NO.

We're seeing Bijan at his floor, essentially, with his QB play. Achane always played bigger than Gibbs, it's why the RZ usage between the 2 isn't the least bit surprising.

Bijan is the best RB in this draft, and it's not even close.

I think you were being a bit facetious, but Bijan is truly a special player.

Still. Achane in this offense is the best possible fit. He can get 10-12 touches a game and you still will put him in your lineup. Great call on the draw, like that, they are going to maximize whatever potential he has. He's the clear RB2 in this class right now for me. He has enough draft capital that I'd take him over Gibbs, given the fact one team has a way better plan for the player vs the other. Achane runs so much bigger than Gibbs, too.

Achane is pretty much what we hoped to get from Gibbs. If I was offered Gibbs for Achane I’d pass

I would too.

Achane looks good, but i'm going to make the Tua argument and say he is doing this well because of what is around him. His situation is elite.

Ask Todd Gurley if situation matters

I own both Achane & Gibbs, so I'm unbiased ... my $0.02 is that Achane just plays faster. He's like Tyreek to that extent. He just moves a half step faster than the fastest players.

Also, regarding Gibbs, I am not concerned about his touches b/c Detroit said they were going to ease him in. But I am definitely concerned about the lack of creativity in how they used him. There were so many stories about how they were going to use him in all sorts of ways this summer ... I'm not sure what they are waiting for.

Who would you keep today if you only could have one?

Probably Achane b/c neither McDaniels (edit: not McCarthy; heaven forbid) nor Campbell are going anywhere soon. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dolphins get a true power back next year which could increase Achane's usage ... right now, Mostert is too similar of a back.

You're in one thread proclaiming a 5th round rookie as an amazing talent, who will be a 100 reception player every year and circumstance has little to do with it. But in this thread, a rookie who was drafted higher, is more talented, and produced in a tougher conference is now a product of the QB.

Achane isn't doing anything different from what he did in the SEC. He has the 4th fastest 40 ever at the RB position. You could even argue he might be faster than the 4.32 he ran. He just plays at a level of explosion and speed that RBs usually don't have and he plays big. I warned people not to fall into lazy analysis by just looking at his size and calling it a day.

Achane looks like a flat out stud. It really does look like Tyreek Hill changed jerseys and became a RB.

I apologize in advance......

Is.........is...De'Von Achane a top5 dynasty RB already?

He's got 300 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, and 6 total TDs over the past 2 weeks. Absolutely insane numbers. He's extremely young, producing as a top5 RB already (small sample size alert if you think he's due for MASSIVE regression) and he's tied to an elite offense/system for the next 4+ years.

Bijan is the clear RB1, who else are we taking over Achane? McCaffrey on a contender, maybe Hall/Taylor/Walker are safer & more proven. I can't think of anyone else projected to significantly outscore him in the short term or anyone that would offer any longevity value over a rookie unless you think these past 2 weeks are a fluke.

Bijan, Breece, JT, CMC for sure. Walker, Pollard, Jacobs, Etienne are still ahead of him for me, but its getting close. In a Start-up I'm rolling with Achane over Henry or Ekeler easily. Barkley or Achane?? Hmm... that's probably the line. I'm taking Achane over Cook, Gibbs, Rhamondre, Swift. So top 10 RB it would seem already. 5 will take consistency to leapfrog guys like Walker and some others who are still young and are more proven
