From the episode

I'm going to go with Shipley for the relative touch certainty that that I think he's going to get a dozen touches guaranteed, maybe a lot more.

Shipley offers high touch certainty as a flex play

Shipley is projected for a solid floor of at least a dozen touches, making him a preferred flex option over DK Metcalf in most circumstances. While he hasn't fully proven himself as a workhorse, his touch certainty is valued over Metcalf's boom-or-bust profile.
