Dolphins' De’Von Achane Thrives in Expanded Role During Second NFL Season

The second-year running back has surpassed his rookie-year workload while maintaining health and consistency in Miami's offense.

De’Von Achane has exceeded his total touches from last season, with 168 in 10 games compared to 130 in 11 games as a rookie.
Achane has improved his receiving game, catching 46 passes so far this season, nearly doubling last year’s total of 27.
Despite a history of knee injuries in 2023, Achane has remained healthy this season, recovering quickly even from a concussion earlier this year.
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has leaned on Achane's productivity, giving him increased snaps and touches in recent games.
Veteran running back Raheem Mostert has taken on a reduced role but expressed support for Achane's success and remains ready for opportunities.
