De’Von Achane enters the 2026 season as the clear focal point of a re-tooled Miami offense under new head coach Jeff Hafley and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, who have emphasized a run-heavy approach after the departures of Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins signed the 24-year-old to a four-year extension worth approximately $68 million and plan to feature him heavily as the lead back behind dual-threat quarterback Malik Willis. Achane returns fully healthy after offseason shoulder surgery and posted eight rushing touchdowns on 238 carries in 2025 while leading the team in receptions. However, Miami projects as a bottom-tier offense, raising questions about red-zone volume and whether designed runs or carries for Willis will limit Achane’s scoring chances despite his elite explosiveness and receiving skills.
