De’Von Achane enters the 2026 season as the clear focal point of Miami’s run-heavy offense under new coordinator Bobby Slowik, following a four-year extension and a 2025 campaign of 1,350 rushing yards on 5.7 yards per carry. Through two weeks, however, the Dolphins sit at 0-2 with Achane managing just 110 yards on 31 carries at 3.5 yards per attempt while facing stacked boxes and an ineffective passing attack led by dual-threat quarterback Malik Willis. Early volume has increased to 20-plus touches per game, yet goal-line work and explosive runs remain limited, with zero rushing scores recorded. Upcoming schedule difficulty, continued defensive attention on the backfield, and potential designed runs or red-zone carries for Willis represent key variables that could further shape Achane’s touchdown totals over the full 17-game slate.
