RB Devon Achane, MIA (1 Viewer)

[Todem]

I’m starting him over Brian Robinson. I just can’t sit a guy who can take it to the house like Achane can on any play. I’m Certainly not sitting him for a guy who is probably going to score exactly 10 points.

I did the exact same thing!

Cheers!

 

[FarFromHome]

Most important thing is he finished the game.

 

[VikingFrog]

Was crazy to see the volume they gave him after the game was out of hand.

Seems to say Mostert is true RB1 of this team.

But also could be making a statement that they don’t need to put this guy in bubble wrap, and let him get more reps.

 

[LittlePhatty]

I think for dynasty, I am hoping for another nice game, prove he's healthy and see what I can get for him.

That oughta do it. Let us know what you get for him.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Health is quite literally the only thing could keep him back from becoming a top tier RB imo.

Awesome performance.

 

[VikingFrog]

I need you tonight my sweet Achane.

Do as you do so well.

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Stay healthy young pup. Gonna be fun watching Achane and Hill win back their top speed carries that DK and Brown just surpassed.

Poetic, pithy, a little creepy. 4.5 stars, would recommend.

 

[TommyKramer9]

What are the chances Achane outscores Derrick Henry by 19 points tonight? that's all I need for a first round bye in the playoffs

 

[greedygoat]

How many other RB's would you rather have ROS? I can count them on less than one hand.

 

[LawFitz]

Need 15 pts tonight and must choose between Achane and Saquan.

I also have Saquon. Going for the big game with Achane. Game script should be in his favor

How many pts do you need? 15 fell squarely into my mud zone of uncertainty about whom to start.

I have them both going and need a lot of points from both going against Hill… so I hope you both can’t go wrong in your choice.

If I had to start one I think I’d start Achane though.

I like it a lot better than needing Henry -19

Quick question. I currently have Doubs and Hopkins in my lineup but I have Mostert on the bench, should I do anything? Any and all help be appreciated.

Are you ahead or behind?

I'd roll with Mostert if you need ceiling.

Ya have to get Mohstert in there

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Need a big game from him. I am going to lose because of Herbert but I could get into the playoffs based on total points or victory points, and I need to boost my total this week for that to have a better chance of happening.

 

[Ardbeg4ever]

I hope one of them is Mostert

 

[gump]

Looked Iike he would have gotten to the corner for a TD on that first drive if Tua didn’t fumble the snap.

 

[VikingFrog]

Looked Iike he would have gotten to the corner for a TD on that first drive if Tua didn’t fumble the snap.

Agreed. And his wide open missed opportunity that him and tua just missed on (I think Achane let up a little) would have gone for an 85 yard TD.

Not the best stat line last night… but easily could have been very big night.

 

[Hoh]

Those couple touches on the last drive pushed me ahead. Rapture.

 

[VikingFrog]

Same. And interestingly enough the previous three drives were all Mostert with Achane barely even seeing a snap. The two tds and the punt I don’t recall seeing Achane get a snap. I know he didn’t get a touch.

 

[FarFromHome]

If you roster him you gotta keep putting him in your lineup. The problem is his availability and the fact that Mostert is doing so good. Those things hurt his snaps and involvement.

 

[kyoun1e]

It's clear Mostert is the grinder here, but they're putting both Achane and Mostert in the backfield together. Achane getting more of the passing game vs. Mostert and they're clearly trying to set him up for explosive plays.

Feels like Miami's version of D. Montgomery and J. Gibbs.

 

[jm192]

Those couple touches on the last drive pushed me ahead. Rapture.

I won a win and in game on that last catch by all of 0.28. He was initially going to lose a good chunk of yards. Him turning that into something saved the season.

Connor Williams, Miami's starting #1 Center in the NFL is OUT for the season
That should make people shake in the knees
Different offense without him

De'Von Achane has a toe injury now for the Dolphins. Liam Eichenberg is dealing with a calf injury. Xavien Howard indeed has an ailing hip. All would've been non-participants if the team practiced today, according to an estimated injury report released by the team.

Partially because Conner is so good. But mostly because his replacement Eich is so bad.

 

[BigJim®]

I know this guy has huge talent, but boy, ‘winning’ him as a free agent became my doom. There’s no sugar coating two 1st quarter exits and week 14 dud.

I think we got two starts out of him before he became a year-long roster anchor. Hopium is a powerful drug.

This is good Info to know. People rarely know about olines. For me if Kelce was out, the Eagles offense is vastly downgraded. Sounds like the same here.

 

[zoonation]

I can't pull the trigger. Looking at Swift or Williams instead. Don't like either option.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Urgg this guy is a walking bandaid. Has the potential to go for 30+ or completely miss each week.

Miami has been rolling back ups at LG and RG with Cotton and Jones but now with Williams-IR and Armstead always IN and Out at Left Tackle...you have Miami possibly starting 4 back ups which leaves Austin Jackson as the only remaining healthy OL for Miami.

 

[TommyKramer9]

Barring injury to my other guys, he'll be on my bench the rest of the season

 

[geneyus]

Another DNP for Achane today. McDaniels says status "unknown" for Sunday.

Good one!

Our league calls it the Josh Gordonian. That image of someone dominanting so big you cant not see the player as always that guy. I'm pretty sure I rostered Josh Gordon last year. Ha ha

 

[zamboni]

Was really excited about this guy for dynasty when he exploded on the scene, but starting to sour a bit on him with all these injuries. As talented as he is, as they say, the best ability is availability.

Can't make the club in the tub.

Have Mostert and Achane in lineup now. At this point, I'd rather see them make him inactive to justify moving Pollard back in. Come back healthy Week 16 and finish it off strong!

I have both and am sitting Achane for Breece Hall and Monty. It's actually a kids league that I manage with my 8-year-old. We're going to the game, his first ever, so it'd be fun if he could watch all his players, but I think Achane is still too risky, so he'll have to settle for watching Mostert and the Miami DST

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Pleaseeee play Achane. If he is out I am on my #4 and #5 RB.

 

[LawFitz]

Considering punting him at this point to hoard another matchup D. No way he can be trusted until he puts in a healthy performance, which would be week 16, and then even if he does, he'd be facing the Ravens D in Baltimore week 17.

In no universe can one drop Achane imo. It's tough seeing him banged up constantly but there isn't a more explosive RB in the game. He could go for a TD every single play (He should have had an 80+ yard TD reception last week).

You would 100% be kicking yourself if you drop him for a D you might start.

In dynasty/keeper formats, I agree. In redraft, it's an entirely different story. Only three weeks remain, and he now has a toe injury that has caused him to DNP two practices in a row. I could definitely see a scenario where I am kicking myself in the next week or two for not dropping him this week. If I get a sniff today or tomorrow that his toe injury is even remotely serious (i.e. turf toe), he's hitting my wire. Sadly, as I am as big a fan of his game as anyone here.
