"A big reason why the Dolphins have won three in a row and four of their past five games is because Achane, who rushed for 132 yards on 22 carries against the Saints, took over the offense in the absence of Hill and tight end Darren Waller, who return to the lineup Sunday. That's right. Achane carried the Miami offense better than either quarterback Tua Tagovailoa or wide receiver Jaylen Waddle."
"Achane could end up with the No. 2 single-season rushing total in franchise history. He won't catch Ricky Williams' 1,853 yards rushing in 2003, which is No. 1 on the list. But rounding out the top five totals on the list, Achane could reach Williams' 1,372 yards in 2003, which is No. 2 on the list, or Jay Ajayi's 1,272 yards in 2016, or Delvin Williams' 1,258 yards in 1978, or Lamar Smith's 1,139 yards in 2000."
De'Von Achane has rushed for a career-best 1,034 yards this season and became the fourth Dolphins running back to surpass 1,000 yards in 12 games. He rushed for 132 yards on 22 carries against the Saints and has taken over the offense during the absences of Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller. Achane's production has been a major factor in Miami's recent wins and positions him as the likely team MVP and a probable Pro Bowl selection. Achane intends to consider his future and a contract extension after the season. He could finish among the franchise's top single-season rushing totals.
