22-Year-Old Running BackRB

2023 Fantasy Outlook
If the severely undersized Achane succeeds as a running back in the NFL then he will be the first of his type since 1997, when Warrick Dunn, at all of 176 pounds, somehow thrived as a starter. Those are long odds -- there have been other small, fast running backs since Dunn, but almost all disappointed. Then again, none of those backs was quite like Dunn, or Achane. At 5-9, 185, Achane ran a 4.32 40 at the combine, and his 100 meter times as a track athlete at Texas A&M -- similar to Tyreek Hill's times -- lend credence to the idea that his playing speed is even faster. A third-round pick, Achane isn't likely to take on huge workloads, but he reportedly was up to 192 pounds by May and planning to add more. Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson have workload limitations of their own, so Achane could get a consistent dose of jet sweeps and outside runs with pre-snap motion to get him in space and put his speed to use.

Inefficient in season-ending defeat
RBMiami Dolphins
January 13, 2024
Achane rushed six times for nine yards and secured three of six targets for 21 yards in the Dolphins' 26-7 wild-card loss to the Chiefs on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Achane flashed with a multitude of explosive plays throughout his rookie season, one he finished with 800 rushing yards, 197 receiving yards and 11 total touchdowns (eight rushing, three receiving) across 11 regular-season games. The 2023 third-round pick put together four 100-yard efforts as well and averaged a whopping 7.8 yards per carry, and come his second training camp this summer, Achane figures to be a prime contender for an appreciably larger role despite the expected return of veteran Raheem Mostert.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain lead back Saturday
RBMiami Dolphins
January 10, 2024
Achane could continue to serve as Miami's lead back in Saturday's wild-card game against the Chiefs while Raheem Mostert's status remains up in the air, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Achane has generally ceded the majority of snaps and carries to Mostert when both are healthy, but the rookie speedster handled 29 touches over the last two weeks of the regular season while Mostert was sidelined with knee and ankle injuries. Mostert was listed as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but those designations weren't very meaningful since the Dolphins held walk-through sessions both days.
