"Running back De'Von Achane goes into his third season after taking on a big workload for his size in 2024. He's also nursing an ailing calf as he goes into the opener. With veteran free agent signing Alexander Mattison lost for the year in the preseason and second-year tailback Jaylen Wright to miss multiple weeks at the start, rookie Ollie Gordon II could see significant work in his first NFL game, especially in short-yardage situations,"
"The Dolphins' revamped offensive line will feature their investment at both guard positions by adding James Daniels in free agency to play right guard and trading up in the second round of the draft for Jonah Savaiinaea at left guard. Behind these moves and with big left tackle Patrick Paul ready to take over his position in Year 2 and the return of center Aaron Brewer and Austin Jackson, Miami looks to turn its run-blocking from a weakness in 2024 to a strength in 2025."
De'Von Achane enters his third season after a heavy workload in 2024 and is managing an ailing calf heading into the opener. Alexander Mattison is out for the year and Jaylen Wright will miss multiple weeks, opening opportunities for rookie Ollie Gordon II in short-yardage, goal-line and power situations alongside Achane's speed. Miami added guards James Daniels and Jonah Savaiinaea, has Patrick Paul at left tackle in Year 2, and expects Aaron Brewer and Austin Jackson back, targeting improved run-blocking and a stronger rushing attack after a 21st-ranked 2024. Indianapolis features a top-ten rushing offense led by Jonathan Taylor with run support from DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart, Zaire Franklin and Nick Cross.
