Fantasy Football Player Notes

De'Von Achane led the backfield with 10 carries for 32 yards, averaging 3.2 yards per carry. He was the only RB with more than one touch in the first half. Achane excelled as a receiver out of the backfield, securing three of four targets for 24 yards and two receiving touchdowns.
Jaylen Wright contributed 28 yards on seven carries, highlighted by a long run of 12 yards. He fumbled on an exchange with No. 2 quarterback Skylar Thompson, which led to a Patriots fumble-six touchdown. He didn't get another touch after the critical error.
Raheem Mostert had two carries for five yards, while Malik Washington and Tagovailoa added minimal contributions to the ground game. Mostert saw the only other red-zone carry for the Dolphins' backfield while seeing the first carry after Achane.
The lack of consistency from the non-Achane Dolphins RBs doesn't give me confidence in either rest of the season. If anything, it just means more work for Achane with every game so critical for the Dolphins to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The final backfield snaps were 53% for Achane, 31% for Mostert and 19% for Wright.

Tight end Jonnu Smith was a key weapon, catching nine of 11 targets (28% target share) for 87 yards and a touchdown. His 61 yards after the catch underscored his ability to create after the catch.
He had NINE targets in the first half alone in addition to four red-zone targets.
Smith has been the team's Target share leader for the last FOUR weeks. Considering the usage, it's not surprising that he is producing, but to this extent is the most shocking part. And as pumped as I am for Waddle hitting against the Patriots, it was the perfect storm. The matchup was fantastic. I'm not as optimistic moving forward because the reasons why Waddle wasn't great for many previous weeks are still present i.e. Smith and Achane. Those guys are going to get more targets in games against better defenses. If I could sell high on Waddle after this game, I would.
Keep in mind in Waddle's best game of the season, Smith still out targeted him.
