"Optimism" on De'Von Achane's Week 2 Status

There's "optimism" about Dolphins RB De'Von Achane's availability for tonight's game against the Bills, according to NFL Network. Achane is listed as questionable after only getting in a limited practice on Wednesday. But Miami media noted that Achane didn't seem to be hobbled in the open portion of that Wednesday practice.

What They're Saying

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport: "Dolphins RB Devon Achane, dealing with an ankle sprain, will work out pregame tonight to determine his availability against the Bills. But based on how he feels and how he practiced yesterday, there is optimism that he plays ..."

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

It's clear that Achane won't be at 100% if he suits up tonight. But even an 80% Achane -- with no Raheem Mostert -- would be very tough to leave out of Week 2 fantasy lineups.

He currently sits eighth in our Week 2 PPR RB rankings. We'll adjust if needed as we get more info.

Other Winners & Losers

RBs Jeff Wilson and Jaylen Wright figure to be active tonight. But, if Achane plays, those guys are just Week 2 fliers without knowing how many touches each will get. Wilson notably played ahead of Wright this preseason. Wright, of course, was a Week 1 healthy scratch.
