The Miami Dolphins are entering the 2026 NFL season with one of the lowest projected win totals in the league.
The Dolphins are rebuilding following the departure of longtime quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. However, they still roster up-and-coming star running back De'Von Achane.
Achane knows teams will underestimate the Dolphins this coming season. But if they do, he believes they're in for a rude awakening.

“We’re kind of used to that,” Achane said on Thursday, via ProFootballTalk. “We don’t pay no mind to that. If teams feel that way about us, that means when they play us, they’re gonna be not taking us seriously. And if you’re doing that, then you’re gonna have a long day for yourself.”

Achane and the Dolphins agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract extension earlier this offseason, making him the third highest-paid running back in the NFL. He accounted for the vast majority of Miami's offensive production in 2025, rushing for 1,350 yards and eight touchdowns, while also catching 67 passes for 488 yards and four touchdowns.
The Dolphins will open up their 2026 regular-season campaign with a Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sept. 13.
