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 Rashid Shaheed
Rashid Shaheed vs. 49ers — Expanding Backfield Role Faces Tough Divisional Matchup
Shaheed continues to start on the perimeter alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, but Seattle has increasingly tapped into his versatility by lining him up at tailback, including a recent 28-yard score. Despite head coach Mike Macdonald's reassurance that the ball will find him, traditional receiving volume remains modest, with Shaheed securing just seven catches on 15 targets across four games this season.
With fantasy managers starting him in under 10% of leagues, Shaheed profiles primarily as a boom-or-bust dart throw against a tough 4-0 San Francisco squad. Our weekly projection pegs him for approximately 28 total yards on roughly four touches (6.5 fantasy points), meaning he remains difficult to trust in standard lineups unless he hits on an explosive play.
