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.
