RB De’Von Achane, MIA (2 Viewers)

[Todem]

Would think Ahmed and Wilson are in the mix as well.

Ahmed was looking great before he strained his groin....but I hear he is healthy. Brooks is a banger....and a much better looking back than Wilson IMO in this scheme.

I expect Ahmed to get work before either of them if healthy. He is fast too.

 

[N Zone]

Is there any official word on what is really wrong with Achane's knee? Not from the dipsh!t doctor fantasy guy that initially thought it was an ankle sprain.

 

[TommyKramer9]

A little surprising there is no official word yet.

News broke yesterday on J. Jefferson and J. Conner.

Not sure if this is a good or a bad sign.

Also surprised Achane owners aren't screaming bloody murder that their league winner may be out a while.

Oh I have been

I'm well into the 12 steps of grief by now.

I have Jefferson and Achane so it’s 24 steps of grief.

Achane, Saquon and Aaron Jones here

So it'll be Kyren Williams and flexing WR/TE for a bit

Same for me

I'll join the pity party...Achane, Jefferson, Richardson and Amon Ra on the same roster. Week 5 was not a pretty week, but at least it looks like Amon Ra won't be long term.

Nope.

>>De’Von Achane to IR confirms Mike McDaniel. McDaniel says it’s “not grave” but he’s not going to directly say if it’s correct to call it a “sprain.” McDaniel also declining multiple surgery questions.<<

Achane was walking gingerly and with a brace ... that's what I gathered from multiple sources.

Stashing Brooks everywhere that I can.

Dammit, why cant we have nice things..... What's the move to snag a piece of this backfield, Ahmed or Brooks for now?

Brooks is the move

Can someone share any links or guidance driving this Brooks > Wilson stance? First I'm seeing this stuff.

Check out the Brooks thread. UDFA Brooks had a great preseason, big 3-down back, bigger and younger than Wilson. He had some very good carries in the DEN route (like everyone), some nice blocks in the NYG win. He's also healthy, whereas Wilson's 21-day window just opened, so we don't know if he'll even be active this week. However, if Wilson is active, he should be #2 behind Mostert as he's trusted by the coach.

Yeah what he said. I know he leaped Ahmed a while ago. I just feel he is better than Wilson at this point and from reading the tea leaves and going w my gut, Brooks is the guy to get.

I laughed at this post or am chuckling along with you because I actually watch the team every snap and I'm not sure where all this Brooks love is coming from.
He's thrown some amazing blocks to free up these other backs, I'm not sure you want to start having him be the lead RB
Mostert and Wilson are pretty fast, I love good ole fashioned smash mouth football but let's look at the boy genius head coach
Coach McD likes to play with his toys in the sandbox.

-I can share what I think the script will be, you have Hill and Waddle at your disposal, an MVP candidate at QB, yeah let's write a game script up for 3rd string RB...
-Let's use our heads here, McD is going to try and throw his way to 5-1 or at least get a big lead at Hard Rock and then maybe he'll pound it a little more in the 2nd Half

No Miami RB is going to eclipse 10-12 carries this coming weekend, IMHO.
There's not another Achane on this roster so i wouldn't burn a lot of time over thinking this one.

I might be in the minority on this one but that's never bothered me.

I hear ya. I've just rostered Wilson over the years. For being a "very fast guy" his YPC is kind of all over the place, so that tells me he has poor vision, and I feel he's a JAG, a proven JAG at this point.

YPC by year:

2018 4.0 (Mostert had 7.7 same year same team, SF)
2019 3.9 (Mostert had 5.6 same year same team, SF)
2020 4.8 (Mostert had 5.0......)
2021 3.7 (mostert hurt this year all year basically)
2022 4.9 (Mostert 4.9 also)

So I get what you are saying, I just hope you feel me on this. I just don't trust Jeff Wilson to either stay healthy, or to be consistent. I might be wrong, I'm just hedging toward the younger unproven guy that seemed to have a lot of camp fanfare.

WIlson isn't available in any of my leagues, unfortunately. His tape looks good and I'm desperate. lol

 

[Smack Tripper]

In my main league, lost Archane, stashing brooks and Ahmed to see if we learn anything from usage. They’re straight lottery tickets to me but lottery with upside given the injury history of the “lead” guys

 

[zamboni]

Every time this thread gets bumped I’m hoping for good news about Achane or bracing myself that he’s having season ending surgery.

Yet invariably becomes about Wilson/Ahmed.

Sounds like strained MCL but they’re being coy about it. And with him on the shelf for 4 weeks, I guess there is no rush/need to divulge.

Dolphins’ RB De’Von Achane is likely to miss only four games and return for Miami’s Week 11 game vs. the Raiders, per league source. Achane enters this week as the NFL’s second-leading rusher with 360 yards, despite having only 38 carries. The 38 carries rank outside the top-35 in the NFL.

[Bad_Mo2]

Anyone targeting Achane in a trade?

