De’Von Achane set up to take over once again

We already saw a breakout performance from Miami Dolphins rookie running back De’Von Achane in a big way against a hapless Denver Broncos defense last week to the tune of 230 yards and a ridiculous four touchdowns. This week against the division rival Buffalo Bills, Achane could be set up for success once again.

While the Buffalo Bills defense is as stout as they come, with one of the best defensive minds in the league as their head coach, they are not unbeatable. If any mind in the NFL can match Sean McDermott, it is Miami’s head coach and offensive whiz Mike McDaniel. It would be surprising if after Achane’s breakout game, he doesn’t touch the ball a handful of times…in a handful of different ways. With blazing speed, agility, and lateral movement skills, Achane is going to be incredibly difficult for any defense to stop.

While Buffalo has plenty of talent on defense, it is going to be hard for them to account for all the weapons on this Dolphins offense. Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert, and De’Von Achane boast the speediest offense in the NFL, and it is hard to imagine any single Buffalo player manning up with any of them. Achane should see plenty of success in his touches again this week and may become a permanent fixture on the Miami highlight reel this season.
