Davis Mattek projects De'Von Achane in the range of 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns, drawing a comparison to Jamal Charles's 2012 season when the Chiefs won three games without Alex Smith. Achane is the smart move over Bowers at the draft slot despite concerns about the Dolphins being a bad team; he's the prototypical player to have on a bad offense because his production doesn't depend on team quality—he will get volume regardless. Tua Tagovailoa's checkdown tendencies were very good for Achane, and Malik Willis as a running QB should make things easier for him.

Source transcript excerpt
Jamal Charles's last year playing without Alex Smith. The Chiefs won three games and he had 1500 yards and 10 touchdowns, which is like it's probably what Achan's going to be in that range... He's the prototypical. Like you would not build a better guy to be on a bad team than Han.
