De'Von Achane

Achane underwent shoulder surgery in May 2026 for the injury suffered in Week 17 and was not a full OTA participant as of late May, creating real uncertainty about his conditioning and availability entering training camp and Week 1.

Achane scored 12 total touchdowns in 2025 against roughly 8.4 expected, a +3.6 positive variance that typically reverts and could deflate his fantasy scoring even if his touch share holds steady.

With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle both gone and run-capable Malik Willis now at QB, Miami's checkdown and red-zone passing volume could increasingly bypass Achane, consistent with the target-share decline already showing in his full-season trend.

Achane logged roughly 305 combined touches in 2025 as a true workhorse; sustained volume at that pace raises attrition risk in years three and four of his new four-year deal.

Miami's 4-year, $68M extension ($32M guaranteed, third-highest AAV among RBs) signed in May 2026 removes any near-term trade or benching risk and confirms Achane as the long-term centerpiece of the offense.

The RB2-4 depth chart (Wright, Gordon, Mattison) is pure rotational/depth talent, and Miami's entire 2026 draft capital went to WR/TE rather than RB, leaving Achane's touch share effectively unchallenged.

Achane led the NFL in yards per carry at 5.7 in 2025, evidence of explosive, talent-driven production that isn't purely a byproduct of volume and should help sustain value through any touch fluctuation.
