De'Von Achane has replaced Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as the go-to players on the Miami Dolphins offense
It's not a secret that the Miami Dolphins offense has looked different in 2024, and the biggest eye-opener is that through eight games there's a new headliner.Achane has become the featured player in the offense — along with Tua Tagovailoa obviously — and the stats scream that out.
The last Dolphins running back to lead the team in receptions was Terry Kirby, and he did that all the way back in 1995, two years after he also accomplished the feat with 75 catches, a team record for running backs.More significantly, he's got 722 yards for scrimmage, easily the highest total on the team. Hill is second with 446 yards on his 34 receptions.
After his terrific rookie season when he set an NFL record by averaging 8 yards per carry, Achane has been the lead back from the start of 2024, overtaking Raheem Mostert for the top spot.
