RB Devon Achane, MIA (1 Viewer)

[SoBeDad]

Adam Hutchinson, the PT linked above, said likely AC joint sprain, out 2-3 weeks. Per video.

 

[FFWhiskey]

I think he'll be a killer in PPR leagues. Dude is going to catch a ton of passes in garbage time / end of halves.


Have him rostered as my RB3/FLEX in a few leagues. McKissic on steroids, imo. He will be a fine bye week filler. In non-PPR, I wouldn't have much interest.

Scratch this, I didn't realize he got hurt today. Well that certainly doesn't bode well for the argument of all these little guys that were drafted this year being too small.


Seriously, between Vaughn, Downs, Addison, Achene, and Dell I can't remember a draft class of skill players being so diminutive.

Think this was the play

I'm following Adam Hutchinson now. Achane also got slammed on his right shoulder on the 20 yard run earlier in the game. Could've been a penalty.

Yeah seems like 2 plays that went past the whistle. Hopefully won’t be a big issue. Maybe he needed to poop in a hurry

I’ve never had to poop so bad that I needed a cart.

Don't forget Zay Flowers. And also Jahmyr Gibbs. Just don't tell the board that.

3’7” is incredibly small for a QB.

Remember when Paul Pierce took a wheelchair to the locker room because he had to drop a deuce? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

“As for Achane, yeah, I think too many are getting carried away too quickly — despite his obvious high-end potential — and a lot of that has to do with stories that came out after Jaylen Waddle had some glowing remarks about him, the kind of remarks you hear all the time from players about young teammates.”

Is he hurt or not?

 

[Loipz]

Is he hurt or not?

Dolphins did indeed confirm he hurt his shoulder.

 

[JohnnyU]

Has there been a notable RB his size? Wrong question.

Has there been a notable RB this fast?

Warwick Dunn?

 

[JohnnyU]

His mom should’t have let the little guy play football. It’s too dangerous of a sport for runts

What slot are you drafting out of? And your draft starts on Tuesday at four?

Still waiting on word of the injury specifics. Rookie draft coming up in 51 hours.

That's an oddly specific number. I picture the clock counting down in CSU while Jack Bauer is out in the field stabbing some rando tied to a chair in the thigh with spoon yelling "GIVE ME ACHANE'S MRI!!! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!"

 

[eighsse2]

Rookie draft coming up in 51 hours.

What slot are you drafting out of? And your draft starts on Tuesday at four?

Well technically I'm the 10 slot but I've traded picks all over the place, so I have the #1, #8, #9, #11, #13, #18, #19, #20, and #34 if I cut Trey Sermon tonight, which I am pretty certain I will.

I ... may have overdone the pick collecting thing but I definitely held onto most of my best guys. Wish I could have Mixon and Aaron Jones back instead of the #8 and #9.

The draft starts Tuesday at 7:00 my time (EST).

 

[rockaction]

That's a lot points right there, but if you're rebuilding or thinking about rebuilding, then it's probably for the best. They're getting long in the tooth.

The draft starts Tuesday at 7:00 my time (EST).

I have a slow draft that starts Tuesday also. 1.06, 2.06, 3.06, etc. Ten-team league where I made the playoffs but have a crappy team. The worst kind of hope is false hope. I generally use that league to draft guys that I want regardless of anything. I have no idea who I'm targeting this time around. I'm just going value.

But back to the topic: It won't be De'Von Achane that I take at the 1.06 or 2.06. He's pretty much a DND for me at that slot and at the value he'll go at. I hate his size. He's already got a sprained AC joint, which can happen to anyone, but his size couldn't have helped. That's an impact injury, one that comes from force rather than any rotation or cuff. Anyway, I was going to be cheeky and tell you no matter where you draft, it's never a good idea to take Achane, but that's a) flippant b) not true.

Good luck!

That's a lot points right there, but if you're rebuilding or thinking about rebuilding, then it's probably for the best. They're getting long in the tooth.

I'm the "evergreen" strategy guy, so it's not exactly rebuilding. Like I said, those are two I eish I could have back. The thing is, I traded Jones in-season for that pick which I expected to be very high (#2 if lucky which would have been a jackpot). The guy scored the second fewest points, but ended up in the semifinals = #9 pick. Mixon for the #8 though (I also gave uo the #22 there), it was after the menacing charges got dropped (before they were refiled), but I was still just like "whoa, I want to love Mixon, as a Bengals fan, but things are looking weird, I need to get what I can get".

I generally use that league to draft guys that I want regardless of anything. I have no idea who I'm targeting this time around. I'm just going value.

I will likely take him at my #8/#9 spot if he makes it there, but I expect him to be off the board.
But yeah, going value is almost always best I think.

Good luck to you as well!

[rockaction]

Oh, you're the one with the RB-crazy league. This year there will be tons of reaches, including Achane at eight or nine.

Yes, that's a reach as far as I'm concerned. But for your league

Robinson
Gibbs
Charbonnet
Miller
Achane
R. Johnson
Bigsby

Then you

Spears?
Tucker?
Who?

