Dolphins RB De'Von Achane suffered a rib injury in Week 14’s 34-10 win over the Jets after landing awkwardly on the ball during a second-quarter carry. Thanks to an extra day of rest before Monday Night Football, Achane has received extra treatment and appears on track to return for Miami's crucial Monday Night Football road clash against the Steelers.
The Fins' offense thrived even after Achane exited early, but the the team has, naturally, been far more dynamic when he’s leading the backfield. The Texas A&M product ranks among the league leaders with 5.9 yards per carry and has surpassed 100 scrimmage yards in five straight games.
Let's get the latest De'Von Achane injury update to see if he'll play tonight, and look at the stats and PrizePicks projections for Monday Night Football.

Dolphins Fantasy Football Outlook with De’Von Achane for Week 15 on MNF
Achane's exit in Week 14 gave RB Jaylen Wright a chance to take over the Fins' offensive backfield, and he capitalized with 24 carries for 107 yards and a TD. After the game, head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane was “available to come back in an emergency” but opted not to push it with the game in hand.
Now fully cleared, Achane resumes his role as Miami’s lead back for this key primetime matchup. During the Dolphins’ four-game winning streak, the offense has averaged 25.3 points and 334 yards per contest, with Achane contributing over 150 total yards per game. His return gives Miami’s offense another gear as the team looks to solidify its playoff standing.
