Footballguys on De'Von Achane
From the article
Achane may have earned 1,700 yards from scrimmage last year on a bad offense, but the system was still steeped in a diverse ground game that was the strength of the scheme...Achane is a fine back, but the McDaniel scheme elevated the ground game as much as Achane, and the declining efficiencies will make Achane an overpriced option relative to his peers.
STACKED’s take
Achane's receiving production will halve due to Willis's play style; overpriced for first-round value.
Matt Waldman argues Achane is overpriced relative to peers despite earning 1,700 yards from scrimmage last year. The concern: Miami's passing game will improve with Malik Willis, reducing defensive focus on the run and eliminating the diverse blocking schemes that elevated Achane's production. Willis will run more, read fewer progressions, and check down less, rendering Achane a decoy in the passing game. Waldman expects Achane to earn fewer than 55 targets (half his two-year average) and 1,100–1,300 receiving yards, with only 50–150 receiving yards beyond occasional throwbacks. The McDaniel scheme elevated the ground game as much as Achane did; declining efficiencies will make him an overpriced first-round option.
