At a -10.5-point disadvantage, the Dolphins are massive underdogs in this week's game, suggesting much more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their typical approach.De'Von Achane has been used more as a potential target this season (73.1% Route Participation Rate in games he has played) than he did last season (61.2%).The leading projections forecast De'Von Achane to total 6.1 targets in this week's game, on average, ranking him in the 96th percentile among running backs.When it comes to air yards, De'Von Achane ranks in the lofty 92nd percentile among RBs this year, accruing an impressive 3.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is much more impressive than it sounds since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).The New England Patriots pass defense has surrendered the 9th-highest Adjusted Completion% in the league (85%) versus RBs this year (85.0%).
