DE'VON ACHANE NEWS

Eclipses 100 total yards in win Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 32 yards in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Achane once again served as the clear lead back and also held down a solid pass-catching role, netting another productive afternoon for the explosive second-year back. Achane's two-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter was his third score on the ground this season and sixth overall, and he now has a robust 24 receptions in his last four games alone. Achane will next do battle with a vulnerable Patriots run defense in a Week 12 home matchup.

Garners 52 total yards in win Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards and secured all five targets for 15 yards in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.

Impact Achane was stymied on the ground by a Rams defense that had frequently had trouble stopping the run, and although he remained a big part of the air attack, his receiving yardage total was his lowest in any game this season with at least five receptions. Achane's backfield mate Raheem Mostert notably did not log any carries Monday night while Jaylen Wright recorded a modest five rush attempts, further confirmation Achane seems to be in control of the ground attack heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.

Scores twice in Week 9 loss Achane rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.

Impact Achane gave the Dolphins a 10-3 lead with a 14-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, and he added an eight-yard rushing score in the fourth. He finished with 20 touches to Raheem Mostert's 12, as Achane was much more active as a pass catcher. Achane has at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in all four games started by Tua Tagovailoa this season, so the second-year running back profiles as a strong Week 10 fantasy option against the Rams on MNF.

Shines in QB's return Achane rushed 10 times for 97 yards while catching six of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Achane got 47 of his 147 scrimmage yards on an explosive third-quarter run, and he fittingly capped that drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch. He finished with 16 touches while Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright combined for 12, but Mostert's nine carries included a pair of short touchdown runs. Achane and Mostert coexisted effectively in Achane's 2023 rookie season, and the return of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) under center raises the ceiling for Miami's entire offense heading into a Week 9 trip to Buffalo.

Leading rusher in Week 7 loss Achane carried the ball 15 times for 77 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.

Impact The Dolphins' offense struggled once again with Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and then Tim Boyle under center, but Achane was still able to accumulate solid yardage and led the team in rushing. With Boyle potentially set for the start in Week 8 against the Cardinals if none of Huntley, Skylar Thompson (ribs) or Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) are able to suit up, Achane and Raheem Mostert (11 totes for 50 yards Sunday) could be in line for even bigger volume out of the backfield.

Clears concussion protocol Achane (concussion) said Friday he's fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN...

Impact Achane has been a full participation in practice coming off a Week 6 bye, and he's now fully on track to play Week 7 after having gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Including a Week 5 performance in which Achane handled just three carries before being forced off the field versus New England, the second-year pro has amassed just 63 rushing yards while averaging 2.3 YPC in his last three appearances. Now having shed any injury designation, Achane will have a chance to bounce back as the leader of Miami's backfield versus Indianapolis. While Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright represent threats to Achane's overall workload, he remains the No. 1 option in the Dolphins' talented running back room, a group that could see substantial work with Tyler Huntley still at the helm under center.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Optimism for Week 7 Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he's "optimistic" that Achane (concussion) will fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol after Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ES...

Impact Achane still needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist, but he's otherwise practiced in full this week and seems to be trending in the right direction coming out of a Week 6 bye. Assuming Achane can indeed gain full clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup in Indianapolis, he'll figure to lead Miami's speedy backfield, in which Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright are also pushing for touches.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Another full practice Achane (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Achane has now logged back-to-back full practices without a non-contract jersey, seemingly putting him in the final stage of concussion protocol, at which point he needs clearance from a neurologist before playing in Sunday's game at Indianapolis. Assuming that happens, he'll step in as the leader of a speedy, talented backfield in which Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright loom as threats to take a portion of the snaps/carries.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Achane (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Achane shed his non-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice, with the running back's listed full participation indicating that he's trending toward being available Sunday against the Colts, barring any setbacks. Assuming Achane officially clears the NFL's concussion protocol within the next couple of days, he'll be in line to head into the weekend without a Week 7 injury designation.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Sheds non-contact jersey Achane is in the final stage of concussion protocol and isn't wearing an non-contact jersey at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Coming out of a Week 6 bye, Achane wore the red, non-contact jersey at Monday's practice. He's apparently made progress since then and now has four days to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts, which will take place 14 days after Achane suffered a concussion in the Week 5 win at New England.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Dons non-contact jersey Monday Achane (concussion) wore a red non-contact jersey in practice Monday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact It's encouraging that Achane was on the practice field with his teammates Monday coming out of Miami's Week 6 bye, but he still has a few hurdles to clear in order to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He will need to upgrade to full practice participation at some point prior to Sunday's game against the Colts to have a chance to suit up. Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright would likely take on larger roles should Achane sit out due to the concussion he sustained in the Week 5 win over the Patriots.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Achane won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after suffering a concussion.

Impact Achane thus finished the contest with three carries for 18 yards and one catch for minus-one yard. In his absence versus New England, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright are available to handle Miami's backfield duties. Achane will target a return to action Oct. 20 against the Colts, following the Dolphins' Week 6 bye.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Sunday Achane won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots after suffering a concussion.

Impact Achane thus finished the contest with three carries for 18 yards and one catch for minus-1 yard. In his absence versus New England, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright are available to handle Miami's backfield duties. Achane will target a return to action Oct. 20 against the Colts, following the Dolphins' Week 6 bye.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Evaluated for possible concussion Achane is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Prior to his exit, Achane carried three times for 18 yards and caught one pass for minus-one yard. In his absence, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright are available to handle Miami's backfield duties versus New England.

Stymied in Week 4 loss Achane rushed 10 times for 15 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.

