NegativeInjuryOct 13, 2026
Shipley is banged up, opening the door for Damian Pierce to take over as the Eagles' running back.NegativeInjuryOct 12, 2026
Shipley suffered an injury in Week 5 against the Eagles, removing him from consideration as a viable running back option in a backfield already depleted by Tank Bigsby and Saquon Barkley absences.NegativeMatchupOct 9, 2026
The source compares Shipley's situation to Ollie Gordon's—both are flex plays in tough spots where you can take a shot hoping for a big game and touchdown, but both carry significant risk due to backfield uncertainty.NegativeRoleOct 9, 2026
Likely to be the primary back if Saquon Barkley is out; described as a medium upside player at best this week against Jacksonville, hoping for receiving game work and goal line touches; ideally five catches for 40 yards with 15 carries. Eagles play at 9:30 a.m. ET Sunday on NFL Network.NegativeProjectionOct 8, 2026
Will Shipley is ranked in the RB24-30 range and is not someone to feel great about starting; the best an Eagles running back has done this year is 11.9 fantasy points, and Shipley will likely split carries with Damian Pierce in a committee approach rather than receiving a full-time role.PositiveUsageOct 7, 2026
Will Shipley is expected to get more opportunities and touch the ball more than Kyle Monungay; the source notes Shipley will likely have more touches and snaps, though exact snap share is uncertain (possibly 45–70%), but acknowledges Shipley will play more volume despite potential efficiency concerns.NegativeRoleOct 6, 2026
Will Shipley is being considered as a waiver option for the Eagles, but the source has limited faith in starting him. With Tank Bigsby out and Saquon Barkley's status uncertain, there is significant volume available, but Shipley would likely be the fourth running back option behind other candidates like Damian Pierce, Carson Steele, and Jaden Blue.
