Achane rushed 14 times for 107 yards and secured four of five targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 56-19 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Achane led the Dolphins in rushing yards in the absence of Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee), outpacing backfield mate Jeff Wilson by 11 carries. The rookie also enjoyed a solid role in the passing game on the way to his fifth game with over 100 scrimmage yards. Achane could be poised for a critical role, whether or not Mostert is available, in Sunday's Week 18 home showdown against the Bills that will decide the AFC East title

Achane appears poised to lead the Dolphins backfield Sunday in Baltimore following a report from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) isn't slated to be available for the contest.
EDGE Analysis
For a third consecutive week, Achane tended to a toe injury, ramping up his activity from none Wednesday to some one day later and then a full session Friday. The development was enough for him to avoid a Week 17 game designation, while Mostert's one limited practice to end the week left him questionable to suit up. Miami will be posting its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and assuming Mostert's name is included, Achane should take on No. 1 RB duties for the team, with Jeff Wilson and Chris Brooks in reserve roles.

Achane (toe) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane's toe injury won't keep him off the field Sunday, but there is less certainty over the availability of fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle), whose only practice participation all week came in the form of a limited session Friday. If Mostert plays, he'll likely see the majority of touches in Miami's backfield over Achane and Jeff Wilson. Achane has logged between eight and 12 touches in each of the last three games.

Achane (toe) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the Dolphins' first Week 17 practice session Wednesday, Achane took a step forward in terms of activity a day later. The Dolphins haven't suggested that Achane's lingering toe injury is anything that will seriously threaten his availability for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but fellow running back Raheem Mostert's (knee/ankle) status may be a little more uncertain. Mostert is still expected to play this weekend, but he was a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday and could take a designation into Sunday if he doesn't return to the field Friday as a full participant.

Achane (toe) is participating in Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane missed practice Wednesday due to a toe injury that's lingered in recent weeks, but which didn't keep him out of last Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Still, it's worth noting that Achane wasn't spotted working with his position group Thursday, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, meaning he likely won't take a full slate of reps. Raheem Mostert (ankle) scored versus Dallas but handled only 19 offensive snaps versus Achane's 35, so the health of Miami's backfield will be key to monitor heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens.

Achane (toe) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie running back has been dealing with the toe issue the last few weeks but has played through it. Achane paced the Miami backfield in playing time last week, seeing action on 55 percent of the snaps while Raheem Mostert missed time with a shin problem. Achane has handled single-digit carries in each of the last three contests, posting 7-47-0, 9-32-0 and 7-24-0 rushing lines in that span. Achane hasn't found the end zone since Week 12.

Achane (toe) rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Achane didn't take part in a full practice at any point this week while nursing a toe injury, but he was healthy enough to get clearance prior to kickoff Sunday. The explosive rookie finished with eight touches to starter Raheem Mostert's 12, but the latter scored Miami's only offensive touchdown Sunday and finished with the better fantasy line. Assuming he didn't aggravate his toe, Achane figures to hover around double-digit touches in a road matchup against the Ravens on Dec. 31.

Achane (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cowboys, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane never took part in a full practice this week, but the Dolphins evidently came away encouraged enough from what they saw from the rookie in limited sessions Thursday and Friday to clear him for Sunday's contest. Since returning to action Week 13 following a one-game absence due to a knee issue, Achane hasn't played more than 59 percent of snaps in any of the ensuing three contests, but he's still produced 152 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries (4.6 average) to go with 11 catches for 84 yards during that stretch. Even though Raheem Mostert remains Option 1A out of the Miami backfield, the explosive Achane still sees enough touches to make for a high-upside weekly fantasy play.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that he expects Achane (toe) to play Sunday gainst the Cowboys, Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDaniel mentioned that Achane has been playing through injuries in recent weeks, so there's a still a decent chance that the rookie running back will carry an injury designation into Sunday's game. Before the Dolphins decide whether or not Achane takes a questionable tag into the weekend, the coaching staff will see what he's able to do in Friday's practice. Regardless, Achane looks poised to play Sunday, as does Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle), whose absences from practices Wednesday and Thursday were deemed precautionary, according to McDaniel.

Achane (toe) was a limited participant Thursday in his return to practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Achane played through the same injury last week, taking 12 touches for 62 yards in a 30-0 win over the Jets. He's on the right track to play again this Sunday against the Cowboys, having returned to practice Thursday after what was seemingly a precautionary absence Wednesday. The rookie figures to continue mixing in behind Raheem Mostert, whose absences from practice Wednesday and Thursday don't seem especially concerning given that the Dolphins have often held him out this season and are listing 'rest' as one of the reasons for the veteran back missing practice this week.
