Dolphins' RB Depth Tested After Achane's Season-Ending Injury
4 Oct
Summary
- De'Von Achane suffered a torn ACL in Week 3, ending his season.
- Jaylen Wright and Olli Gordon II are the primary running backs.
- Ollie Gordon II is projected to go under 21.5 rushing yards.
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is out for the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL during Week 3's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This significant injury leaves the team's offense without one of its key playmakers.
Jaylen Wright and Olli Gordon II are now the expected primary options in the Dolphins' backfield. While Wright is listed higher on the depth chart, Gordon saw considerable carries in Week 3. With Wright expected to return for Week 4, a timeshare situation is anticipated against the Minnesota Vikings' formidable defense.
Betting insights suggest caution regarding Gordon's performance. One prop bet specifically targets Olli Gordon II to achieve UNDER 21.5 rushing yards, citing concerns about a potentially limited workload due to Wright's return and the Vikings' strong defensive statistics against the run. This situation presents a considerable challenge for Miami's offense.
