I’m taking on a bit of risk with Devin Neal, who’s been limited in practice, but with Alvin Kamara missing Wednesday’s session and Neal playing 86% of the snaps after Kamara exited last week, Neal could function as an RB1 at an RB2 price. If Kamara sits, this TD number could close around +150 to +160. If Kamara plays, it probably drifts to +400 or higher. Taysom Hill is always a threat to steal a score, but his price is too short to justify. Miami isn’t an intimidating matchup this late in the season in Miami, making Neal worth the early grab.

EV Model Rating

De'Von Achane has been more involved as a potential target this season (74.6% Route Participation% in games he has been on the field) than he did last season (61.2%).. In this week's contest, De'Von Achane is predicted by the projections to find himself in the 100th percentile among running backs with 7.5 targets.. De'Von Achane has accrued a whopping 3.0 air yards per game this year: 91st percentile when it comes to RBs. (This may not seem like a lot, but most RBs average negative air yards because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage).. With an impressive 32.0 adjusted receiving yards per game (97th percentile) this year, De'Von Achane rates as one of the top pass-catching running backs in the NFL.. This year, the anemic New Orleans Saints pass defense has been torched for a monstrous 90.6% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing running backs: the worst rate in the league.

This week's line suggests a rushing game script for the Dolphins, who are favored by 5.5 points.. The projections expect the Miami Dolphins to be the 10th-most run-focused offense in football (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 40.6% run rate.. The predictive model expects De'Von Achane to total 19.1 carries in this week's game, on balance, putting him in the 94th percentile when it comes to RBs.. De'Von Achane has been a more integral piece of his offense's run game this season (66.1% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (46.4%).. De'Von Achane's 68.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this year indicates an impressive progression in his running ability over last year's 50.0 mark.
