Full fade in round 2; McDaniel loss, Willis QB change, ankle risk, tanking.
Devon Achane is the first player added to the source's new 'shy away' list for 2026, a contrarian stance given that many analysts rank him higher or place him first on their boards. Multiple compounding risks outweigh his talent: (1) Loss of Mike McDaniel's play-calling design; (2) Miami's projected bottom-three offense with weak WR room (Malik Washington, Jaylen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell); (3) QB change from Tua to Malik Willis—a hyper-mobile QB who favors downfield passing and won't dump off at high rates, eliminating Achane's primary reception source; (4) Brutal playoff schedule (Broncos, Bears, Packers, Chargers, Bills from week 13 on) with likely tanking; (5) Ankle injury risk in late-season games where Miami will be down multiple scores and Achane benched. The source concludes: "Just too much risk for me taking Achane in round two. I will probably be a full fade this season." Ranked #7 (last) among Round 2 RBs.

Do you really want to attach yourself to the Miami Dolphins in round two of your draft? Probably not... Malik Willis is a hyper-mobile quarterback. He is not going to dump off at a high rate... hyper-mobile quarterbacks don't dump it off. They scramble, and then they run it... Just too much risk for me taking Achane in round two. I will probably be a full fade this season.
