keep him involved in Mike McDaniel’s allocation of touches despite the presence of Miami's other backs. He is currently available in over 60% of all leagues and has soared atop the list of this week’s waiver wire options.
