Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane's availability for Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills has not been clear.
Fans know that Raheem Mostert is out with a chest injury, but Achane's ankle injury made him a game-time decision.
#Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is out Thursday night vs the #Bills. As for RB De'Von Achane (ankle), he’s a game-time decision. “We’ll see.”

With eight hours to go until kickoff, Achane may have spilled the beans with his recent social media post. He posted pictures of himself in uniform on Instagram with the details about tonight's game.

This game is huge for the Dolphins who have struggled with the Bills. The Bills have beaten the Dolphins four straight times, and they are 11-1 in their last 12 games.
It has been an eventful week in Miami with Tyreek Hill's issues with police before the Week 1 game. It is time to focus on football for the Dolphins. Achane's social media post implies that he is ready to go.
UPDATE: Achane is officially ACTIVE.
De'Von Achane fantasy outlook Week 2
By Ed Williams
If De'Von Achane is able to suit up Thursday night, there's a good chance his workload will be at least somewhat limited. We originally had him ranked as the RB7 this week. After his DNP on Monday, we knocked him down to RB9.
We'll get clear confirmation tomorrow after pregame warmups, but if you are an Achane or even a Mostert fantasy manager, you'll want to make an effort to pick up some contingency plans on the waiver wire if you don't have some on your bench already. We know Jeff Wilson will already see significant snaps with Mostert sitting, but Jaylen Wright should also be sprinkled in even if Achane plays. However, Wright is only a play if Achane ends up sitting.
