BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1/2
ANALYSIS: Rookie dynamo De'Von Achane appears set to return from his stint on Injured Reserve this week against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz. Before going down with a knee injury following Week 5, Achane spent the first month of the season breaking ankles and blowing minds while averaging an astounding 12.1 yards per carry across his four 2023 appearances.

While those superhuman numbers aren't sustainable (we don't think), Achane has clearly placed himself in a very elite tier of game-breakers that have the ability to win matchups for their fantasy managers almost singlehandedly. The rookie is averaging a blistering 25.4 fantasy points per game (PPR) when healthy.
Achane has been getting in limited practice sessions this week and would draw a juicy matchup against the Raiders if he indeed returns to the lineup in Week 11. Las Vegas has surrendered an average of 145.4 total yards per game to enemy backs in 2023.
While there are concerns that Achane could be eased back in this week, he's shown the ability to be highly efficient and post slate-winning scores while sharing work with fellow Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert. Those fantasy managers lucky enough to have Achane on their roster can fire him up as a borderline RB1/2 if he suits up as expected.
