With De'Von Achane possibly returning this weekend from injured reserve, fantasy footballers are wondering if they should put the Miami Dolphins rookie running back in their lineups.

Dolphins reporter Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network asked head coach Mike McDaniel if he could "put [Achane] back in his typical workload" or if he would be eased in.

Of course, gamblers everywhere want to hear the answer to that question, especially considering Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. are in the mix as well.

But McDaniel was on high alert.

"What kind of money do you have in fantasy football? This seems strategic," McDaniel said, prompting laughter from the rest of the media.

He also didn't budge at all.
