Where should you draft Achane?
Achane’s fantasy value should continue to rise this season as he makes it clearer that he is the No. 1 back in Miami’s backfield.
While Mostert will still play a role, Achane proved last season how explosive he can be. With an offense as powerful as the Dolphins — with WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle taking throws from QB Tua Tagovailoa, — the Dolphins backfield will continue to be the cornerstone.
Draft Achane in the late 2nd to early 3rd round. Even though he may be battling for some snaps with Mostert, he will be the top back for the Dolphins. He averaged 16.06 points per game last season and showed his ability to not only explode for big plays, but to catch and score through the air, which is especially valuable in PPR leagues.
