Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane was activated from the injured reserve and returned to practice after suffering a knee injury.
Achane, a rookie third-round draft pick from Texas A&M, was one of the biggest breakout stars in fantasy football before he was sidelined earlier this season.
NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe asked Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel about what we can expect from Achane’s workload upon his return. The coach was immediately skeptical about the intentions, though, and joked with Wolfe.

“What kind of money do you have in fantasy football? This seems strategic.”
For those who are curious about whether Achane will continue to get as many touches as he did before he got hurt, McDaniel provided some clues.
He said that Achane “really wants to play” and that he was “un-tackleable” on Monday. McDaniel said the Dolphins feel good about where Achane is right now.
It sounds like, despite McDaniel not tipping his hand, Achane should return to form well when he is feeling healthy enough to get back on the field.
