A fully healthy Achane gave fantasy managers everything they hoped for this offseason. The second-year speedster rushed for 907 yards and six touchdowns while operating as the Dolphins’ lead back and added another 78 receptions for 592 yards and six scores. Any concerns about Achane’s ability to handle a full assortment of touches were laid to rest this season, as he averaged 16.5 touches per game this season while amassing over 1,400 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. Achane’s volume and big-play ability will put him in the conversation as a high-end RB1 next fantasy season.

The Browns’ defense had little reason to respect the Dolphins’ passing attack with Tyler Huntley under center so it was easy for them to focus on the typically potent rushing attack. Achane operated as the offensive focal point early on, touching the ball seven times in the first quarter which led all Dolphins players by five. The overall offensive inefficiency elevated Tyreek Hill to the featured role after that. Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. then combined for 22 second-half snaps, relegating Achane to just eight. Achane remains a high-upside RB1 against the Jets next week though, particularly if Tua Tagovailoa (hip) can play.

Achane had been coasting on receiving volume for a while heading into Week 16. He had yet to top 100 yards on the ground this year and his last game over 41 yards came in in Week 11. With fantasy championship berths on the line, Achane did it all today. The receiving role, per usual, was elite. Achane tied Tyreek Hill for a team-high in targets and led the team outright in receiving yards. The second-year back finally got a chance to show off his home run speed as well. Having been stifled on the ground for most of the season, Achane never looked back when a massive hole opened up late in the fourth quarter and he cashed in for a game-sealing, 50-yard touchdown. Achane’s receiving output has him locked into a top-12 rank for Week 17 versus the Browns while his speed gives him an RB1 overall ceiling.

Achane actually slowed down a bit, as he had 10 of his 19 touches in the first quarter. As it was last week, his ability to touch the ball is in no doubt. He simply isn’t generating much positive yardage in the ground game. 41 yards was actually his best total since Week 11 against the Raiders. Achane will remain a volume RB1 but he’ll be reliant on his passing-game yardage against the 49ers in Week 16.
