Latest takes
“The tremendous receiver tandem of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens helped his cause, as did 1,200-yard running back Javonte Williams, 82-catch tight end Jake Ferguson and No. 3 wideout Ryan Flournoy.”
Connor Byrne· Jul 4“Never mind that George Pickens will cut into CeeDee Lamb's target share in Dallas, and vice versa. Lamb and Pickens play in one of the league's most prolific passing attacks, which makes both of them appealing draft targets.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Jul 3“If you're happy to believe 2025 was a blip rather than the new normal, it becomes easier to see Lamb as a value pick in this range. Betting on Lamb's well-established connection with Dak Prescott and this team as a whole to bounce back isn't the worst bet in the world.”

“It was a really disappointing 2025 for CeeDee Lamb, posting the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets (117), receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,077), with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns. The newly arrived George Pickens recorded a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson, who led the team with 23.1%.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 30“The CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens wide receiver combination was the most efficient duo in 2025 at drawing beneficial penalties in this category.”
Joe Gibbs· Jun 29“The newly arrived George Pickens recorded a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson, who led the team with 23.1%. Contrast this to 2024, when Lamb had a 27.7% red-zone target share and led the team by 10%.”

“Among 43 running backs with at least 150 touches last season, De'Von Achane was second in yards per touch (6.0), sixth in scrimmage yards (1,838), and first in runs that gained 10-plus yards (16.8%).”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“It's hard, though, not to be concerned that his numbers in the receiving game could dip significantly without Tua Tagovailoa, having averaged five targets per game with him and 2.45 without him. The offense has no weapons, and if they can't move the ball and stay on the field, it could be catastrophic for Achane's value.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 30“Last season, De'Von Achane exceeded his previous career-high 907 rushing yards by 443 rushing yards (1,350). He surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his career while hitting 85+ targets for the second consecutive year. It's hard, though, not to be concerned that his numbers in the receiving game could dip significantly without Tua Tagovailoa, having averaged five targets per game with him and 2.45 without him.”

“De'Von Achane's recent Dolphins extension of four years and $64MM has Robinson and Gibbs potentially positioned to eclipse this deal on their second contracts and reset the market as a whole.”
Adam La Rose· Jun 26“New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has publicly identified running back De'Von Achane as a core player he would like to retain, and he has since given lucrative extensions to Achane and center Aaron Brewer.”
Connor Byrne· Jun 25“Malik Willis, however, could impact Achane's targets due to his propensity to break from the pocket. This tendency will rob Achane of the checkdown volume that he enjoyed with Tua Tagoviloa under center.”
Vernon Meighan· Jun 24“We would be kidding ourselves if we didn't consider Achane to be the centerpiece of the Dolphins' offense and our fantasy rosters. Stacking this receiving production on top of the leader of 40+ yard rushes since 2023 feels like cheating, but because of this, he will be the highest-scoring Dolphin for fantasy this year.”
Vernon Meighan· Jun 24“Achane is certainly talented enough to overcome these obstacles, but the concerns around him aren't factored into his early second-round average draft position (ADP). I'm not projecting him to fall into RB3 territory, but an RB2 finish is certainly plausible, which would be a major disappointment.”
Kyle Zeigler· Jun 22“I was high on De'Von Achane last season, and I still expect him to get a ton of usage. Repeating his 2025 season, however, feels a bit lofty. The massive season came under Mike McDaniel's offense, which featured one of the league's most creative rushing attacks. McDaniel is now in Los Angeles as the Chargers' offensive coordinator.”
Kyle Zeigler· Jun 22“This season, Malik Willis is slated to be under center for Miami. He's a dual-threat passer who will take away some of Achane's receiving opportunities when he decides to tuck it and run. If Achane gets roughly 75-80% of the targets he's been getting, he'll be a fine second-round selection. But if the receptions plummet, he'll be hard-pressed to pay off his fantasy football ADP.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 20“De'Von Achane is currently going just outside of round one with an ADP of 15.5, but that has more to do with uncertainty around his offensive environment than his talent. Since 2024, Achane has amassed 145 receptions for 1,080 yards and 10 scores through the air. In 2025, 43.3% of Achane's fantasy points came via receiving. In 2024, it was an absurd 57.8%.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 20“De'Von Achane has been terrific throughout his NFL career, but when Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill weren't on the field, Achane saw significant target share increases (14.8%, 18.4%, and 15.6% respectively). However, with the Dolphins having almost no receiving talent besides Achane and a new quarterback in Malik Willis who saw limited time as a starter, a top-five result might be a bit lofty despite his expected volume.”
Richard Janvrin· Jun 19“Miami RBs Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II are competing for time as De'Von Achane's primary backup.”
Logan Ulrich· Jun 18“As for his first impression of HC Jeff Hafley, Achane said he's noticing the relationships he's building with their entire roster. "Great coach. This is my first time having a head coach that's a defensive guy, so I'm always telling him like, OK, get on the defensive side of the ball, but he's a great coach, man. You see now the relationships he's building, he's trying to get to know everybody."”
Tony Camino· Jun 12“Achane mentioned on a podcast that he doesn't have time to be on a rebuilding team. He explained he can't have the mindset that they are going to "lose every game." "As a football player that's a competitor, the rebuild phrase for me it's like, OK, they're basically saying we're going out here to lose every game."”
