De’Von Achane enters the 2026 season as Miami’s clear lead back following a four-year extension, with Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II providing depth. The Dolphins’ offense has started 0-2 under new quarterback Malik Willis and coordinator Bobby Slowik, producing limited red-zone opportunities and forcing defenses to stack the box against the speed back. Achane has posted zero rushing touchdowns through two games while averaging 3.5 yards per carry on 31 attempts, a sharp drop from his 5.7 YPC and eight rushing scores in 2025. He returned from offseason shoulder surgery fully cleared for training camp and has shouldered a heavy early workload, though the rebuilding unit’s passing limitations and tough early schedule have constrained scoring chances so far.
