De'Von Achane enters the 2026 season as the focal point of Miami's revamped offense under new coordinator Bobby Slowik and quarterback Malik Willis, following a four-year extension. The Dolphins project as one of the league's weaker units, prompting defenses to stack the box against the run and limiting early efficiency—Achane has posted 31 carries for 110 yards at 3.5 yards per attempt with zero rushing touchdowns through two games. His prior explosiveness, including a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry and eight rushing scores in 2025, positions him for volume in a run-leaning scheme, though red-zone opportunities may hinge on improved passing support and offensive line performance. Week 3 against the Chiefs and the extended schedule will test workload sustainability amid potential stacked fronts and a challenging matchup slate.
