Back-end round two ranking due to Miami's poor offensive environment and quarterback fit concerns. Speaker worries that Malik Willis will not target Achane in the passing game despite his elite receiving skills; Tua Tagovailoa dumped off frequently to running backs, but Willis as a mobile quarterback under pressure tends to run rather than check down. Without Mike McDaniel's play-calling and Tua's passing tendencies, Achane's target share is at risk. Vegas projects Miami for 4.5 wins; speaker expects fewer than five wins. Achane needs explosive plays to return value, but those are unpredictable year-to-year even for elite backs. Red zone touchdown distribution is uncertain with new coaching staff and Ali Gordon in the mix.PositiveUsageJul 16, 2026
Achane will be very involved in the Dolphins offense and will benefit from dump-off passes in the second-half pass-heavy schemes when Miami trails.PositiveUsageJul 16, 2026
De'Von Achane will be very involved in Miami's offense and will benefit from dump-offs in an offense expected to trail and pass heavily in the second half.NegativeValueJun 29, 2026
Ranked eighth overall on the source's draft board in the first-round tier. Source notes Achane was part of a strong running back class last year alongside CMC, Bijan, Gibbs, and JT.PositiveValueJun 9, 2026
Currently going off the board as RB7 (first-round ADP), but Deebo Samuel projects mid-late second to early third-round value based on Miami's situation change. Last year Achane was end of second/early third and could return first-round value; this year the inverse is true—first-round investment likely yields second/third-round output. Deebo Samuel cites system fit concerns: Mike McDaniel departure removes the coach who optimized Achane's unique skill set (similar to how Kyle Shanahan maximizes Deebo Samuel); new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik (from Houston) did not prioritize the run game; Malik Willis as mobile QB will check down far less than Tua Tagovailoa, reducing Achane's target volume; Miami's bottom-five offensive line, 4.5-win projection, and weak receiver room (no Tyreek Hill, no Jaylen Waddle) create a low-volume, low-efficiency offense. Deebo Samuel expects touchdown numbers to plummet and overall targets to decline significantly.PositiveInjuryDec 10, 2025
Rashad White ranks Devon Achane as a must-start in Week 15 on Monday Night Football vs. Pittsburgh despite rib injuries. White assesses the injury as not overly serious and expects Achane to suit up with the benefit of extra rest, though the coaching staff may manage his workload and allow Jaylen Wright increased touches.
