PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Will Shipley is the only other running back on the Eagles with game snaps this season and will retain his long down and distance role with Saquon Barkley out Week 5 and Tank Bsby sidelined. Mattek Fantasy Football recommends bidding aggressively on waivers, though does not project a 16–18 touch per game role. Shipley was a productive college prospect at Clemson and should see early-down opportunities.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Despite a 53% snap share and handling long down-and-distance and two-minute drills, Will Shipley is not a recommended waiver add or start because Saquon Barkley is expected to play, and Tank Bigsby is the primary replacement.NegativeRoleSep 21, 2026
The Philadelphia Eagles running back played more snaps than Tank Bigsby in Week 2 but was deployed primarily on third downs and two-minute drills. Mattek Fantasy Football's Michael Pitman Jr. notes that 'Shipley was getting all the third downs and all the two-minute drill' and prefers Bigsby on waivers. In deeper leagues, Shipley could be added as a handcuff.PositiveRoleJun 22, 2026
Will Shipley is a third-down-only running back on the Eagles, limiting his standalone fantasy value.PositiveRoleNo date
Shipley played all long down and distance and two-minute drill situations, running 15 of 32 routes with no targets. Rashad White emphasizes both Shipley and Tank Bsby need to be owned in 12-team leagues, with Shipley handling passing situations.NegativeRoleNo date
Designated as the passing down back for the Philadelphia Eagles; would play passing downs even if Saquon Barkley got injured, limiting Tank Bsby's receiving work but not his rushing opportunity.
