        De'Von Achane Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome left knee injury in the third quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jets. Trainers rushed to stabilize the knee in an air cast before Hill was carted off the field. This looks like a season-ending injury, but we'll update Hill's status when we know more. It's a huge loss for the Dolphins offense and will open up considerable target opportunity for WRs Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, TE Darren Waller, and RB De'Von Achane.

        Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon played 25% of the team's offensive snaps in Thursday night's loss to the Bills, finishing with nine carries for 38 yards and a score. That usage was way up from the first two weeks of the season, when Gordon registered an 18% snap rate and five total touches.

        Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (knee) is not listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills. He should make his 2025 debut in that one, but it's unclear where he sits on the depth chart against RB Ollie Gordon. We'll keep an eye on that situation, but neither guy is a fantasy factor with RB De'Von Achane getting workhorse usage.

        Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill rebounded from a down Week 1 to post 6 catches for 109 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots. Hill’s 7 targets ranked second on the team behind De’Von Achane’s 10.

        Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It was his first official practice since going down on August 21. We'd be surprised if he was ready to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday, but a Week 3 return is looking realistic. We'll keep tabs on Wright's status -- and then how work between he and Ollie Gordon is split behind De'Von Achane.

        Dolphins RB De’Von Achane posted 7 carries, 55 yards, and 1 TD in a blowout loss to the Colts. He added 3 catches (4 targets), 20 yards, and 1 score as a pass catcher.

        Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He graduated to a full practice on Friday after being limited the previous two days. Achane should be ready for a full workload in Sunday's opener vs. the Colts and is a must-start in season-long fantasy leagues.

        Dolphins TE Darren Waller had a setback with his hip injury before Thursday's practice and is "doubtful" to play vs. the Colts this weekend, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. It's an inauspicious start for Waller, who came out of retirement to join the Fins in early July. He's not worth rostering outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues. Waller's absence in the opener will just mean more targets for WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and RB De'Von Achane. Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will handle TE duties for Miami.

        Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice. It would have been nice to see him full-go, but all signs point to Achane playing in Sunday's opener vs. the Colts. We'll update his status again on Thursday.

        ESPN's Adam Schefter indicated that Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) returned to practice Monday and is expected to play in the team's season opener in Indianapolis, barring any setbacks.

        Dolphins GM Chris Grier told reporters Wednesday that RB De'Von Achane will be ready for the regular-season opener. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe recently revealed that Achance has been missing practice time with a calf injury, after the team called it merely a "lower-body" issue.

        Dolphins’ RB Jaylen Wright is not expected to play Week 1, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. Wright suffered a leg injury during joint practice and remains week-to-week.

        Dolphins RB De'Von Achane has had no setbacks in his recovery from a mid-August calf injury, HC Mike McDaniel said Saturday. Updates on Achane's status have been sparse. But McDaniel said when Achane first went down that he wasn't worried about his lead back missing the start of the season. It seems like that's still the case. We've only slightly lowered Achane's floor projection in our season-long RB rankings. You might want to look elsewhere in Round 1 of fantasy drafts, but Achane is a nice pick anywhere in Round 2.

        Dolphins’ RB De’Von Achane is dealing with a calf injury that will likely keep him out of practice this week, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.

        Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel revealed Saturday that RB De'Von Achane is dealing with a "soft-tissue lower-body injury," according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. McDaniel said the injury will sideline Achane "between 'days and weeks,'" according to the report. McDaniel says he's not worried about Achane being ready for the regular-season opener.

        Miami RB Alexander Mattison suffered a neck injury that requires season-ending surgery, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
