PROJECTED POINTS: 15.4
Michelle: Achane has finished with 23-plus fantasy points in three games: Weeks 1, 2 and 8. In translation, the only three games Tua Tagovailoa has started this season. In those games, Achane averaged 137.3 scrimmage yards, 7.3 targets, 65 receiving yards and one touchdown per game.
His success should continue at Buffalo on Sunday, as the Bills’ defense has given up the third-most fantasy points per game to the running back position in 2024. This is an especially great matchup for Achane, who has been utilized heavily as a pass catcher in Year 2, because the Bills have allowed the most receptions and receiving yards to RBs in 2024. In these teams’ previous matchup in Week 2, he scored a season-high 29 fantasy points while putting up 96 yards on the ground and another 69 yards and a touchdown through the air.
