In his rookie season of 2023, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was nothing short of electrifying. His per-touch efficiency was unprecedented, setting a new benchmark that no other player has approached. He averaged an astonishing 7.8 yards per carry, amassing 800 yards on just 103 touches. To put this into perspective, Josh Jacobs, who finished one spot above Achane for the season, rushed for 805 yards but needed 233 carries to do so.
Achane played in just 11 games, although his participation was more limited in reality, as he had only one carry in two of those games, effectively bringing his active game count closer to nine. His 188-pound frame presents a higher risk for injury, which was evident during his rookie season. Despite these challenges, he managed to finish the season strong.
In addition to his rushing prowess, Achane was quietly effective in the receiving game, catching 27 passes over his 11 regular season contests. While this number is not particularly eye-catching, it is significant given that he never fully assumed the role of a bell-cow back and shared snaps in nearly every game. If Achane sees more playing time this season, his utilization in both the running and passing game could sustain a high fantasy points per game average, even if his efficiency naturally declines.
Historically, players with outlier per-carry efficiency, such as Chris Johnson or Jamaal Charles, are extraordinarily rare, and maintaining such extraordinary performance is nearly impossible. Achane's rookie season stands out as an exceptional case, and while he offers immense upside and could be a league-winner, there is an inherent risk due to his injury history and smaller frame.
Fantasy managers considering Achane should also hedge their bet by investing in a more stable, less injury-prone running back to complement him. This strategy balances the high-risk, high-reward potential that Achane brings to the table, ensuring a more secure lineup.

 Raheem Mostert Out Week 2, Achane game-time decision
Miami getting thin in running back room
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 11, 10:43 am
|  | #Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is out Thursday night vs the #Bills. As for RB De'Von Achane (ankle), he’s a game-time decision. “We’ll see.” (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Dolphins will have their running back depth tested this Thursday night against the Bills. Jeff Wilson was active last week and expect rookie Jaylen Wright to make his NFL debut after being Inactive in Week 1. Achane will be the back to own but he may not get a full workload on the short week if he plays. If he sits, expect Wilson and Wright to share touches.
