BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane suffered a concussion in Week 5, but with the team's bye last week, Achane won't miss any time. He has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.
what's so cool about De’Von Achane is that he runs with legit vision and knows how to tempo his world-class speed.

Even though things have been rough for Achane over the last few weeks, he remains a strong start this weekend in a great matchup. The Colts have given up the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs and the fifth-most rush yards (717) to the position through six weeks. As a result, the Dolphins running back is a solid RB2 option on Sunday.
Indianapolis has allowed at least 90 rush yards to a running back in four of six games this season, which included 93 rush yards and one touchdown from Tony Pollard last week. With Achane also a weapon in the passing game, it's best to keep the explosive back in your lineups in Week 7. He ranks fifth amongst all running backs in target share (14.7%) and fourth in receptions per game (4.2).
