Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Scores twice in Week 9 loss
De'Von Achane rushed 12 times for 63 yards and a touchdown while catching all eight of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.Achane gave the Miami Dolphins a 10-3 lead with a 14-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, and he added an eight-yard rushing score in the fourth. He finished with 20 touches to Raheem Mostert's 12, as Achane was much more active as a pass catcher. Achane has at least 100 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in all four games started by Tua Tagovailoa this season, so the second-year running back profiles as a strong Week 10 fantasy option against the Rams on MNF.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Shines in QB's return
De'Von Achane rushed 10 times for 97 yards while catching six of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.Achane got 47 of his 147 scrimmage yards on an explosive third-quarter run, and he fittingly capped that drive with a 12-yard touchdown catch. He finished with 16 touches while Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright combined for 12, but Mostert's nine carries included a pair of short touchdown runs. Achane and Mostert coexisted effectively in Achane's 2023 rookie season, and the return of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) under center raises the ceiling for Miami's entire offense heading into a Week 9 trip to Buffalo.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Leading rusher in Week 7 loss
De'Von Achane carried the ball 15 times for 77 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.The Miami Dolphins' offense struggled once again with Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and then Tim Boyle under center, but Achane was still able to accumulate solid yardage and led the team in rushing. With Boyle potentially set for the start in Week 8 against the Cardinals if none of Huntley, Skylar Thompson (ribs) or Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) are able to suit up, Achane and Raheem Mostert (11 totes for 50 yards Sunday) could be in line for even bigger volume out of the backfield.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Clears concussion protocol
De'Von Achane said Friday he's fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Colts, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Achane has been a full participant in practice coming off a Week 6 bye, and he's now on track to play Week 7 after having gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Including a Week 5 performance in which he handled just three carries before being forced off the field versus New England, the second-year pro has amassed just 63 rushing yards while averaging 2.3 YPC in his last three appearances. Now having shed his injury designation, Achane will have a chance to bounce back as the leader of Miami's backfield versus Indianapolis. While Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright represent threats to Achane's overall workload, Achane remains the No. 1 option in the Miami Dolphins' talented running back room, a group that could see substantial work with Tyler Huntley still under center in place of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Optimism for Week 7
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he's "optimistic" that De'Von Achane (concussion) will fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol after Friday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.Achane still needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist, but he's otherwise practiced in full this week and seems to be trending in the right direction coming out of a Week 6 bye. Assuming he indeed gains full clearance in time for Sunday's road matchup in Indianapolis, he'll figure to lead Miami's speedy backfield, in which Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright also are pushing for touches.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Another full practice
De'Von Achane (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.Achane has now logged back-to-back full practices without a non-contract jersey, seemingly putting him in the final stage of concussion protocol, at which point he needs clearance from a neurologist before playing in Sunday's game at Indianapolis. Assuming that happens, he'll step in as the leader of a speedy, talented backfield in which Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright loom as threats to take a portion of the snaps/carries.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Sheds non-contact jersey
De'Von Achane is in the final stage of the concussion protocol and isn't wearing a non-contact jersey at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.Coming out of a Week 6 bye, Achane sported a red, non-contact jersey at Monday's practice. He's apparently made progress since then and now has four days to gain clearance ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts, which will take place 14 days after Achane suffered a concussion in the Week 5 win at New England.

Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Dons non-contact jersey Monday
De'Von Achane (concussion) wore a red non-contact jersey in practice Monday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.It's encouraging that Achane was on the practice field with his teammates Monday coming out of Miami's Week 6 bye, but he still has a few hurdles to clear in order to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. He will need to upgrade to full practice participation at some point prior to Sunday's game against the Colts to have a chance to suit up. Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright would likely take on larger roles should Achane sit out due to the head injury that he sustained in the Week 5 win over the Patriots.
