The Dolphins held running back De’Von Achane out of the Black Friday win over the Jets.

Achane is considered day to day.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that a number of factors went into the decision, including the short week, the opponent and faith in Mostert and Wilson, the story said. The piece went on to quote McDaniel: "So, as he goes he’ll tell me he can play I already know that, but he’ll just be closely evaluated, making sure we have the confident version of him." Owners will again have to monitor Achane this week. The Dolphins play an early game in Week 13 at the Commanders so owners will be able to adjust lineups.

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane (knee) isn’t expected to play today vs. the Jets.

As it stands, it is more than likely going to be the Mostert/Wilson show once again, but things could certainly change by tomorrow. As it stands, Mostert is a borderline RB1/2, while Wilson would return to FLEX consideration.

Injury report for tomorrow’s Jets-Dolphins game. De’Von Achane questionable. Mekhi Becton also questionable but listed as a DNP projection today.

Running back Salvon Ahmed went on injured reserve.

Ahmed has a foot injury despite catching a touchdown against the Raiders. He also ran for a touchdown earlier in the season. Ahmed likely saw more time this past week with the team not putting Achane back in the game after a knee injury. Achane should be good to play in Week 12, a Friday contest, but it will be worth monitoring for the rest of the week. If Achane is out, Wilson could run as the RB2 behind Mostert.

Dolphins’ RB De'Von Achane still is gathering information on his injury.

Achane re-injured the same knee Sunday that landed him on injured reserve for four games. Schefter went on to say HC Mike McDaniel implied it wasn’t serious, which is good news. But, he didn't exactly commit him to playing for Week 12. Schefter's post went on to say: Asked if Achane could play Friday vs. the Jets, McDaniel said: “There’s a chance that he will and he won’t. … I definitely would not rule him out, but would definitely not rule him in, either.” The good news is it's a Black Friday game, so owners will be able to adjust lineups well ahead of Sunday's action. We reported earlier today the team kept him out as a precaution this past week against the Raiders.

Dolphins running back De'Von Achane played just three snaps in Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders before leaving with a knee injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel said his removal was precautionary.

McDaniel said Achane got landed on and it was a little painful. McDaniel added Achane was politicking trying to come back in the game but McDaniel "was a little worried with the rust." McDaniel added Miami's trainers essentially cleared Achane to play, but he made the ultimate call to keep him on the sideline for the remainder of the game. It was obviously disappointing for fantasy owners as he made his return, but it sounds like Achane should have a chance to play in Week 12. It was the same knee that was landed on that caused Achane to go on the IR.

Despite returning to practice today, Texans RB Dameon Pierce has been ruled out for Sunday.

With Pierce missing Sunday's game, Devin Singletary gets bumped into the RB2 range once again.

The Vikings are listing WR Justin Jefferson and RB Alexander Mattison as questionable for Sunday night vs. the Broncos.

Related Players: Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu, Jordan Addison, Jalen Nailor, Brandon Powell, T.J. Hockenson

Jefferson was trending in the right direction, but we were hoping for a full practice out of him on Friday. If he misses again, Addison and Hockenson should continue to control much of Joshua Dobbs' target share.

As for Mattison, Ty Chandler could be taking a heavy workload in his absence, making him a low-end RB2.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel says nothing final yet but is “very optimistic” about RB De’Von Achane playing Sunday vs. Raiders.

Guard Robert Hunt is ruled OUT. McDaniel said it’d be “pretty risky” to play Sunday.

Chase Claypool had a minor knee procedure over the bye week. He’s week-to-week.

If Achane is cleared for Sunday, you absolutely have to get him in your lineup as an explosive RB1 option. Still, Mostert can be used as well, even in the same lineup.

Texans' RB Dameon Pierce (ankle), WR Noah Brown (knee), and S Jimmie Ward (hamstring) did not practice today.

Even as the Texans' offense rotates skill position players on and off the injured list, the offense has been exploding as of late. If Pierce misses, Devin Singletary gets bumped into the RB2 range once again. If Brown were to miss Week 11, Tank Dell and a returning Nico Collins are both borderline WR2 options in a solid matchup against the Cardinals' defense.
