Josh Jacobs is a proven bell cow and three-down running back. Since being drafted, he has handled substantial offensive workloads. Jacobs is a slashing runner with quick footwork and lateral agility to knife through the defense. He has the play strength to finish runs and punish defenders. Can't forget about his value in the passing game out of the backfield. Jacobs isn't an elite running back, but he is a well-rounded back and starter.

De'Von Achane has defied the odds set against smaller-framed running backs in the NFL. The Dolphins leaned on his playmaking ability as both a runner and a receiver. He has established himself as one of the league's premier playmakers. Achane accounted for 1,838 total yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns. His game is built on vision, acceleration, change of direction, and elite open-field speed. He finished the year second in outside-the-tackle rush attempts behind Bijan Robinson. The Dolphins' star is dangerous from anywhere on the field. He is a big-play waiting to happen. In the passing game, Achane is a threat on screens or aligned as a wide receiver running routes into the play concept. Pass protection reps were limited to 34 snaps; he ran more routes than stayed in the pocket.
