Outlook Will Shipley
Will Shipley at Jaguars in London — Surging opportunity amid backfield injuries
Shipley has vaulted onto fantasy radars this week, with his roster rate spiking to 68% following major shifts in Philadelphia's backfield. With Tank Bigsby landing on injured reserve and starter Saquon Barkley sidelined at practice with a hamstring injury, Shipley is positioned for a noticeably elevated role across the pond in London.
If Barkley is held out or restricted, Shipley should pace the ground game alongside Dameon Pierce. Our models project him for 34 rushing yards on roughly 10 carries plus two catches for 8.3 fantasy points, putting him squarely in the Flex conversation as a sneaky spot-start option.

Outlook Terry McLaurin
Terry McLaurin vs. Giants — Hamstring Status Clouds Week 5 Value
McLaurin missed last week’s game with a hamstring injury and remains questionable after failing to practice on Thursday and working off to the side earlier in the week. Washington's passing game is also managing a hamstring issue for fellow wideout Stefon Diggs, making McLaurin's health critical as the team looks to bounce back at home against New York. Fantasy managers must check back often for updates prior to Sunday's kickoff.
If he is cleared to play, our models project McLaurin for approximately 3.6 receptions on seven targets for 51 yards and 12.1 fantasy points. However, with fantasy managers starting him in only 37% of leagues due to re-injury risk, he profiles as a volatile flex option who carries significant downside if he suits up on a pitch count.
