Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to De’Von Achane (concussion).

Not much has gone right for the Dolphins in 2024. After a disastrous hit on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in Week 2, the Fins have gone from elite to anemic on offense. Second-year running back De’Von Achane ($6,700) has also fallen victim to the injury bug, having left Week 5’s game against the Patriots with a concussion. Luckily for Miami, their second-year star appears good to go this weekend in Indianapolis.

Although Achane appears to be healthy, can fantasy managers pencil him into their lineups? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) discussed the Dolphins running back on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:

  • Miami’s terrible offense needs Achane desperately. Backup quarterback Snoop Huntley ($5,100) has not been able to get anything going through the air.
  • Raheem Mostert’s ($6,100) return makes this backfield especially tricky. The pair have not shared the field since Week 1.
  • Steve thinks Achane’s $6,700 price tag is “absurdly high.” Names like David Montgomery ($6,600) and Josh Jacobs ($6,400) offer more value.
