Breece Hall
vs De'Von Achane

“Jason : Breece Hall @ TEN Hall will play despite suffering a groin injury a few weeks ago. Jason projects Breece for about 20 opportunities against an uninspiring Titans defense. WRs Andy : DeVonta Smith vs WAS Smith averaged a 37% target share in games without AJ Brown over the past four seasons.”

“Breece Hall had a tough time last year despite finishing as the RB20 in fantasy points per game.”

“Breece Hall (RB – NYJ) Currently going as the RB16 in PPR leagues, Breece Hall was the RB17 in the same format last season.”

“Breece Hall’s reception totals have declined every season, but I’m hoping that with more consistent quarterback play from Geno Smith and more weapons at the receiver and tight end positions, his usage will be much better in 2026. Still, Hall did turn 243 carries and 36 catches into more than 1,400 total yards.”

“Hall should see an increase in targets, especially considering Ashton Jeanty saw 69 targets with Smith under center for the Raiders last season. If Hall sees more opportunities in the passing game, his receiving role alone justifies taking him in the dead zone.”

“With Geno Smith commanding the offense, this may be the most stable quarterback Hall has played with in his young career. That said, we are also coming off a horrific season for Smith with the Raiders in 2026.”

“Hall is also due for some positive regression in the passing game. After catching 76 passes in 2023 and 57 in 2024, he was held to just 36 last season. Hall still posted the third-best yards per reception among running backs last season.”

“The projections call for more than 1,500 total yards, nearly 50 receptions, and close to double-digit touchdowns. Hall remains one of the league's most efficient runners on a per-touch basis.”

“The sportsbooks have Achane ranked as a low-end RB1 on the week. Parker Washington | WR, Jacksonville Jaguars Sportsbook Rank: WR11 Expert Consensus Rank: WR22 Even the biggest Parker Washington bull couldn’t dream up a better start to the season. Washington ranks third in yards per route run (4.52), second in targets per route run (45%), second in target share (35%), eighth in receiving yards (181), and tenth in fantasy points (18.1 PPG).”

“I’m expecting the Dolphins to get down big in this one, so unless Achane catches a bunch of dump-offs, he’s probably in for another tough fantasy day.” – Wolf Trelles-Heard ( FantasyPros )”

“De’Von Achane’s role has been unimpeachable. He ranks second among running backs in snap share (83%), first in route rate (74%), second in target share (22%) and fifth in rush share (76%). But a team-wide lack of volume has left him ranked just 15th in expected half-PPR points.”

“Malik Willis and De'Von Achane can scoot. Among 74 running backs with at least 150 rush attempts since 2023, Achane is first in yards per carry (5.62) and first in explosive run rate (16.6%).”

“While McDaniel was head coach in Miami, De’Von Achane averaged 5.6 yards per carry, scored 35 touchdowns in 44 games, and had seasons with 78 and 67 catches. Achane and Hampton have wildly different body types – Achane weighs less than 200 pounds; Hampton is a 220-pound brute – but it’s hard to look at the ways McDaniels used Achane without getting excited about what’s in store for Hampton.”

“De’Von Achane (MIA) Achane was one of five running backs to average over 20 PPR fantasy points per game last year (20.2).”

“De’Von Achane (RB – MIA) Last year, De’Von Achane had more than 450 rushing yards, more than his previous best, and surpassed 1000 yards for the first time in his career while hitting 80 targets for the second consecutive year.”

“But Achane will be sailing into some fierce headwinds this year. The Dolphins’ Vegas win total for 2026 was 4.5 as of this writing – and it was juiced toward the under. Miami’s offensive line is expected to be among the worst in the league.”

“There’s no denying that Achane is an abundantly talented player and a fun watch. He’s averaged 5.6 yards per carry for his career, he’s scored double-digit touchdowns in each of his first three NFL seasons, and he’s had 145 catches over the last two years. Achane finished RB5 in half-point PPR scoring last year.”

“Achane has had a major downgrade in team context. For one, Mike McDaniel is no longer calling plays.”

“For those who are worried about De'Von Achane and the Miami offense struggling so much that he will not be productive, maybe just look back at 2025, when the Dolphins struggled… and he wasn't one of the most consistent RBs in fantasy; he was THE most consistent RB in fantasy. Achane can get it done on the ground and in the air, so regardless of game script, he is a blessing for most fantasy teams.”
