What does De’Von Achane’s season-ending injury mean for the Dolphins’ backfield?
This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports.
What a play! Can you believe this?
I had no idea. It's time to dominate your fantasy
league. Off to the races, and he stays on his feet.
He's just going to go the distance. Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
We are taking you beyond the box score here on Fantasy Football Today. Welcome, and it's Monday, September 28th. And this was one of the most, like, head-spinning weeks that we're going to have all year, I think, Dan. We had crazy games. We had amazing finishes. What a game last night. Sunday night, Rams and Broncos. We also have this horrible season-ending injury to Devon H.M., which we're going to talk about. We've got J.J. McCarthy to the Giants, which we're going to talk about. Is your head spinning like mine is? Completely.
And it was so obvious how weird this week was when I did an article that I always write for CBS Sports every Sunday night, which kind of looks at the breakouts from the week, the early waiver wires, and I do a small panic meter. And when I was looking at the breakouts part of the week and the waiver wire, the guys that were up top from a scoring standpoint last year in fantasy were one, all wide receivers. It was not a good week for running back. Wait,
last year or last week? This
week, outside of the top guys like Gibbs and Bijan, like as far as like new guys bursting onto the scene. Not a lot of back options. And the receivers who were up there were just surprising names that you don't expect. You walk into this next week coming up in week four and you're like, I don't know who I'm starting in these flex spots, but it's going to be some weird names coming up. And obviously now with the injuries – It's going to be a very interesting fantasy week coming up, and I think I'm excited. Also, maybe we'll give you a little Jacob Gibbs impression today because unfortunately we don't have Jacob today. He's under the weather. Woke up insanely sick, and I know that feeling. Adam obviously knows that feeling as well.
I think Adam's sick like 73% to 75% of the year.
You've been sick much more recently than I have been.
Like if you're using a small recency bias based sample size, yes, you can make that statement. But over the course of my existence on this show and your existence on the show, you're way more sick than I am on a more consistent basis. And everyone who watches knows that.
I mean, yeah, but anyone who has little kids understands that. So that's what happens. They go to school. They all get sick. They bring it home. Anyway, Devon Achan is out for the season. By the way, our big topics today, we're only going to have three big topics today. We're going to talk about the Raiders. The Raiders have scored at least 26 points in every game so far. They did not do that in regulation once in 2025. Not once. Not once. They did it once in overtime when they scored a touchdown, but that was it. We're talking about the Raiders and their surprising start. Michael Wilson's big game with 17 targets against San Francisco, and he gets the Giants in week four. And what is the problem with Drake May?
This may not even be a fantasy question, maybe just a football question. What is going on? with Drake May. We're going to have fun with screenshots and we'll talk about the tape we've watched. We'll talk about Malik neighbors a little bit on the chargers right now. Let's look at the Miami dolphins running backs with Devon HN out for the season. Jalen Wright missed week three with a foot injury. He also has a stinger and we got Ali Gordon, 17 carries and three catches 20 touches, but for 41 yards and a touchdown on those 17 carries. Now, Last year, we had two games where HN missed. Different coaching staff, totally different scenario here. But two games where HN either missed or left early. And in those games, Jalen Wright had 24 carries to Ali Gordon's five.
And Jalen Wright had 13 carries to Ali Gordon's nine. Jalen Wright had three targets but no catches in one of those games. He had two catches in the other. Ali Gordon didn't have a catch in those two games.