Anyone targeting Achane in a trade?

As a Mostert owner, I'd like to.

Looking at various trade value charts his price would appear to still be sky high.

 

[Loipz]

Anyone targeting Achane in a trade?

The leagues I don’t have him in, owners said not for sale.

 

[leftcoastheel]

I have him and Mostert. You couldn't pry him from my cold, dead kung fu grip.

 

[Stat Correction]

Anyone targeting Achane in a trade?

Only managed one successful trade to acquire him. Pollard and Aiyuk for Achane and J. Chase

 

[zoonation]

How much longer do we have to wait for this little bundle of joy? Week 11?

 

[Bad_Mo2]

I have him and Mostert. You couldn't pry him from my cold, dead kung fu grip.

I drafted him as a flier. Dropped him to grab Mostert after Week 1 or 2. Kid went ballistic and no chance of getting him back. Have an offer in which may be accepted.

 

[Bad_Mo2]

That's the latest...back after their Week 10 bye.

 

[Bad_Mo2]

Done deal...received Achane and Kincaid for Najee and Pickens. Big Pitt fan owner.

That is highway robbery.

I thought I would be able to hold, but after losing the past two weeks I traded him for Addison.

Trade offer was before Kincaid's play last night. I have Mostert so want to cover bases. I do kinda of feel bad now.

Interesting to see if he returns to how he was playing.

 

[Bad_Mo2]

Interesting to see if he returns to how he was playing.

Even if he is half as good, he'd be putting up CMC numbers. Curious why there hasn't been much about the injury - sprained MCL maybe? Maybe they are just keeping him under wraps for end of the season run...?

Would you be brave enough to trade CMC for him?

Not a good move strategically. CMC is not in a time share and Miami plays the NYJ twice.

I own zero shares. I'm just here for the ride. Having said that, i wouldn't move McCaffrey for him. I know most would in this thread, but I like to win now and worry about next year next year. McCaffrey at 27, still has tread left

LOL at playing NYJ twice if Achane is toting the rock. Jets will be playing for nothing and have no answer for Achane.

Lot of confidence for a guy that hasn't played in a few weeks.

Also think there is a non-zero chance that this Ferrari of a RB needs to operate at 100%. Anything less, and it's back in the garage.

NYJs D is no joke. And Miami doesn't play Denver's run D every week.

I think you'll see teams more prepared for this running attack during the 2nd half of the season.

In short, swapping CMC for Achane is idiotic.

I wouldn't either, just getting a pulse on how far the hype on Achane is getting

Pleasantly surprised. The tone in this thread has been Achane is the next greatest rb of all time.

 

[Football Jones]

I’d definitely take a look at moving CMC for Achane in the offseason.

It would be with the caveat that Achane looks good when he returns & puts up strong numbers. If so, I probly make that deal.

 

[Football Jones]

Now, whether Achane can look good enough & put up top numbers the rest of the way, I’m not sure.

 

[zamboni]

A luckluster Dolphins offense today is what you want to see as an Achane owner. Will be more incentive by the coaching staff to get him more involved right away to provide that spark.

 

[Faust]

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said, “so far, so good” when asked about De’Von Achane’s (knee) recovery and chances of returning in Week 11.

The Dolphins are heading into their Week 10 bye, but the initial prognosis on Achane was he would “likely” miss only four games and be ready to go by Week 11. Fantasy managers certainly hope that’s the case, as Achane was in the midst of a nuclear fantasy output prior to going down in Week 5. The third-round rookie has rushed for 460 yards and five touchdowns on 38 carries, averaging an abnormal 12.1 yards per carry. We’ll see how things look after the bye, but we’d expect Achance to be ready to go come Week 11.

I own Achane in dynasty and I’m not sure I’d take CMC for him. My team is getting old (Henry, Saquon, Kupp, Adams are my core). I need to get younger, and I love what I’ve seen from Achane. I’m not sure taking CMC for him at this point makes sense.

 

[LawFitz]

Luv him. Bless him to good health ROS. Dude is the second most electric player in the league, a close second behind only his Freak teammate.

 

[Football Jones]

Gotta be super-high on Achane right now, but it’s possible he’s way overrated at this point.

We really don’t know what he is right now. Still a huge range of outcomes. We’ll know a lot more after the season.

 

[dickey moe]

This kid can't get back soon enough.

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Gotta be super-high on Achane right now, but it’s possible he’s way overrated at this point.

We really don’t know what he is right now. Still a huge range of outcomes. We’ll know a lot more after the season.

He's the most explosive RB in the league on an offense that fits and schemes to his strengths to a T. That's who he is.

His ability to stay healthy, ANY RBs ABILITY TO STAY HEALTHY, is always a question.

His blazing speed and quick moves in the hole coupled with semi-light usage is likely to yield more eye-popping weeks but also some disappointments. He's the perfect RB#2 or flex if you have depth because he can singlehandedly win you a game any given week even if his performance is likely to be highly volatile.
