There are several ways to assess a player at the NFL level, but one involves comparing their performance with their salary. Recently, the betting website Bet Ohio published a story on the most undervalued running backs in the NFL. Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane ranked as the fifth most undervalued back, averaging $824 per yard for his rushing and receiving production. Over just two seasons, Achane has carried the ball 306 times for 1,707 yards (5.6 yards per carry), scoring 14 touchdowns. His receiving stats include 105 receptions for 789 yards (7.5 yards per catch) and nine touchdowns. Achane had a cap of $905,293 in 2023 and $1,235,784 this past season. His cap number is set to increase to $1,482,941 for the upcoming season, positioning him as another bargain in 2025 if he remains healthy while continuing the solid performances we’ve seen from him during his first two seasons.
So this evening’s PQOTD is: With the idea of Achane being one of the NFL’s top bargains, what other Miami Dolphins players do you see as bargains, and which do you see as overpaid, given their production over the last season or the last couple of seasons?
