Dolphins RB De’Von Achane will practice today for 1st time since suffering calf injury 3 weeks ago. HC Mike McDaniel says if Achane doesn’t have any setbacks he will play Sunday vs. Colts.

It's good news for the Dolphins offense. It was the plan all along to have Achane for Week 1, but it's nice to see he'll officially be back at practice and he's still on track. Given the injury and it being Week 1, Gordon is probably worth a pickup if he's still on your wire. He's at least poised for some short yardage and goal line work but it could be more.

This looks like wheels-up for Ollie Gordon, who has been steamed up after Wright missed time this preseason. Achane is still the back we want in this backfield, but Gordon looks like a great double-digit stab who could mix in enough to warrant FLEX appeal during bye weeks.

Looks like the jury's still out on whether Wright will be set for W1, but this is great news for Achane drafters, particularly for his year-long availability. If he stays healthy for the entire year, he has legit overall RB1 upside.

Jaylen Wright likely won't play Week 1 but "not too far off .. after that," McDaniel said.

The rookie Gordon should slot in behind Achane as the team's RB2. It could be something to keep an eye on later in fantasy drafts. Wright didn't look good in the preseason and the Dolphins are looking to improve in short yardage situations with the loss of Alexander Mattison, so Gordon will likely have some fantasy value right from the start - with the potential to keep the RB2 job even when Wright comes back.

Jaylen Wright is being walked to the Baptist Health facility with a limp and it doesn’t look good. Not saying season ending, but this isn’t a “I’ll bounce back” limp. But at least he’s walking.

If this really is serious, it could leave Gordon and Mattison in line for legit work with Achane also nursing an injury. We'll keep an eye on both injuries and a potential RB move if one takes place.

The Dolphins are keeping one of their key offensive players sidelined for at least the next few practices.

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters in his Monday press conference that De’Von Achane is unlikely to practice this week due to a calf issue.

But McDaniel noted that Achane getting held out of practice is precautionary, the story went on to say. We also just posted a news story about how Gordon and Wright are battling for the team's RB2 role, which the Dolphins would like to see go to more of a power back. As far as Achane goes, it sounds like it's not serious and he should be fine before Week 1.

The Dolphins opted to sign Mike Boone and Aaron Shampklin on Monday upon the bad news for Alexander Mattison. Neither is the power runner Mattison is, but they were the choices over Jamaal Williams, who is known to bulldoze his way between the tackles.

“When we work out guys, we base it on the facts in front of us,” said McDaniel, indicating the roster spots were earned in the tryout.

Perhaps the most important thing to note is McDaniel also said the team selected capable short-yardage backs in the past two drafts in Wright and Gordon II, along with key run blockers. If the Dolphins do feel strongly about that, it's more likely one of those two backs takes over the role Mattison may have had. But then one has to wonder, why weren't they in that position before the team felt the need to sign Mattison. Outside of Achane, this will be a situation to monitor.

Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared through concussion protocol.

He will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

We are so back. Tua has a great matchup, and can be considered as a low-end QB1 for managers who are looking to stream him in his first game back. Hill returns to WR1 consideration with the upside for a top-3 weekly finish, while Waddle managers can shake off the cobwebs and stick him in as a WR2.

If Achane is fully cleared by the weekend, it put the rest of the backfield in no-man's land for fantasy purposes. Achance himself should be considered an RB2 with a capped ceiling due to a questionable offensive environment, sans Tua Tagovailoa.

It wasn't good in Week 4 but the Dolphins don't really have any other option other than Boyle. No one on the Dolphin offense can really be trusted in fantasy lineups and it seemed like the Titans took away the run game daring Huntley to beat them, which didn't happen. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 6 and Tua is rumored to be back for Week 8, so those holding fantasy players on the Dolphins will need some patience over the next several weeks.
