Outlook Will Shipley
Will Shipley vs. Jaguars — Waiver Wire Target Poised for Expanded London Workload
Shipley has become the hottest waiver addition of the week, with his roster rate leaping to 66% after backfield injuries struck Philadelphia. Tank Bigsby is sidelined following core muscle surgery, while lead back Saquon Barkley missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring issue. This opens the door for Shipley to absorb meaningful touches alongside Dameon Pierce when the Eagles head to London to face Jacksonville.
Our weekly projections expect Shipley to log roughly 8.3 fantasy points, penciling him in for nearly 10 carries and a couple of targets. If Barkley is sidelined, Shipley enters the conversation as a viable flex option with upside in a game where Philadelphia is favored. Fantasy managers should monitor practice reports closely before making their final starting decision.

Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon in London — Expanding Slot Role Offers Flex Appeal Against Jacksonville
Makai Lemon continues to solidify his role as Philadelphia's starting slot receiver, hauling in six catches on 10 targets over his past two outings. With fellow receiver DeVonta Smith sidelined at practice due to a hamstring injury, the rookie could see even more designed opportunities after catching three passes in the opening quarter last week.
Our models project Lemon for approximately 3 receptions and 34 receiving yards (7.5 fantasy points) against the Jaguars. Currently started in just 12% of leagues and rostered in 56%, his recent volume makes him an intriguing deep-league flex play, particularly in full-PPR formats if Philadelphia is forced to throw as underdogs.
