Just as with McCaffrey, the problem with Achane isn't his talent—the fourth-year pro topped 1,800 total yards, scored a dozen touchdowns and was fifth in PPR points at running back in 2025. The issue is that the Dolphins have a legitimate shot at having the NFL's worst record in 2026. The best wide receiver on the team may well be Malik Washington. Hello stacked fronts. And negative game scripts. Add in missed time in two of three seasons and offseason shoulder surgery, and you have a situation where there are a lot of things that could potentially go wrong—too many to draft Achane ahead of the likes of Omarion Hampton of the Chargers or Saquon Barkley of the Eagles.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Achane's elite production masked by Dolphins' projected worst record and injury history.

Despite strong 2025 production (1,800+ total yards, 12 touchdowns, fifth in PPR points at RB), Achane is overvalued because the Dolphins face a legitimate shot at the NFL's worst record in 2026, creating stacked fronts and negative game scripts; add missed time in two of three seasons and offseason shoulder surgery, making him a riskier pick than alternatives like Omarion Hampton or Saquon Barkley.
