De'Von Achane vs Justice Hill: Who Should You Start?
De'Von Achane and Justice Hill are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Miami Dolphins running back averaged 18.1 PPG in 2025, a full 12.6 points per game ahead of Justice Hill's 5.5 with the Baltimore Ravens. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.
That 12.6-point weekly advantage for De'Von Achane is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
De'Von Achane is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 67 targets into 488 yards, while Justice Hill profiles as a more traditional rusher with 93 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats De'Von Achane carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.
De'Von Achane has his bye in Week 6, and Justice Hill rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
