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.

Mike Washington at New England — Expanding Early-Down Work Creates Deep-League Intrigue
Washington operates as the primary complement behind Ashton Jeanty on the depth chart, but his role is noticeably expanding. With Jeanty managing an ankle issue and shifting more toward passing downs, recent reports confirm the Raiders are handing Washington additional early-down carries. The rookie has made the most of his opportunities, averaging 5.1 yards per carry across his last two outings.
Despite the increased rushing work, Washington's weekly floor is fragile due to minimal passing-game involvement. Our weekly projection pencils him in for around 5 carries and 24 rushing yards against New England, keeping him largely sidelined in standard lineups. He profiles as an upside bench stash who needs a goal-line score to return flex-worthy value.
