De’Von Achane suffered torn ACL in loss to Chiefs

De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

Player Stats

De’Von Achane suffered a torn ACL in the Dolphins’ Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, ending his season.

It felt like things were trending in this direction when head coach Jeff Hafley said after the game that he was not “optimistic” about Achane’s injury, but now the worst has confirmed. The 0-3 Dolphins will now be without their best playmaker for the remainder of the season, creating yet another challenge for an offense that ranks 31st in points per game (12.0 PPG) and 26th in yards per game (290.7 YPG) through the first three weeks of the season. Ollie Gordon will become a priority add off of waivers this week after he rushed for 17-41-1 in place of Achane, but his upside will be limited in what is one of the worst offenses in the league. Third-year vet Jaylen Wright could also be worth a stash. Wright missed Week 3’s game with a stringer/foot injury.

Ollie Gordon

MIA Running Back #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said all running backs on the roster are “going to have their roles.”

In other words, expect a committee. Ollie Gordon remains the most likely back to chair the committee in the short-term as he’s actually healthy while Jaylen Wright missed last week’s game and has just seven snaps this year in two games while active to Gordon’s 15 in the first two weeks. This all feels a little desperate given how poor the Dolphins have looked, but volume at running back is volume at running back in a year where many RB2 stabs have disappointed early.
Ollie Gordon

MIA Running Back #0

Ollie Gordon rushed 17 times for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, adding three receptions for 14 yards.

Gordon entered this afternoon with only three touches all season, but was pressed into every-down duty after De’Von Achane suffered a potentially serious knee injury on the game’s opening series. Fellow backup Jaylen Wright was inactive with a foot issue. Gordon mostly held up well, though he himself briefly went into the locker room with cramping issues. He returned after getting an IV. With Achane evidently staring at a long absence, Gordon is a priority waivers add, though he and Wright will undoubtedly form a committee for this undermanned offense. The question is who gets the strong side. It wouldn’t be surprising if Wright assumed primary early-down status with Gordon changing the pace. That would require Wright being healthy, of course. We will keep you updated.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said the team is not “optimistic” about RB De’Von Achane’s knee injury.

The team is still gathering information on Achane’s knee injury, but the early indications are not good. The Dolphins’ star player seemingly twisted his left knee while having his jersey pulled from behind by a Chiefs defender. Achane may be out for an extended period. Dolphins backup RB Jaylen Wright (foot/stinger) was inactive today, and fellow backup RB Ollie Gordon missed time in-game due to cramping.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Dolphins’ Week 3 game against the Chiefs.

Deemed questionable in the first quarter, Achane was officially ruled out to begin the second half. Obviously terrible news, though Achane did remain on the sideline in uniform, albeit sans his shoulder pads. Still, a player dealing with a long-term injury would typically remain in the locker room. Perhaps there is hope for Achane to suit up in Week 4 against the Vikings. But for now, fantasy managers need to consider second-year pro Ollie Gordon a must add. Jaylen Wright could also end up in the mix, but he’s inactive for Week 3 with a foot issue.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane was forced from the Dolphins’ Week 3 game against the Chiefs with a knee injury and is questionable to return.

Achane planted awkwardly after a first series catch-and-run. He remained down on the field for an eternity before walking extremely slowly to the sideline. He then headed to the blue tent before slowly making his way to the locker room. Achane seemed to be trying to “walk it off,” but he also seemed to not be succeeding. He did not have the looks of a player likely to return, but he wasn’t really limping and did not require the assistance of a cart. Ollie Gordon is the only other Dolphins back dressed for Week 3. Stay tuned.
Jaylen Wright

MIA Running Back #5

Dolphins declared RB Jaylen Wright (foot/stinger), WR Caleb Douglas (ankle), EDGE Rob Beal Jr. (hamstring), QB Brady Cook, DB Marcellas Dial Jr., G DJ Campbell and T Chukwuebuka Godrick inactive for Miami’s Week 3 game against the Chiefs.