Spears and Smith-Njigba would be my picks there. Would be very happy with Spears. I do get the concern, but he seems really good.

ETA: And yes, you're correct, we're nutso over here, but that's largely due to starting lineup of QRRWWFKD. WR just too easy to come by. I'd be lying if I said I had analytics to show the true value of RB vs WR though.

So, just to be clear. What is the distiction between who you "like" and who you "would take"? You mean in a vacuum you like all of those guys' talent over Achane, but due to situation and circumstances, Achane would slot in after Bigsby in your actual draft list?

I'd be lying if I said I had analytics to show the true value of RB vs WR though.

You could simply use the customizable trade value chart that FBG does. Get a look at it. I almost guarantee you that WRs are more valuable than you think and that reaching for fourth-round RBs or UDFAs is just a bad idea in the first round of a rookie draft.

So at your mention of it I searched for it just now. But all I found was by Dan Hindery in 2021 with 2021 values. Is it because I'm not a subscriber? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

 

[rockaction]

Is it because I'm not a subscriber?

Yeah, you need to subscribe.

Are you PPR and how many teams are there? Superflex or no?

 

[eighsse2]

Is it because I'm not a subscriber?

Yeah, you need to subscribe.

Are you PPR and how many teams are there? Superflex or no?

PPR, 12 teams, 1QB. No TE spot, just a flex. I might just subscribe. Would be a good time to do it if I ever do.

 

[rockaction]

PPR, 12 teams, 1QB. No TE spot, just a flex. I might just subscribe. Would be a good time to do it if I ever do.

I'd recommend it if you have the disposable income. It's spitting out something hinky for your settings, though. It's got QBs up the yin, which may indeed be correct, considering you only start six position players. But it does indeed have 6 RBs before you even get to Justin Jefferson.

As for rookies, it's also RB heavy, though not as heavy as RB-RB-RB-RB-RB. JSN is actually rated fifth. But the quarterbacks sneaking in there surprised me.

Anyway, back to Achane.

 

[Ilov80s]

Still waiting on word of the injury specifics. Rookie draft coming up in 51 hours.

Yeah I was hoping we would get MRI results today. I would assume they say something tomorrow.

I think he'll be a killer in PPR leagues. Dude is going to catch a ton of passes in garbage time / end of halves.


Have him rostered as my RB3/FLEX in a few leagues.

Don't think Miami will have THAT much garbage time... they should be in a lot of close games. End of Halves I don't see it either. Take a knee or air it out, not a lot of consecutive short passes happening end of halves.

Damn, I'd be TERRIFIED if he was my Flex. Dude is ranked RB40-45 across most sites and a Round 11/12 pick usually.

Scratch this, I didn't realize he got hurt today. Well that certainly doesn't bode well for the argument of all these little guys that were drafted this year being too small.


Seriously, between Vaughn, Downs, Addison, Achene, and Dell I can't remember a draft class of skill players being so diminutive.

Was all over Achane before the Draft as noted earlier in the thread and wished my Phins would take him, didn't think he'd make it until Pick No 84 and then come to find out Coach MM loves this kid and had been friends with him or in contact with him for some time.

-I don't think Achane suffered major injury, but maybe it delays him a couple weeks into the season before he gets rolling, only makes him cheaper as a flyer late on Draft Day. I wouldn't shy away from him just yet.

I like Dell a lot in Houston, he looked great this past week vs Miami.
Guess we're gonna players we agree on along the way

It just tells you where the NFL is headed. Don't get left behind.

He could be inactive to start the season, no need to play him until he's 100%. Upthread, a PT thought it was a 2-3 week recovery.

>>De’Von Achane (shoulder) is week to week and avoided anything severe per Mike McDaniel.<<

https://twitter.com/schadjoe/status/1693655214455157054?s=20

 

[Faust]

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said RB De’Von Achane (shoulder) could return “sooner rather than later.”

McDaniel expects Achane to practice the week leading up to the Dolphins’ Week 1 matchup against the Chargers. This seems like good news for the Dolphins, who just placed running back Jeff Wilson (core/finger) on injured reserve, as he’s now scheduled to miss at least the next four games. If he’s active, Achane should work behind Raheem Mostert and could serve as the team’s primary third-down back.

 

[Faust]

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane (shoulder) returned to practice.

As expected, Achane returned to practice on Monday, and shed the red non-contact jersey he was seen wearing last week. The Dolphins rookie running back could be in line for a big role out of the gate when they face the Chargers in Week 1, after Jeff Wilson (core/finger) was placed on injured reserve late last week. Fantasy managers should temper expectations for Achane this week, but monitor his usage closely to get a better sense of what we could expect from him the following week.

Dolphins RB Devon Achane (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Achane’s Week 1 availability was a concern after the rookie running back suffered a shoulder injury in late August, an injury that resulted in a week-to-week designation at the time. Already expected to receive the lion’s share of the passing-down work for the Dolphins, Achane could soak up additional work early in the season after Jeff Wilson’s placement on injured reserve.

Nice to see he's over the shoulder injury. I dropped Gainwell for him in a PPR league. I think he's going to have a few highlight reel plays this year (hopefully many).
