Running Backs to Target in Fantasy Football Drafts
De’Von Achane, Miami Dolphins
De’Von Achane averaged 17.3 fantasy points per game as a rookie and 17.6 as a sophomore. On the surface, he looks like he’s remarkably consistent. But those two seasons could not have been more different.
We’ve seen two versions of Achane. As a rookie, he was a low-volume/high-efficiency splash-play specialist. As a sophomore, he was still efficient, but nowhere near the levels of his rookie year, relying much more on raw volume.

Most importantly, all it would take for Achane to have a real shot is a full season of Tua Tagovailoa. Last year, he averaged 22.5 points per game in 11 games with Tua, yet just 8.6 without him. That is easily the most glaring split of any running back.
If we get a full season of Tagovailoa combined with Achane marrying his 2024 volume with more of his 2023 efficiency, we’re talking Christian McCaffrey levels of upside.
Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bucky Irving exceeded all expectations as a third-round rookie. He averaged 14.4 points per game and finished as the RB19 overall. It was an incredible return on investment for a glorified handcuff pick in fantasy drafts.
However, Irving wasn’t really the RB19. He was unstartable for the first five weeks of the season, playing well behind Rachaad White. Eventually, though, head coach Todd Bowles figured out that Irving was far superior and, combined with White’s untimely fumbles, led to the eventual rookie takeover.
From Weeks 6-18, Irving averaged 16.9 fantasy points per game. If we further isolate his stats to post the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 11 bye, we get 18.3. Now let’s remove Irving’s 2.8 points from Week 14 when he left with an injury after only a handful of snaps, and we get a 20.9 average.
The Bucs have one of the best run-blocking offensive lines, and Irving is now entrenched as the clear starter. They also have a subpar defense in a division conducive to shootouts.