CB JuJu Brents and WR Ryan Miller will play off questionable tags. Wright has fallen behind Ollie Gordon in the pecking order, though nobody is really making any fantasy hay in the Miami backfield given the talent surrounding them.
Jaylen Wright

MIA Running Back #5

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (stinger/foot) is doubtful for Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Wright was unable to practice on Friday. He is very unlikely to play, although his absence may only be felt in the return game. Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon will serve as the top backup.
Jaylen Wright

MIA Running Back #5

Jaylen Wright (stinger/foot) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Wright and Ollie Gordon each have three carries this year. De’Von Achane has 31. Even if the backup role gets narrowed to just Gordon, there isn’t any fantasy value to be had behind Achane.
De'Von Achane

MIA Running Back #28

De’Von Achane rushed 20 times for 74 yards in a Week 2 loss to the 49ers, adding 19 receiving yards on three catches.

Achane is the Dolphins’ entire offense, but, unfortunately, opponents know as well. He still looks explosive when he has the ball in his hands and has enough wiggle to make a few defenders miss, but there are defenders cramped in the box every time he touches the ball. The Dolphins try to get him the ball sometimes in the passing game, but he caught just three of six targets from Malik Willis, and those two are not on the same page yet. The positive news is that Achane played on 45 of the team’s 56 snaps and ran a route on 18 of the team’s 30 dropbacks, so he is going to be on the field a lot. It’s hard to envision him finding more running room next week against the Chiefs though.
Malik Willis

MIA Quarterback #2

Dolphins QB Malik Willis said he knows he must take fewer sacks in Week 2 against the 49ers.

Willis stood in the pocket, holding onto the ball too long when trailing the Raiders in the second half last week. He is currently nursing a toe injury, though scrambling faster, or at least throwing on the run, might help him achieve his new goal. Checking down to explosive RB De’Von Achane would also be smart, but the South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s David Furones instead highlighted Willis’ strong connection with rookie WR Caleb Douglas in his article on the subject. Getting the ball out of his hands quickly to either player would be a smart move. Willis’ Dolphins will likely be trailing often in the second half. Developing go-to responses to this situation would help out all involved for fantasy purposes.

He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Bech had five catches for 48 yards and a touchdown in the first two weeks of the season, but played just 11 snaps in Week 3 before fracturing his forearm. The Raiders signed Cody White — he of the three touchdowns in the last two weeks — to the active roster as his replacement.

Brian Thomas

JAC Wide Receiver #7
Player Stats

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Brian Thomas Jr. played only 23 snaps in Week 3 because the Jaguars “were playing in a little bit more 12 and also some of the things that we had Josh [Cameron] on specifically were things that we felt good about him doing within a role that he has.”

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes that Cameron’s usage (23 snaps) could make it “stand[s] to reason Thomas could quickly become the fourth option instead” in a column that says he believes a “new start would be best for both parties.” It sounds like there’s a non-zero chance that Thomas is on the trade block at the deadline, as weird as that seems given how good the Jaguars have been on offense. Thomas isn’t necessarily someone who has to be rostered in shallow leagues given how things are trending.

Titans signed RB Michael Carter to their active roster.

Carter joins what is now a five-man RB room of Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Julius Chestnut, and Nicholas Singleton. It’s an interesting move in the sense that perhaps it portends a follow-up, or perhaps one of Pollard or Spears are in real danger of missing this week’s game after Spears was questionable and Pollard spent time on the injury report in Week 3. Spears wound up playing 28 snaps despite seeing just three touches against the Giants.

Bears coach Ben Johnson said “we’ll see how it plays out all week” when asked about who would start at quarterback in Week 4.

It’s worth noting that Brad Biggs quotes Johnson as saying “We’ll have a discussion as a coaching staff and we’ll see where we need to go from here ... But I said it last week, and I’ll say it again, there was a reason why Tyson [Bagent] ended training camp as our No. 2 quarterback” in the post-game scrum. It seems wild that a backup quarterback could play as well as Case Keenum did on Monday Night and not start in Week 4 on account of another backup quarterback, but it does feel like the winds are leaning there as things stand on Tuesday.

Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1
Player Stats

Titans coach Robert Saleh said “no” when asked if he’d consider sitting QB Cam Ward.

Ward’s gotten off to a slow start in 2026, completing 62.5 percent of his passes for a meager 504 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He has improved his sack rate quite a bit, cutting it from 9.2 percent in 2025 to 5.38 percent so far this year. The Titans backup is Mitch Trubisky. It is probably too soon to give up on Ward, but it doesn’t bode well for his future that Saleh is already being asked the question. Ward will be one of the bottom five quarterbacks in the Week 4 fantasy rankings against the Ravens.
