Lead back for Miami; Wright’s absence emphasizes Achane’s role as the centerpiece of the rushing attack with Gordon as key backup.

Achane cleared earlier calf concerns but remains a game-time risk depending on status. If active, he’s a multi-touch contributor; if not, expect more from Mostert and Biggers. His health will set the pace for Miami’s rushing and receiving game balance.

Achane is positioned for a larger workload in Miami, offering big-play upside as a primary back with receiving presence. Week 2 projections reflect increased opportunity in a run-first scheme with game-script potential.

Achane showed elite burst and big-play potential with 7 carries for 55 yards (nearly 8 ypc) before Miami fell behind. His efficiency suggests a path to a larger workload if the Dolphins commit to the ground game and protect the ball, particularly as Daniels' injury status evolves.

Achane flashed as a breakout piece for Miami, offering a spark in a game that otherwise frustrated the Dolphins. His touches provided a reminder of the rookie’s big-play potential and a path to a larger role as he integrates with the offense.
