Dude's a special player.'"},"content":{"rendered":"

In the aftermath of a 70-point showing that had the NFL world buzzing, the Miami Dolphins offense was relatively held in check during a Week 4 loss to the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

The exception was rookie De'Von Achane\ufeff, who scored two of the Fins’ three touchdowns and ran for 101 yards on only eight carries.<\/p>\n

It’s been an illuminating two-game run for the rookie, one in which Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa believes the rest of the league has taken notice.<\/p>\n

“Oh my gosh, I mean, you guys see it. I think the entire NFL can see it. Dude’s a special player,” Tagovailoa said Wednesday, via team transcript. “He understands ball like the back of his hand.”<\/p>\n

It took a couple games for the rookie back’s fuse to get lit, but he’s burning bright now.<\/p>\n

Having missed his team’s season opener and been bestowed just two touches in Week 2, Achane exploded like the rest of the Dolphins offense in a Week 3 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos. He scored four total touchdowns and put up 233 total yards. Against the Bills last week, he hit 101 yards rushing. Achane currently leads the league with 11.4 yards per carry. Yes, an eye-popping 11.4 yards per tote.<\/p>\n

For naysayers that will point out to him having just 27 carries so far, it’d be hugely impressive with half that many carries.<\/p>\n
