In an interview Monday with Rich Eisen, Hafley laughingly said that he told star running back De’Von Achane that he could see an unheard-of workload next season.
So, knowing that 40 touches is a pipe dream, while also understanding that Achane’s workload likely will increase in the post-Tyreek Hill era after receiving a new contract extension, what’s the magic number?
Projecting Achane's TouchesDe’Von Achane averaged 19.1 touches per game last season, a career high for the three-year pro.
A more realistic target for Achane (assuming an increase) is somewhere between 20 and 22 touches per game.
As for Achane’s receiving workload, it seems that a change would be in the quality of targets, rather than the quantity.
