Achane (toe) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Achane approached the contest listed as questionable after having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, before working in a limited fashion Friday. Now that the dynamic rookie's active status has been confirmed, Achane will be available to continue to work in tandem with fellow RB Raheem Mostert. Even in a context in which the two work in some form of a time-share scenario, Achane has enough playmaking ability to yield fantasy dividends in Week 15, assuming no in-game limitations or setbacks.

Achane (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after logging a limited practice Friday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After having been estimated as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday, Achane was able to work in a limited fashion Friday, which gives him a chance to suit up this weekend. Ideally, added context regarding Achane's Week 15 status will arrive as Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, but if he ends up limited or out versus New York, Jeff Wilson would be in line to log added backfield work behind Raheem Mostert (knee).

Achane (toe) was listed as a non-participant for Thursday's walk-through practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane now has been estimated as a non-participant on both of the Dolphins' first two Week 15 injury report, and head coach Mike McDaniel noted prior to Thursday's session that the rookie running back is an "unknown" for Sunday's game against the Jets at this stage of the week, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald. The Dolphins are likely to hold a more traditional practice Friday, and if Achane is able to get back on the field in some capacity, he could clear up some of the concern about his status heading into Sunday. If Achane ends up sitting out against the Jets, starter Raheem Mostert (knee) could handle a larger share of the snaps out of the backfield, while Jeff Wilson would likely be in store for an expanded role as the No. 2 option.

Achane was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a toe injury.
EDGE Analysis
Achane appeared on the Dolphins' Week 14 injury report due to a rib issue, though he was listed as a full practice participant Thursday through Saturday before he played 31 snaps and finished with 71 yards from scrimmage on 12 touches (seven carries, five receptions) in a 28-27 loss to Tennessee on Monday. The rookie running back is tending to a new injury Week 15, and unlike last week, he'll end up missing some practice reps as a result. If Achane is able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday or Friday, it would assuage some of the concern about his health heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Achane rushed seven times for 47 yards while catching five of nine targets for 24 yards in Monday's 28-27 loss to the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Achane played second fiddle on the ground to Raheem Mostert, who rushed 21 times for 96 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie running back actually led Miami in targets as star receiver Tyreek Hill was in and out of the game with an ankle injury, but Achane wasn't nearly as effective at getting into the open field without a healthy Hill on hand to divert the defense's attention. This was the first time in seven NFL appearances that Achane finished with double digits in yards from scrimmage, as he previously had two games with fewer than 10 and four with over 100. He'll likely continue to work in a prominent change-of-pace role behind Mostert in Week 15 against the Jets.

Achane rushed 17 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns and brought in three of four targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 45-15 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return from a near two-game absence due to a reoccurrence of the knee injury that had led to a four-game stint on injured reserve, Achane was sparingly used early but saw his opportunity ramp up as the Dolphins expanded their lead. Achane ultimately garnered eight more touches than backfield mate Raheem Mostert, although that appeared to be the byproduct of game script. Nevertheless, Achane's electric speed is difficult to keep off the field, so he'll enjoy a solid complementary role, at minimum, in a Week 14 Monday night home matchup against the Titans on Dec. 11.

Achane (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dolphins made it official a few hours after coach Mike McDaniel announced Achane was ready to return. The rookie had a setback with his knee in his first game back from a stint on injured reserve, but the Dolphins don't seem too worried about a significant aggravation occurring. Achane figures to share backfield work with Raheem Mostert and possibly Jeff Wilson as well.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Achane (knee) will play Sunday against the Commanders, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains to be seen whether Achane is given an injury designation when Miami's Week 13 injury report comes out later Friday, but even if he winds up getting a questionable tag, the team plans for the rookie running back to make his return Sunday. Achane has missed five of the past six games due to a knee injury, but he preceded this stretch of unavailability with 518 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns over a three-game span.

Achane (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets last Friday, Achane has opened Week 13 prep with a pair of limited practices. Though the aggravation his knee injury doesn't look to be anything that will put him at risk of another stint on injured reserve, Achane may need to put in a full practice Friday to avoid a second straight missed game this Sunday in Washington. If Achane can't play, Jeff Wilson would likely be in line to work in a supporting role behind lead back Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee).

Achane (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane also was listed as limited each day last week, after aggravating his knee injury in the first quarter of a Week 11 win over the Raiders. He ended up missing the Dolphins' 34-13 win over the Jets last Friday, but a return for this Sunday's game at Washington is possible given that the Dolphins reportedly aren't expecting him to be headed for another long-term absence. Jeff Wilson will likely serve as the top backup to Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) again in the event Achane misses another game.
