Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is active for tonight's game vs. the Patriots. It's the rookie's regular-season debut after being scratched for the opener. Achane can't be trusted in season-long lineups but is an interesting flier in one-game DFS tournament contests.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Chargers. The rookie has some work to do to earn a role in this offense. Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed will handle backfield duties for Miami today.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is not expected to play vs. the Chargers today. The rookie wasn't listed on the final injury report but has "some rust" after missing time in August with a shoulder injury, per Pelissero. Achane remains worth stashing on fantasy benches but is unlikely to be a viable fantasy starter for at least another few weeks. Raheem Mostert figures to handle the majority of RB touches for Miami today. Salvon Ahmed will be the No. 2 RB.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll make his regular-season debut vs. the Chargers on Sunday. Miami could certainly use Achane with RB Jeff Wilson on IR, but the rookie would be a desperation fantasy play after getting 0 first-team snaps this preseason.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. That puts him in line to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Chargers. The rookie played zero first-team snaps with the starters this preseason, though, so it's tough to imagine him playing a big role on Sunday. Achane is more bench stash than Week 1 fantasy play.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) practiced without a non-contact jersey on Monday, according to The Miami Herald's Daniel Oyefusi. That puts the rookie on track to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Chargers. Achane got zero first-team snaps in the preseason and can't be trusted in Week 1 fantasy lineups. But it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up getting significant playing time on Sunday with RB Jeff Wilson out. Miami only has Achane, Salvon Ahmed, and Chris Brooks behind lead back Raheem Mostert.
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Thursday that RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) should be able to participate in next week's prep work for the opener vs. the Chargers. But McDaniel stopped short of saying that the rookie will be able to play in that game. Achane is back on the practice field but is wearing a non-contact jersey. It at least sounds like he's getting close to a full return. Achane's availability has taken on increased importance with RB Jeff Wilson's trip to IR.
The Dolphins surprisingly put RB Jeff Wilson Jr. on IR Thursday. That means he'll miss at least the first four games. We had seen no indication of a significant injury to Wilson. He missed Wednesday's practice with an undisclosed issue but had otherwise only missed scant early-August time with a minor left-leg injury. This designation leaves Raheem Mostert and Chris Brooks as the only healthy RBs on the roster, and Mostert likely the clear backfield leader for Week 1 against the Chargers. De'Von Achane (shoulder) and Salvon Ahmed (concussion) worked on the side Wednesday, which could mean they have a chance to be ready for Week 1. We'll look for more on Wilson's situation and outlook. He remains stashable, though he's probably more of an early-season waiver option in most leagues now than a draft target.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) returned to practice on Tuesday, although he was sporting a non-contact jersey. The rookie went down in Miami's second preseason game 10 days ago. It looks like he has a shot to be ready for the regular season opener, but Achane won't be a viable Week 1 fantasy play. He got zero first-team reps in the preseason.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane avoided a severe injury to his shoulder, HC Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday. But according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, the rookie RB is considered "week-to-week." That's a particularly tough spot for a young back who has been running fifth on the RB depth chart so far. We'll see whether Achane can return to the field before the regular-season opener. We're moving him down the RB rankings for upcoming fantasy football drafts, though.
Dolphins RB Devon Achane injured a shoulder in Saturday's preseason game vs. the Texans, HC Mike McDaniel said afterward. We'll look for more details on the severity and a timeline for Achane's return. The rookie got zero snaps with the first-team offense on Saturday, so he's not shaping up as an early-season fantasy option.
The Dolphins held RBs Jeff Wilson and Raheem Mostert out of Friday night's preseason opener vs. the Falcons. But Devon Achane was still just the third RB to hit the field for Miami, behind Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Achane, of course, is a rookie and missed a couple of days of practice earlier in the week with an undisclosed injury. We're still expecting him to be one of Miami's top-three backs by the time Week 1 rolls around, but his standing on the depth chart will be worth watching closely the rest of the summer.
