Achane rushed 10 times for 25 yards while bringing in both of his targets for 13 receiving yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.
Analysis
Achane struggled in a matchup with a game script that should have benefited the winning side's starting running back. Despite the underwhelming performance, the sophomore standout remains a fantasy presence with 1,378 combined yards yards from scrimmage with 11 total touchdowns in 16 games this season. Achane will certainly be a focal point of the Dolphins' offensive attack in a matchup against the Jets next Sunday that could help push Miami into the playoffs with a victory.
Achane took 17 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown while corralling six of seven targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis
Achane took full advantage of San Francisco's porous rush defense en route to his first 100-plus yard rushing game of the season. In addition to his gaudy rushing total, the explosive back also led the Dolphins in receiving yardage Sunday. Achane had failed to eclipse the 4.0 yards per carry barometer of success for rushers in each of his last four appearances, but he absolutely crushed that mark with a 7.1 yard average against the 49ers. Backup Raheem Mostert remained involved with 10 touches, but it's Achane that fantasy managers should prefer out of Miami's backfield heading into next Sunday's tilt against Cleveland.
Achane rushed 12 times for 41 yards and brought in all seven targets for 35 yards in the Dolphins' 20-12 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also fumbled once but possession remained with Miami.
Analysis
Achane doubled up Raheem Mostert in carries and finished with his highest rushing yardage total since Week 11. While Achane failed to average even 4.0 yards per carry for the fourth straight contest, he was once again heavily involved as a receiver. He's recorded at least six catches in three straight games, but he'll aim to get back on track on the ground in a Week 16 home matchup against a 49ers defense that's had trouble against the run on occasion.
Achane rushed 14 times for 24 yards and a touchdown while catching six of seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime win over the Jets.
Analysis
Achane finally opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run after mustering just one yard on three previous rushing attempts inside the 3-yard line. He later went to the medical tent to be evaluated for a concussion after taking a big hit, per CBS sideline reporter Melanie Collins, and Achane spent a significant chunk of the first half on the sideline before checking back in on Miami's final drive before halftime. He failed to find much running room but remained heavily involved as a pass catcher, as has been customary when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa plays. Heading into a Week 15 trip to Houston, Achane has racked up at least six receptions in six of Tagovailoa's nine starts this season.
Achane rushed seven times for 14 yards and brought in eight of nine targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 30-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday.
Analysis
Achane's final rushing line speaks to both how difficult it was to find running room and how little an opportunity he got in that regard due to game script. The Dolphins were down 24-3 by halftime, so Achane's biggest contributions were as a receiver. The versatile back finished second on the Dolphins in receptions and tied for second in targets, with the latter figure also setting a new season high. Achane's workload on the ground marked the end of a six-game streak of double-digit carries, but he should have a chance to get back to his typical volume in a Week 14 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 8.
Achane rushed 10 times for 32 yards and brought in three of four targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 34-15 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis
Achane surprisingly found running room at a premium against a Patriots team that had struggled against opposing ground attacks all season, but he made up for it with the second multi-TD receiving effort of his career. Achane found the end zone from nine and 11 yards out exactly six minutes apart in the second quarter, his fourth and fifth touchdowns over the last four games. Achane figures to be in for another busy workday when the Dolphins travel to Lambeau Field to face off with the Packers in a Thanksgiving Night showdown Thursday.
Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 32 yards in the Dolphins' 34-19 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis
Achane once again served as the clear lead back and also held down a solid pass-catching role, netting another productive afternoon for the explosive second-year back. Achane's two-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter was his third score on the ground this season and sixth overall, and he now has a robust 24 receptions in his last four games alone. Achane will next do battle with a vulnerable Patriots run defense in a Week 12 home matchup.
Achane rushed 12 times for 37 yards and secured all five targets for 15 yards in the Dolphins' 23-15 win over the Rams on Monday night.
Analysis
Achane was stymied on the ground by a Rams defense that had frequently struggled stopping the run, and although he remained a big part of the air attack, his receiving yardage total was his lowest in any game this season with at least five receptions. His backfield mate Raheem Mostert notably did not log any carries Monday night while Jaylen Wright recorded a modest five rush attempts, further confirming that Achane seems to be in control of the ground game heading into a Week 11 home matchup against the Raiders.
Achane rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
Analysis
Achane gave the Dolphins a 10-3 lead with a 14-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, and he added an eight-yard rushing score in the fourth. He finished with 20 touches to Raheem Mostert's 12, as Achane was much more active as a pass catcher. Achane has at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in all four games started by Tua Tagovailoa this season, so the second-year running back profiles as a strong Week 10 fantasy option against the Rams on MNF.
