BALLER MOVE: Borderline Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane, after being a clear must-start through the first two weeks, is now much more questionable due to the team's offensive situation. The absence of starting QB Tua Tagovailoa has turned Miami's best offensive playmakers from set-and-forget studs to massive headaches.
The Dolphins put on their worst offensive performance in Week 4, and Achane was bottled up all day. The opposing Tennessee Titans defense wasn't scared of new Dolphins starting QB Tyler Huntley's arm and focused its attention on Achane, who ended up with 10 carries for just 15 yards and three catches for 14 yards.
Weeks 1-2:
De'Von Achane fantasy league-winner, great pick you smart person youWeeks 3-4:
De'Von Achane, sweet second-round pick you absolute idiot loser— Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) October 1, 2024
It's not his fault, and he has a chance to have a solid game against the New England Patriots in Week 5. Tune into the matchup because it could be the absolute toughest contest to watch. The Pats offense is so ineffective that it could afford the Dolphins more offensive drives.
More drives means more chances for Achane to do something. He's a fine start if you have no other upside players to put in your lineup.
