From the episode
Shipley would be the number one just because he's the only survivor... I do really think that he can get 15 to 20 touches a week right now... week 18, 2024, he got exactly 50% of the work targets carries. And that was with Kenny Gainwell. Kenny Gainwell is not there.
STACKED’s take
Shipley positioned for 15-20 touches weekly; historical precedent shows 50% snap share.
With both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bixby out, Will Shipley becomes the Eagles' primary running back. Joel Smyth expects Shipley to receive 15 to 20 touches per week going forward. Historically, Shipley has been used as a passing-down back and has shown capability in high-volume situations: in Week 18 of 2024, he received exactly 50% of the team's work (targets and carries) with Kenny Gainwell also on the roster; in the 2024 playoffs against Washington, he had four carries for 77 yards and a touchdown. With Kenny Gainwell no longer on the roster and only Damian Pierce and Jaden Blue as practice squad depth behind him, Smyth believes Shipley can secure the majority of the workload.
