You are probably targeting the same running backs as everybody else in drafts right now.

0:04.0

But there are four guys right now who quietly have the perfect combination of workload,

0:08.5

offense, and not going in the first round, but can still break fantasy in 2025.

0:12.5

Now, let's start with one player who literally just did it last year, but is still being

0:15.8

disrespected in drafts.

0:16.9

And that player is the Dolphins running back at just 23 years old, Devon A-Chane as he enters his third season in the NFL, and so far it's been great.

0:24.1

Over 17 fantasy points per game each year.

0:26.4

Last year he was the running back six.

0:28.0

The year before that, he was the running back five.

0:30.1

And the crazy part is he did it in two completely different ways these past two seasons. But even more important, when two attack of Iola was healthy for the dolphins, Devon H.N averaged 22.6 fantasy points per game, number one amongst all running backs

here, the big difference, and this one is a monster difference. He goes from catching 27 balls to having

1:02.9

78 receptions. Not only did he have 78 receptions. Let's look at this. He was number two amongst

1:08.3

running backs and targets with 87. Like if you looked at his

1:11.0

rookie year or his college production, you would never think that he could put up Christian

1:14.3

McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, even like Prime Austin Eccler type receiving numbers, but he just did. And like

1:19.1

I said, this guy has thrived when Tua has been in the lineup the past two years. If we just look at

1:23.3

this right here, over the last two years with Ta in the lineup for 22 games he's averaging over

1:28.2

1400 yards which is fantastic but this one right here 22 touchdowns in 22 games he's

1:33.7

averaging a touchdown per game when two is in the lineup and of course there are going to be
