Miami Dolphins Wednesday practice, Ravens

Not spotted: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane, Terron Armstead, Robert Hunt

Related Players: Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson

Missing a Wednesday practice isn't a big deal for a vet, but for a rookie that's been dealing with a toe issue, it's a different story. Achane has been limited in his last two games, garnering 22 opportunities (carries + targets) for only 93 combined yards and 11.3 half-PPR fantasy points. Against a stout Ravens run-defense, it could be difficult to trust him as more than a FLEX play, though his explosiveness can turn any touch into a huge play, so it may be all about risk tolerance in Week 17.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that he expects RB De'Von Achane (toe) to play against the Cowboys. He also reiterated that WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) had no setbacks, and he feels good about Hill playing.

Mostert and Achane have proven that they can both be great fantasy assets when they're sharing the field. The Cowboys have an off-and-on run defense, but the game is expected to be very high-scoring, which opens up a lot of touchdown equity. Both options should be considered RB2s, and it's not outlandish to play them both in the same lineup.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel called the availability of Xavien Howard and De’Von Achane “unknowns” as the team is holding walkthroughs today instead of a full practice.

It's going to be very difficult to trust Achane in Week 15, even if we end up seeing him at practice by the end of the week. Arguably the most explosive running back in the league right now, the rookie left Week 14's matchup early (toe) after missing a big chunk of the year with a knee injury. Mostert is also on the injury report at the moment, but it doesn't seem he's in danger of missing this game.

De'Von Achane will play Sunday, McDaniel said. Coach doesn't know on Rob Hunt but optimistic.

This puts a cap on how much we can trust Mostert is a locked-in RB1, but both backs can —and have— gotten there while sharing the field. However, this does impact Jeff Wilson heavily, who should now be left on fantasy benches.

Tyreek Hill and Raheem Mostert returned to Dolphins practice today but Jevon Holland and Kendall Lamm remain sidelined.

It's possible that Achane returns this week as well, but that doesn't mean we should fade Mostert. That tandem has proven on more than one occasion that they can both be plugged into lineups and still offer individual upside.

The Dolphins held running back De’Von Achane out of the Black Friday win over the Jets.

Achane is considered day to day.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that a number of factors went into the decision, including the short week, the opponent and faith in Mostert and Wilson, the story said. The piece went on to quote McDaniel: "So, as he goes he’ll tell me he can play I already know that, but he’ll just be closely evaluated, making sure we have the confident version of him." Owners will again have to monitor Achane this week. The Dolphins play an early game in Week 13 at the Commanders so owners will be able to adjust lineups.

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane (knee) isn’t expected to play today vs. the Jets.

As it stands, it is more than likely going to be the Mostert/Wilson show once again, but things could certainly change by tomorrow. As it stands, Mostert is a borderline RB1/2, while Wilson would return to FLEX consideration.

Injury report for tomorrow’s Jets-Dolphins game. De’Von Achane questionable. Mekhi Becton also questionable but listed as a DNP projection today.

Running back Salvon Ahmed went on injured reserve.

Ahmed has a foot injury despite catching a touchdown against the Raiders. He also ran for a touchdown earlier in the season. Ahmed likely saw more time this past week with the team not putting Achane back in the game after a knee injury. Achane should be good to play in Week 12, a Friday contest, but it will be worth monitoring for the rest of the week. If Achane is out, Wilson could run as the RB2 behind Mostert.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel says nothing final yet but is “very optimistic” about RB De’Von Achane playing Sunday vs. Raiders.

Guard Robert Hunt is ruled OUT. McDaniel said it’d be “pretty risky” to play Sunday.

Chase Claypool had a minor knee procedure over the bye week. He’s week-to-week.

If Achane is cleared for Sunday, you absolutely have to get him in your lineup as an explosive RB1 option. Still, Mostert can be used as well, even in the same lineup.
