De'Von Achane

Week 15 at Houston Texans

Raheem Mostert is back this week, but not sure that is enough to dissuade you from locking in De'Von Achane. He continues to operate as the RB1, but with the ascension of Jaylen Waddle the last few weeks, Achane is operating as more of the third option in the target tree. That said, he's a solid play every single week.

While the matchup is difficult on the ground, Houston is 3rd aFPA against running backs, Achane's ceiling comes from his role in the passing game. A difficult matchup on the ground shouldn't scare you off from the RB8 this week. He's an easy start.

Week 12 at Green Bay Packers

For the first time this season, I'm only going to be writing up one Miami Dolphins running back as De'Von Achane has essentially iced Jaylen Wright and Raheem Mostert out of any potential 1B role. This is Achane's backfield, officially.

The best way to attack the Packers' defense is on the ground as they are 10th aFPA against running backs. However, they have given up big games to backs at times this year and Achane may be their best hope on Thanksgiving. Achane is RB4 on the week and he'll have to play like it for the Dolphins to have a chance to continue to save their season.

Week 11 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

I don't think we'll have to worry about Raheem Mostert taking over a larger role in the offense from De'Von Achane anytime soon. Jaylen Wright? Well, time will tell, but for now, Achane is the clear lead back and is still getting targeted heavily in the passing game. His 5 targets last week against the Rams were second on the team and continue a theme where Achane continues to see WR2 targets.

The Dolphins get the Raiders this week and Achane gets a dream matchup as Las Vegas is 29th aFPA against running backs. The matchup is great and the role looks great as Achane continues to dominate the backfield, Achane is a high-end RB1 this week and a must-start.
