Thoughts on Devon Achane for the future?

Though he has been shockingly good at it when he has

Sure he’s not the safest pick

But I’m a ceiling fantasy player and the trades or players I’ve seen people debating Achane vs is laughable to me

Jamaal Charles

He wasn’t

And, he’s also CJ2K, calling that a comp just isn’t fair imo

191 lbs and taller he had a even lower BMI

Why isn’t it fair?

It’s literally his closest comp size and athletic profile

Where do you see 191?

He was 197 at the combine and playing weight was listed over 200

He had higher bmi

Not what I’m seeing

CJ2K was bigger and is also among the fastest players in history. Achane is fast, not that fast

I mean he’s not exactly Johnson lol

Of course he’s not a clone

It’s his closest Comp

Was Johnson a few lbs heavier yes - small yes Was Johnson fastest ever yes - achane is the 4th fastest ever

Definitely increased injury risk because of his size, but RB position is injury prone position anyway - not avoiding his upside because of his size

It’s been obvious the running back position is changing in the league, not every team goes w the workhorse type back. And even the “traditional” backs get hurt. And often imo just look at Chubb and saquon.

I think teams are more and more adapting a 2 rb set where there’s a bulkier workhorse guy and a smaller, speedy utility guy like achane. I think that set Miami has gives him a chance to have longer term success and put up great fantasy numbers

If you feel like you arnt getting a steal for him, dont do it… Im very scared for his future as a player, in his first season he played very few games, but those games were good… Achane is very boom or bust…

Id stay away from him imo
