The Miami Dolphins have had a fantastic season in 2023, using their speed as a weapon to lead the team to an 8-3 record. Despite not having the fastest player on the team, they have won half of those games. De’Von Achane, the breakout running back, will return on Sunday afternoon to take on the Commanders. It will be his season’s sixth game.
Miami’s running back situation has been problematic the whole season. Raheem Mostert has been questionable nearly every week, Jeff Wilson Jr. had an IR term, Chris Brooks is currently on the IR, and Achane missed six of their eleven games. Fortunately, the Miami Dolphins haven’t burned yet.
The Miami Dolphins average more yards per rush (5.5) than any other team, largely due to their pace and system. De’Von Achane leads the league in rushing this season with an astounding 11.8 yards per attempt on 39 tries. With 30.8 points per game, he is an explosive member of the Dolphins offense.
The Miami Dolphins are practically unstoppable thanks to De’Von Achane.
Raheem Mostert is talented (and quick) enough to cause issues; he currently leads the team in total rushing yards this season. But true danger starts when the Miami Dolphins bring Achane into the equation. This season, De’Von Achane leads all NFL players in rushing yards per game (92.2). He was a big part of Miami’s explosive 70-point game against the Broncos.
De’Von Achane’s eight carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns kept the Dolphins alive against the Bills in the first half despite all odds. Achane has only played in one game for Miami this season, and it was not his fault. On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins will take on the Washington defense, which allows the fewest points per game (29.5). Things might quickly get ugly with De’Von Achane back in the mix, primarily in Miami’s advantage.
