Dolphins activate rookie sensation RB De’Von Achane to face Raiders

Today the Dolphins added an unexpected weapon as they welcome the Raiders to town on Sunday. His name is De’Von Achane. And he ha the makings of a phenom.

The rookie third round pick exploded onto the scene. Over a three-week span, Achane ran for 455 yards and five touchdowns on 37 carries (12.3 yards per carry). He added eight catches for 63 yards and two touchdowns.

That’s 518 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns. In THREE GAMES. For an average of 173 yards and 2.3 touchdowns per game. That’s absolutely absurd.

Achane landed on injured reserve after that with a knee injury. And today, he was activated.

As Adam Schefter noted, despite missing the past four games, Achane is still currently tied for the league lead with six runs of 20 yards or more and has sole possession of the most runs of 40 yards or more (four).

The Dolphins already had a track team with the likes of WR Tyreek Hill, RB Raheem Mostert, and WR Jaylen Waddle. Now getting Achane back and the Raiders will have to hope they can keep up. Literally.
