RB De’Von Achane, MIA (2 Viewers)

[msudaisy26]

He's an elite fantasy back. So many people continue to doubt him.

Does anyone really doubt him? He was a late first early second round pick and the only running backs going ahead of him are on good teams with good offenses. Switch teams with Barkley, Gibbs , Bijan, CmC and he would be in discussion for first overall pick.

Achane looked pretty good despite the modest production. Good volume at 19 touches. I love the screens in 1/2 PPR. He looks like he could break for a long TD at any time.

There was considerable doubt on Achane leading up to drafts, at least more than there should have been. The leg injury was getting so blown up with people comparing him to CMC of last year. Then were was the fact Gordon looked good in preseason and people were panicking. Add in the fact Tua's health can't be relied on and Achane was deemed one of the riskiest picks in the draft.

I agree if Achane was on a competent O then he'd be a top 3-5 selection all day.

Like I said earlier I wish he was taking those nice 10-15 yard gains to the house like he did when he first got on the scence.

I wonder how much of this has to do with Hill and Waddle not being great blockers outside? At least the Dolphins OL looked more capable last night. That should bode well for him.

I am guilty of that doubt. But most of my trepidation was related to Tua & his health issues along with Hill’s turbulent presence & decline.
Recently became a shareholder in an offer I could not refuse. The total volume of touches is nice. But Tua looked flustered vs Buff.
The upcoming schedule looks soft (excluding LAC) so maybe there is more offensive explosive plays forthcoming

Great for PPR .. I tried to acquire Achane in dynasty yesterday and was told I needed to give up Njigba, Flowers, and Bill. While my team is deep enough to do that deal, I couldn't believe the asking price.

King of the dump off passes

No Hill is going to give Achane even more looks in the passing game.

 

[The Frankman]

De’Von Achane had 16 rushes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins’ Week 6 loss against the Chargers, adding four catches for 22 yards.

Achane continues to find ways to survive the train wreck that is the Miami offense. He now has six touchdowns and continues operating as the team’s No. 2 pass catcher behind Jaylen Waddle. Against the Chargers, Achane put his astounding speed on display a few times in the second half, including on a 49-yard rush and a sprint to the corner of the end zone inside the ten yard line. Ollie Gordon, meanwhile, had two rushes for one yard against LA. Achane is one of the game’s few game script-proof running backs. He’ll be a top-10 play in Week 7 against the Browns.

Finally broke off a long one. And made it look so easy.

Not exactly sure why he doesn't break a 50+ yarder each and every week. He has that special ability.

 

[FarFromHome]

This guys ability is to the moon. The problem is durabilty, coaching, bad offensive line, maybe that, coaching.. Did I say coaching twice?
