News: 3 days agoAchane rushed 20 times for 74 yards while catching three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.

Spin: Achane racked up 23 touches after touching the ball 11 times in Week 1, but the speedster has struggled to find running room while consistently facing stacked boxes. He is averaging a meager 3.5 yards per rushing attempt heading into a Week 3 home game against the Chiefs, which is a departure from Achane's excellent efficiency in previous seasons, as he averaged 5.7 yards per carry last season and has a career mark of 5.6 YPC. Defenses are daring Malik Willis and Miami's underwhelming wide-receiver room to beat them, and Miami's offense hasn't been up to the task during the team's 0-2 start.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Achane has quickly staked his claim as one of the best running backs in the league. The 2023 third-round pick has scored either 11 or 12 touchdowns in each of his three seasons and put up a career-high 1,838 scrimmage yards in 2025. Achane's elite receiving production is nothing new (he has finished in the top five among backs in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two years), but he made another leap forward as a rusher last season, finishing fifth at the position in rushing yards. His 5.62 yards per carry is best among qualified backs since he entered the league. The 24-year-old is eyeing his third straight top-five fantasy campaign, and while that might be tricky in an overhauled Miami offense led by quarterback Malik Willis, Achane has minimal competition for touches and should easily be the offensive centerpiece. He's a solid RB1 option.
