De’Von Achane enters the 2026 NFL season as the clear focal point of Miami’s rebuilt offense under new head coach Jeff Hafley and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, who have emphasized a run-heavy approach with the dual-threat Malik Willis at quarterback. Fresh off a four-year extension and a 2025 campaign of 1,350 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 238 carries, Achane has recovered fully from offseason shoulder surgery and is expected to handle a heavy workload of 20-plus touches per game. This volume, combined with his league-leading 5.7 yards per carry and explosive playmaking, positions him for increased goal-line opportunities despite a projected weaker overall Dolphins attack that could limit red-zone trips. Potential offsets include designed runs for Willis and durability questions tied to Achane’s smaller frame under sustained usage.
