2024 Season Outlooks

We're targeting Achane in Round 4 of full PPR leagues and we're ranking him as an RB2. But that fails to tell the story of one of the great wild cards of the 2024 Fantasy season. Achane was the most efficient running back in football last year, averaging 7.7 yards per touch and scoring once every 11.8 touches. We know there is some regression coming from those numbers; the mystery is how much his volume will make up for it. The four times he had more than 10 carries in 2023 were all blowouts and the Dolphins only gave him 20 combined touches in back-to-back must-win games to end the year. With Raheem Mostert back and Jaylen Wright added, it's fair to wonder if Achane sees a big increase in work. Still, his type of efficiency generally leads to more work and this offense gives him league-winning upside.

What will Achane do as an encore to his impressive rookie season? He led the league in yards per carry (7.8), among those with a minimum of 100 attempts. The Dolphins were one of the league's most dynamic offenses last season, ranking third in total yards and points per game under head coach and playcaller Mike McDaniel. Expect more of the same in 2024. One red flag with Achane is his durability, as he missed six games last season. However, he remains lethal with the football in his hands, averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game despite only 12.0 touches per game. Those rates scream regression candidate, but that should be offset by a boost in volume in Year 2. Achane will split touches with Raheem Mostert, but he can be drafted as an excellent, high-end flex option with tremendous upside.
