Dolphins Sensation Devon Achane Shreds Defenses with Record TD Burst—Watch the Highlights & Fantasy Fallout

De’Von Achane trade talk cools as Dolphins eye extension Miami Gardens, Fla. — Speed-back De’Von Achane appears set to remain the engine of the Miami Dolphins’ remade offense after an ESPN report pegged his chances of being traded at just 10 percent, with team brass “far more likely to extend Achane’s contract than to listen to those trade offers.” Why Miami is standing pat • Front-office reset: New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley have already cut high-priced veterans Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill to clear cap space, but view Achane as a foundational piece for 2026 and beyond. • Scheme fit: Incoming offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik coordinated Miami’s passing game in 2025 and is expected to lean on zone-run concepts that accentuate Achane’s 4.26-speed. • Contract control: The 2023 third-round pick is signed through 2026 at a cap hit under $2 million, making an extension both affordable and prudent before free-agent prices spike next spring. Production that’s hard to replace The 24-year-old exploded for 1,350 rushing yards on 238 carries (5.7 YPC) and added 488 receiving yards on 67 catches last season, matching his 2024 total with 12 touchdowns and finishing as fantasy football’s overall RB5 despite missing one game. No other Dolphins back topped 300 yards from scrimmage. Fantasy football outlook • Locked-in workload: Even with youngsters Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II siphoning occasional series, Achane still handled 66 percent of Miami’s touches inside the 10-yard line in 2025. • QB change benefits backs: New starter Malik Willis owns the league’s fifth-highest play-action rate over the past two seasons, a metric that historically boosts running-back yards per carry. • Early ADP surge: In post-combine best-ball drafts, Achane is climbing into the top-five running-back picks, behind only Bijan Robinson, Breece Hall and Jahmyr Gibbs. What an extension could look like League execs contacted by The Sporting News project an extension in the neighborhood of three years and $39–42 million with $24 million guaranteed, mirroring the 2024 deal the Saints gave Alvin Kamara. Locking in Achane before the draft would free Miami to chase offensive-line reinforcements rather than another skill player. Bottom line Barring a “Godfather” trade offer, Miami is positioning Achane as the centerpiece of a younger, cheaper core. For fantasy managers and Dolphins fans alike, the fastest back in football isn’t going anywhere—except, perhaps, up your draft board.