Impact Achane's forgettable numbers were essentially a microcosm of the type of night it was for the Dolphins' offense as a whole. The speedy back had a long run of only five yards and was repeatedly stymied, and both his rushing and receiving yardage totals were season lows. Achane logged just one more carry than rookie backfield mate Jaylen Wright, who played more than expected due to Raheem Mostert's (chest) inactive status and the fact Jeff Wilson suffered a knee injury in pregame warmups. Achane does have a favorable Week 5 matchup against the equally hapless Patriots on Sunday, but with Miami's quarterback situation also shaky irrespective of who's under center, it remains to be seen if he'll have enough running room to contribute meaningful numbers.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check in Week 3 loss Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and secured three of five targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 32 yards.

Impact Achane once again served as the lead back with Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the latter was knocked from the game with a chest injury. Achane will look for better results alongside whoever he shares the backfield with in a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

Held in check in Week 3 loss Achane rushed 11 times for 30 yards and secured three of five targets for 28 yards in the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 32 yards.

Impact Achane once again served as the lead back due to Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined, but the speedy back was frequently stymied by Mike Macdonald's aggressive defense. Naturally, it didn't help Achane's cause that the Dolphins opened the game with Skylar Thompson at quarterback and finished with Tim Boyle after the former was knocked out of the contest with a rib injury. Achane will look for better results alongside whomever he shares the backfield with in a Week 4 Monday night home matchup against the Titans.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Bright spot in disappointing loss Achane rushed 22 times for 96 yards and secured all seven targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Impact Achane was the biggest part of the Dolphins' offense on a troublesome night overall that saw Tua Tagovailoa exit with a concussion late in the third quarter. Miami struggled to move the ball all night even when Tagovailoa was in the contest, with the notable exception of the majority of times it was in Achane's hands. The explosive second-year pro scored his team's only touchdown on a five-yard reception in the first quarter, and he handled a career-high 22-carry workload well in the absence of Raheem Mostert (chest). Achane also has encouragingly drawn 14 targets over the first two games and caught all of them while averaging 10.4 yards per grab. Irrespective of who's under center, the heavy usage should continue for arguably the Dolphins' best all-around offensive player in a Week 3 road matchup versus the Seahawks on Sept. 22.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Suits up Thursday Achane (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bills.

Impact Achane, who was listed as a non-participant on the Dolphins' first two posted practice reports following the team's 20-17 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, was able return to the field for Wednesday's walk-through session and was deemed a limited participant. With his active status versus Buffalo confirmed and fellow RB Raheem Mostert (chest) inactive, Achane (who carried 10 times for 24 yards and a TD and had seven catches for 76 yards against Jacksonville) should have an opportunity to play a key role in Miami's Week 2 game plan in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks. Also in the team's backfield mix Thursday are Jeff Wilson and speedy fourth-round rookie Jaylen Wright, with both players likely to mix in as Achane works through his ankle issue.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Status hinges on pregame workout Achane (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bills, will have his availability determined based on how he fares in a pregame workout, Ian Rapoport...

Impact After logging 17 touches in the Dolphins' Week 1 win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Achane was listed as a non-participant on Miami's first two practice reports released Monday and Tuesday. He returned to the field for Wednesday's walk-through practice, albeit as a limited participant. Head coach Mike McDaniel termed Achane as a game-time decision prior to the practice session, but Rapoport relays that Dolphins came away encouraged by how the running back looked Wednesday and have optimism that he plays. Official word on Achane's status -- one way or the other -- won't arrive until the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Achane gets the green light to play, he should draw the start with Raheem Mostert (chest) already ruled out, though the Dolphins may not be keen on having Achane handle a heavy workload on a short week. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright are on hand as depth options in the backfield and are likely to take on elevated roles Thursday.

Officially questionable for TNF Achane is was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice and is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Bills, Marcel Louis-...

Impact Achane has managed to upgrade to limited participation after being listed as 'DNP' on Miami's first two injury reports of the week, and Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports that the second-year running back moved well at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media. Coach Mike McDaniel called Achane a game-time decision, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, so it sounds like his status could come down to the wire. Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright look like strong candidates to handle increased backfield work Week 2, in any case. Official word on Achane's status will arrive at least 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Considered game-time decision Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Achane (ankle) is a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against the Bills and that Raheem Mostert (chest) is ruled out, Ian Rapoport o...

Impact McDaniel said "we'll see" with respect to Achane's availability for Week 2. The second-year pro has missed back-to-back practice this week, so much could hinge on how much activity he's able to handle during Wednesday's session. With Mostert ruled out, Achane could be in line to handle an expanded backfield role versus Buffalo, if he's cleared to play. Even if Achane suits up, veteran Jeff Wilson and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright will also be candidates to handle increased roles. If Achane can't go, however, Wilson and Wright will get an opportunity to lead Miami's backfield in primetime.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out walk-through practice Achane (ankle) was listed as a non-participant Tuesday in the Dolphins' walk-through practice, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Impact Miami has listed Achane as a non-participant in both of its first two Week 2 injury reports, though the team hasn't held a formal practice session following Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars. Achane carried 10 times for 24 yards and a touchdown to go with seven catches for 76 yards over his 35 snaps in the victory, so the Dolphins may be keen on building in some rest for him coming off the busy Week 1 performance. Head coach Mike McDaniel hasn't indicated that Achane's listed ankle issue is anything worrisome, though the second-year back may need to log some practice activity Wednesday to avoid taking a designation into Thursday's matchup with the Bills.
