De'Von Achane Week 8 Outlook - Cardinals at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, Achane returned to play 58% of the snaps with 17 touches and 85 total yards. Achane had a 48.6% snap rate on rushing plays, a 67.7% snapshare on passing downs, and a frightening 14.3% snap rate in the red zone. The red zone snap rate I'm not freaking out about too much, as Miami didn't move the ball well all day, and they only had a total of seven snaps inside the 20-yard line. Achane looked arguably the best he has all season on a per-touch basis, with a 6.7% explosive run rate and a 20% missed tackle rate. He can continue to build upon last week's encouraging game this week against a run defense that has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards per game, the fifth-highest rushing success rate, and the 13th-highest yards before contact per attempt. Miami's offensive line had been a bottom-tier unit to being the season in run blocking, but they have at least pulled that up to respectable levels, ranking 15th in yards before contact per attempt. Achane should find plenty of running room in Week 8.
