Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane is making a big impact in his second year in the NFL, handling an increased workload without injury concerns. He has already surpassed last year’s total touches, carries, and receptions, demonstrating his versatility on the field. Achane had 17 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown in a recent game against the Raiders, showing his consistent production in the run game. He has also become a reliable target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, catching passes on all but five of his targets. Coach Mike McDaniel praised Achane’s professionalism and ability to contribute in various situations, while acknowledging the need for a balanced distribution of opportunities among running backs.
Meanwhile, fellow running back Raheem Mostert, who had been part of last year’s backfield duo with Achane, is playing a supportive role despite seeing less action. Mostert expressed his willingness to contribute when given the opportunity and had a productive conversation with McDaniel about their roles. The Dolphins offense is adjusting to utilize Achane’s strengths, taking advantage of his speed and versatility to help the team win games. With Achane’s success on the field and Mostert’s willingness to support the team, the Dolphins are poised to continue their strong performance in the season ahead.
