Dolphins’ Achane anticipates larger role in revamped offense

De’Von Achane prepares for a significant role in the Miami Dolphins' offense during the 2026 season. With top teammates like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle gone, Achane is positioned as the standout in the backfield. After a successful previous season with 1,350 rushing yards and 67 receptions, he aims to maintain his performance while assuming a leadership role. Coach Jeff Hafley highlighted Achane's dynamism and ability to contribute both rushing and receiving. The running back is adjusting to the need for greater vocal leadership among teammates, having signed a four-year contract extension worth up to $68 million.
