De’Von Achane enters the 2026 season as the clear offensive centerpiece for a restructured Miami Dolphins team under new head coach Jeff Hafley and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Coming off a 2025 campaign with 1,350 rushing yards on 238 carries (5.7 yards per attempt, tops among qualified backs) plus 67 receptions, Achane received a four-year extension and has been fully cleared after offseason shoulder surgery. The Dolphins’ run-heavy scheme and loss of perimeter weapons position him for elevated volume, with coaches signaling 20-plus touches per game and minimal backfield competition beyond Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon. However, the overhauled offense featuring quarterback Malik Willis projects as one of the league’s weaker units, raising questions about efficiency, scoring opportunities, and long-term workload sustainability for the 5-foot-9 back.
