NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Devon Achane had a 16-yard back-shoulder catch in the fourth quarter overturned by an illegal use of hands penalty that was unrelated to the play's success.PositiveUsageSep 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Devon Achane as the RB7 for Week 1 against the Raiders, expressing confidence in the Dolphins' offense. Hartitz is high on Achane's fantasy outlook, citing his high snap-share potential and noting he is one of the few running backs who consistently stays on the field, which should help him overcome potential offensive inefficiencies.NegativeBustAug 20, 2026
Incredible talent but a round two fade for Ian Hartitz; the Dolphins offense is expected to be poor, and Achane will need high volume to succeed; QB Malik Willis does not check down under pressure like Tua Tagovailoa did, instead taking off and running, which limits checkdown targets to Achane.NegativeBustAug 15, 2026
Ian Hartitz views Devon Achane as a risky first-round pick due to the potential for a worsening Dolphins offense and a projected decrease in pass-game volume, specifically citing Malik Willis's high scramble rate as a negative factor for check-down opportunities compared to Tua Tagovailoa.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Devon Achane is recognized as a top-tier running back, consistently drafted in the top 12. Ian Hartitz notes the Dolphins' $52 million investment in him suggests a significant role, though the exact backfield split remains uncertain.NegativeProjectionJul 16, 2026
The analyst will have zero shares of Achane in the second round due to concerns about his situation change with the new coaching staff and quarterback.PositiveRoleJul 16, 2026
Achane benefited from high target shares due to Tua Tagovailoa's limitations, but with Malik Willis replacing Tua as a rushing quarterback and Mike McDaniel being replaced, his target share and ceiling may not carry over, especially with a rushing QB taking away carries.PositiveProjectionJul 16, 2026
The analyst is scared about Devon Achane and plans to have zero of him in the second round because the Dolphins are replacing Tua Tagovailoa with rushing quarterback Malik Willis and losing Mike McDaniel, which removes the offensive advantages that inflated his target share.PositiveValueJul 15, 2026
Achane was drafted early in the build and is referenced as part of the running back foundation for this zero-RB strategy team.PositiveValueJul 14, 2026
As ADP continues to drop, Achan represents good value as a mid to late second round pick, particularly appealing for his receiving upside with 50-60+ pass-catching opportunities in a bad offensive environment.NegativeRoleJul 14, 2026
Quarterback change from Tua (ranked 56th in scrambling out of 61 QBs) to Malik Willis (highest scrambler) could reduce Achane's receiving volume, as Willis may take off running instead of checking down.NegativeRoleJul 14, 2026
The Dolphins offense was not good last year and is not expected to be good this year, which is the primary concern for his fantasy outlook despite his elite receiving skills.PositiveProjectionJul 14, 2026
Fresh off a top-five season, all-time leader in yards per carry in the Super Bowl era, and second in PPR points per game from receiving since 2024.NegativeProjectionNo date
Hartitz sees Demon Achane as protected from negative game script risk in the Texans offense due to the team's strong defense, which should prevent blowout losses that would sideline the running back. The Texans' defensive strength mitigates the typical downside of a volume-dependent RB.NegativeBustNo date
Ian Hartitz expresses an 8/10 concern level for Devon Achane, citing the Dolphins' offensive struggles, a lack of designed targets, and the negative impact of quarterback pressure and scrambling on running back receiving volume.
