RB20, I got Will Shipley, guys. Saquon Barkley hamstring out. Tank Bigsby core muscle. He's on IR... it's a very tough matchup... No human being has gained even 75 rushing yards on the Jaguars since week one of last season... do the Eagles believe in Will Shipley as a true bellcow? Because we saw when Saquon was out... it was very much tank bigs be getting the majority of the carries.

Shipley RB20 but faces brutal Jaguars matchup; Eagles may not trust him

Shipley is ranked RB20 but faces significant headwinds despite Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (core muscle, IR) being out. The Eagles face a brutal matchup against Jacksonville (no running back has gained 75+ rushing yards on the Jaguars since week one of last season). Hartitz questions whether the Eagles truly believe in Shipley as a true bellcow; when Saquon was previously out, Tank Bigsby received the majority of carries while Shipley was relegated to pass-down work. Hartitz is skeptical of spending 90% of FAB on Shipley and would rather wait a week before starting anyone in the Eagles offense.
