De'Von Achane Active and Officially Playing for Thursday Night Football

After being limited in practice all week with a Questionable tag, Dolphins RB De'Von Achane is active and starting tonight's game. With RB Raheem Mostert out for the game, RBs Jeffery Wilson and Jaylen Wright (both are also active) will also be included, but Achane should lead the way with no restrictions.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

With Achane's injury history and limited practices this week, there was fear that he would miss the game, but he went through warm-ups without any trainers watching him. The Dolphins also didn't call up practice squad RB Deneric Prince, indicating that Achane was good to go.

The major question for the game tonight is who will get more work in Mostert's spot: Wilson or Wright.

Wright was inactive for Week 1, but doesn't play special teams snaps like Wilson. Drafting Wright by giving away a future third round selection shows the Dolphins do like his potential and he may be more of the heir apparent to Mostert in the future.

Ultimately, Achane is a play for us since he is active and starting. Wright and Wilson are only desperation flexes.
