Outlook De'Von Achane

De'Von Achane vs KC — Expect heavy touch volume despite tough script

Anchoring Miami's backfield, Achane has dominated touches with a 77.5% carry share over the first two games. While the offense has faced growing pains with Malik Willis under center, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik emphasized keeping Achane heavily featured, and backup Jaylen Wright's questionable status only solidifies his massive workload.

Facing the Chiefs as significant home underdogs could push Miami into a trailing, pass-heavy game script, which plays directly to Achane's receiving strengths. Our projections expect around 18.2 fantasy points on roughly 15 carries and four catches. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold on Track to Return in Favorable Road Matchup

After missing most of the first two games with a glute injury, Darnold logged a full practice and is on track to start Sunday against the Commanders. With primary targets Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp available, Seattle's passing attack regains stability under center.

Facing an 0-2 Washington squad, Darnold still carries volatility in his first contest back. Our models project a modest outing around 177 passing yards and 1.4 passing touchdowns (12.2 fantasy points). With Seattle heavily favored and potentially leaning on the ground game, fantasy managers should view him as a cautious streaming or superflex option.
