# Alain Poupart: Ranked the Dolphins 32nd and predicted De'Von Achane will get the 58 catches they need this season to crack the top 10 in receptions by a running back over their first four seasons. **Claimed:** Sep 8, 2026 **Pundit:** Alain Poupart — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/alain-poupart **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/onsi/dolphins-week-1-power-rankings-roundup-how-low-can-they-go-01m20yy3xjt6 2 checkable claims — 1 player season number and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > It's a good bet that he passes it this season, considering he averages 66 catches over 17 games in his career. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “ESPN Rank: 32” - Kind: Power Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **De'Von Achane to record 58 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: De'Von Achane, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - De'Von Achane — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/de-von-achane - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/dolphins ## What others said about the same people - Nick Brinkerhoff on Miami Dolphins: Predicts a 23-20 Dolphins win over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a38cb982-14c3-4bea-bf0f-f61b43e1535a (scored 100) - Mike Kadlick on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Dolphins to beat the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/23a2739f-abc5-4aea-9665-cebe61f324c5 (scored 100) - Jourdan Rodrigue on Miami Dolphins: Roderick picked the Vikings to smash the Colts, the Dolphins to win their first game of the season against the Jets, and the Saints to upset the Steelers in Paris. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b45ad24a-5924-47e4-b85c-68b9fa738ef4 (scored 100) - Kyle "Gump" Cathcart on Miami Dolphins: Gumpy predicted the Miami Dolphins would get a big win over the Jets on Sunday. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/527bc9d5-bef1-4edd-b53c-c061e4062890 (scored 100) - Carter Bahns on Miami Dolphins: Bahns argues the Dolphins, already 0-3 and now without De'Von Achane for the season, are among the least talented rosters ever and face a brutal schedule, identifying five road/home dates (at the Jets, at the Colts, vs. the Jets, at the Packers, vs. the Chargers) as their most winnable games while doubting they can even approach their projected win total. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8bdb56be-4c1a-45fe-8423-d581fce21da1 (scored 100) - Seth Rollins on Miami Dolphins: Guest host Seth Rollins named the Miami Dolphins their No. 1 sleeper team, saying they'll outperform expectations, finish ahead of the Jets and at least third in the AFC East, but won't win the division.

They also picked the AFC West order and said Deion Sanders is more likely than Bill Belichick to have a winning record. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f94f8499-af74-4a8d-a688-fd08cd52bb3c (scored 56.25) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
