Buy low opportunity is now. He is better and more productive playing second fiddle and not taking the bruiser role. If Tua is able to come back they will utilize him more in space where he is most productive.
Interesting and I tend to agree as an Achane Owner. However I was just offered a blockbuster include him:Buy low opportunity is now.

I don't mind that trade. Is this dynasty? Adams to Lamb is huge upgrade and I do like LaPorta over Hock. Hard to say what Hock's targets will be like coming off ACL and how he fits in to this offense. Does he go back to #2 or is he #3 on the target list.Interesting and I tend to agree as an Achane Owner. However I was just offered a blockbuster include him:Buy low opportunity is now.

I have been one of De'Von's biggest advocates but I would be unloading three major question marks in Achane's health, Adams healthy/trade likeliood and Hockenson's health coming back from a major injury.
- Trade away: Brian Robinson Jr, Achane, Adams and Hockenson
- Receive: Lamb, LaPorta and Ford
I hate selling "low" on Achane but getting Lamb and Laporta back is intriguing.

Ford is the only downside here but you gotta give up something to get something.
I think he was gonna have a pretty great game against NE too. 100% agree he's been a good buy-low this entire time Tua has been out, though the price might be getting higher the closer we are to Tua's return.Buy low opportunity is now.

With the bye week, concussion, and the mystery of Tua…it seems like the perfect time to strike.I think he was gonna have a pretty great game against NE too. 100% agree he's been a good buy-low this entire time Tua has been out, though the price might be getting higher the closer we are to Tua's return.Buy low opportunity is now.

Can they wrap him in bubble wrap until game day?Full participant in practice today.
If McDaniel wants to win games and retain his “offensive genius” status, he’ll realize that his scrub backup QBs can complete a 4 yard dump off to Achane and get decent YAC from it.It blows my mind how little Achane has been utilized in the passing game since Tua left.
You'd think with horrible QBs and being behind early you'd utilize him MORE in the passing game. Why hasn't McDaniel made it a priority to do screens and such with Achane?
- Week 1: 7 targets, 7 receptions
- Week 2: 7 targets, 7 receptions
- Week 3: 5 targets, 3 receptions
- Week 4: 3 targets, 3 receptions
- Week 5: 1 target, 1 reception
I think I’m rolling achanne over Watson but would start the other two.I think I may bench Achane. I can start JK Dobbins at RB2, and Jameson Williams, and Christian Watson instead for my Flex spots.
It's possible defenses were just swarming Achane and a dump off would go for nothing or negative gain...and probably get him killed (it did.)It blows my mind how little Achane has been utilized in the passing game since Tua left.

Watson over Achane would be especially bold I think. Watson is a candidate for 1-2 catches in any given week, but especially given the matchup against the awful Colts run defense. Hell, I'd probably have Achane ahead of Jameson Williams based on matchups this week.I think I’m rolling achanne over Watson but would start the other two.I think I may bench Achane.

I would bench him if I had the option. So yes, really concerned.I get that people that roster Achane will likely have to play Achane with injuries and byes, but anyone concerned that he's ranked as the #56 RB in ppg in ppr leagues in the games that Tua has missed?
I have Chase Brown, Mooney, and Dobbs I could start over him in full ppr. He’s in my starting lineup as of right now. Not sure what to do honestly.I would bench him if I had the option. So yes, really concerned.I get that people that roster Achane will likely have to play Achane with injuries and byes, but anyone concerned that he's ranked as the #56 RB in ppg in ppr leagues in the games that Tua has missed?
Where does Tyreek Hill rank over that same span if you don't mind me asking?I get that people that roster Achane will likely have to play him with injuries and byes, but anyone concerned that he's ranked as the #56 RB in ppg in ppr leagues in the games that Tua has missed?
WR64 based on ppg.Where does Tyreek Hill rank over that same span if you don't mind me asking?I get that people that roster Achane will likely have to play him with injuries and byes, but anyone concerned that he's ranked as the #56 RB in ppg in ppr leagues in the games that Tua has missed?
I bet it's nowhere near the Top 20-25

All Miami players are concerning to play without Tua. It is not good captain. But alas I'm likely starting him for the reasons you mention (byes and injuries).I get that people that roster Achane will likely have to play him with injuries and byes, but anyone concerned that he's ranked as the #56 RB in ppg in ppr leagues in the games that Tua has missed?
I'm starting Hill as well. :(Where does Tyreek Hill rank over that same span if you don't mind me asking?I get that people that roster Achane will likely have to play him with injuries and byes, but anyone concerned that he's ranked as the #56 RB in ppg in ppr leagues in the games that Tua has missed?

I don't know if McDaniel was trying to do a rope a dope, but this week he indicated they hope to have Tua back at some point this season (but did not give a timeline). That sounds a lot longer term than next week.One more week and maybe Tua is back? Then everyone rejoices
I read that as being due to him being on IR and in concussion protocol -- he can't play until he's cleared protocol, and he can't progress through the protocol until he's off IR. McDaniel also stated at the beginning they didn't want to put any timeline/pressure on Tua returning. For better or worse, I would be surprised if Tua doesn't play Week 8.I don't know if McDaniel was trying to do a rope a dope, but this week he indicated they hope to have Tua back at some point this season (but did not give a timeline).

Take a valium and enjoy the game.Just want to give everyone a heads up that my opponent this week is starting Achane against me so I'm guessing he will have a career day.
Use that information for what it's worth.
Sorry, I have to ask for a link.De'Von will get 1 receiving TD and 1 rushing TD this week.
I will.Take a valium and enjoy the game.Just want to give everyone a heads up that my opponent this week is starting Achane against me so I'm guessing he will have a career day.

Yeah, I was just reading up on some stuff today and maybe I was getting my hopes up a bit early.... ugh.I don't know if McDaniel was trying to do a rope a dope, but this week he indicated they hope to have Tua back at some point this season (but did not give a timeline).

Well, it’s not as if they need to worry about the QB. The Colts may get 7 sacks on Sunday just rushing 4. Achane will have a big play or two.Yeah, I was just reading up on some stuff today and maybe I was getting my hopes up a bit early.... ugh.I don't know if McDaniel was trying to do a rope a dope, but this week he indicated they hope to have Tua back at some point this season (but did not give a timeline).

I don't think you are. I think its about a 95% chance Tua is starting week 8.Yeah, I was just reading up on some stuff today and maybe I was getting my hopes up a bit early.... ugh.I don't know if McDaniel was trying to do a rope a dope, but this week he indicated they hope to have Tua back at some point this season (but did not give a timeline).

De’Von Achane rushed 10 times for 97 yards in the Dolphins’ Week 8 loss to the Cardinals, adding six catches for 50 yards and a touchdown.
This was everything fantasy managers could have asked for and then some in Tua Tagovailoa’s first game back. Achane opened the game with an 11-yard gain which was just his sixth rush of more than 10 yards since Tua went down in Week 2. His longest carry of the year and his first rush of over 20 yards came in the third quarter. He made multiple Arizona defenders miss on a 47-yard dash and then capped the drive with a receiving touchdown a few plays later. Achane split the backfield with Raheem Mostert, who scored two short touchdowns, but was as efficient as ever, giving fantasy managers hope that he can return to his RB1 ways going forward. He gets a date with the run-funnel Bills in Week 9.

Buy low opportunity is now. He is better and more productive playing second fiddle and not taking the bruiser role.
