2025 Outlook: De'Von Achane
2025 fantasy player outlook for De'Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins
Achane is deserving of a top 15 pick in Fantasy drafts even though he suffered a calf injury in mid-August. That's because his upside is incredible -- in 11 games with Tua Tagovailoa in 2024 he was on pace for nearly 1,800 total yards, 104 catches and 17 touchdowns. He averaged 22.6 points per game in PPR and nearly 19 points per game in half-PPR with Tua. What about his downside? It's pretty frightening -- in six games without Tagovailoa he averaged under 10 PPR points per game, albeit with pathetic quarterbacks behind a gross offensive line. Naturally, his health is the most important issue right now, and Miami says Achane will be ready for Week 1. If he's not, it seems as though rookie Ollie Gordon II will play in his place. Most Fantasy managers will pass on Achane until Round 2 when his undeniable talent overrides the risk involved in taking him. Anyone who drafts Achane should either consider taking Gordon in Round 9-plus or pad their roster depth at running back in case Achane does miss some time.
