Hafley: Dolphins RBs 'to have their roles'

David Furones on X

Sep 28 · 5:34 PM EDT

On whether the Dolphins will operate with RB by committee without De'Von Achane, coach Jeff Hafley said: "They're all going to have their roles."

Related player: Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Jarquez Hunter

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon will be a popular pickup this week in waivers, and at least for the short term could benefit the most in terms of workload. But this is looking like it's heading to a committee. Wright missed Week 3 with a stinger and foot injury and we don't yet know his status for Week 4. The team also has Hunter who was a prospect with the Rams before signing with the Dolphins practice squad. Hunter could jump right into action as the RB2 if Wright is out again this week. With all the injuries to RBs lately, it's worth taking a flier on any of the three.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane tore ACL, out for season

Dolphins star RB De’Von Achane suffered a torn ACL, sources tell me and Adam Schefter, and he’s out for the season.

Related players: Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Jarquez Hunter

Fantasy Impact:

This was the news we all feared not long after Achane left the game and headed to the locker room in Week 3. It had been a slow start to the season for Achane, but the hope was the volume would be there in both the rushing and passing games at some point soon. Given the timing, Achane certainly has a chance to be back in time for next season. Meanwhile, Wright and Gordon will now likely take over the workload at RB going forward. Wright was out in Week 3 with a foot injury and a stinger, leaving Gordon as the main back where he rushed 17 times for 41 yards and a TD while adding three catches for 14 yards against the Chiefs. With Wright's status unsure for Week 4, Gordon looks to be the better add off the wire - at least in the short term. But, when both backs are healthy this could be a full-on committee. The team has Hunter on the practice squad as well, who was a nice prospect who got drafted by the Rams.

WR Tutu Atwell gets traded back to the Rams

Trade: Dolphins traded WR Tutu Atwell back to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for RB Jarquez Hunter, sources tell ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

Atwell gives the Rams a familiar situational deep threat but remains unlikely to command enough volume for redraft relevance.

As for Miami, Atwell’s departure strengthens the roster cases for Tolbert, Douglas, and Bell. Hunter’s strong preseason gives him an opportunity to compete with Wright and Gordon behind De’Von Achane, though it doesn't shift anything for fantasy managers at the moment.

Dolphins told RB De'Von Achane to be ready for big workload

Pro Football Talk

Aug 11 · 9:10 AM EDT

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley told Rich Eisen that De'Von Achane is going to have some games when he’ll be such a workhorse that he’ll hardly be able to walk back to the locker room when it’s over.

“I just gave Achane a heads-up this morning and I told him you better be in good shape,” Hafley said. “I told him there might be some games when I have to pick him up and carry him back to the locker room because he’s going to be so tired. I told him I don’t ever want to see one of these head taps all year, and he looked me right in the eye and he said, ‘You’ll never get that head tap from me.’"

Fantasy Impact:

No NFL player has had 40 touches in a game since Derrick Henry had 41 in a game in 2021, the story said. This report likely has a bit of sarcasm to it, but in the right game that remains close throughout, it's possible the Dolphins rely on Achane to close it out, and he can get to that 40-touch total - especially considering his use in the passing game. The Dolphins have Wright and Gordon as well, so to give Achane a consistent, large workload doesn't seem all that likely. He averaged about 19 touches a game last season.
