I think it could be injury or talent. At a minimum, he'll be part of a committee that I suspect will use the RBs more, both as runners and receivers than what we saw last season.
ESPN ON ACHANE - WHO IS ON DRUGS, ME OR THEM?
- Thread starter phinsforlife
- Start date
With 18 receptions, for less than 150 yds last year, I doubt it.
Anyway, I was speaking, specifically, of hot reads with a free blitzer as it pertains to the slot position. Getting separation on a normal play is a different story.
Apparently McD is one those that fell in love and glorified Achane.
Something tells me I will be collecting on my bet soon! LFG!!!! :)

That didn’t age well did it? Whoever projected that is a damn fool…ESPNs projected receiving stats for Achane this year in total. Seems to me he is more likely to do this is one game than one year. Achane is not to be found in their top 5 rookie rushers. They have the 5th place rookie at 300 yards on the ground and 2 TDs:
Running back receiving yards and touchdowns
1. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions: 379 yards, 2 TDs
2. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: 376 yards, 2 TDs
3. Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks: 187 yards, 1 TD
4. Devon Achane, Miami Dolphins: 142 yards, 1 TD
5. Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals: 139 yards, 1 TD
Who will be the best NFL rookies this season? We projected the top five performers in eight stat areas
Let's predict which rookies could lead the NFL in TDs, yards, tackles and interceptions in 2023. How do top draft picks stack up?www.espn.com
the chris brooks kid didnt look half bad either.

I was smart enough to draft him, but also had him on the bench for this game.
Why wouldn’t I? He didn’t play in game one and only played a small factor last week.
But I’ll have in the lineup going forward. Especially after losing Nick Chubb for the season, Achane could provide my fantasy team with a lifeboat. I also picked up and played Zach Moss this week.
Yup I will be starting Achane too, although Buffalo will be tough. BTW amazing Chubb only tore his ACL, if you saw the replay it looked much worse than that. Fantasy is so tough because of the injuries. Sadly not much skill left to it anymore either, because everyone has the same cheat sheets. So it often comes down to injuries, and just random luck week to week. In the old days, without the cheat sheets and computers, it was much more interesting
how do you pronounce the kids name? is it A-Chain (this is what they were doing on the broadcast), or A-kane? Or just TD?
