Fantasy Football analysis: Dolphins RB De’Von Achane
De’Von Achane is finally healthy after missing the past month with an injury. He is healthy and active, so he should be a full go. This season, he has carried the ball 38 times for 460 yards and five touchdowns. He is averaging an insane 12.1 yards per carry. He has also caught nine passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns.
Start or sit in Week 11 PPR leagues?
Start. If he is full go, head coach Mike McDaniel will give him all of the touches he can handle. Achane has had at least 100 yards in three of his four games this season. He has been highly effective this season. He is averaging 2.2 catches per game but has the ability to catch more passes out of the backfield should the team need him to do so. Achane is projected to score 13.8 points in a PPR this week.
Start or sit in Week 11 standard leagues?
Start. Achane has been electric this season when he has touched the ball. In his small sample size, he is averaging 115 yards per game on the ground. While it’s not realistic to expect that pace to continue, he should still get his fair share of production. He is a touchdown machine as well and a threat to take it the distance whenever he touches the ball. Achane is projected to score 11.3 points in a standard league this week.
Player(s) you would start ahead of De’Von Achane
If you don’t to start Achane this week, look at Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery. He made his return from injury last week and carried the ball 12 times for 116 yards and a touchdown. Although he is splitting carries with rookie Jahmyr Gibbs, there are still plenty of touches available for Montgomery in Detroit’s backfield. He has scored a touchdown in all but one game this season. Montgomery is projected to score 11.3 points in a standard-scoring league this week.
