Will Shipley Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth RB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB93 last season at 1.2 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB65 at 3.1 PPR points per game, against 1.2 over 15 games last season (RB93). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 86th of 95 in rushing volume (1.0 carries per game), 64th of 95 in receiving role (0.9 targets per game) and 79th of 95 in efficiency (1.50 yards after contact per carry). Rushing volume is the soft spot. Jalen Hurts is his quarterback.
He's RB3 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Panthers in Week 6 (1st against RBs) and the Cowboys in Week 7 (8th against RBs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Shipley’s 2025 line confirms a marginal role: 14 games, a 12.5 percent snap share, just 14 carries for 49 yards at 3.5 per tote, and 9 catches on 12 targets for 56 yards. The efficiency cratered with a -0.334 EPA per play and a 0.67 yards per route run, leaving him at 10.5 fantasy points and RB91 in our rank. That is even thinner than his 2024 rookie season (30 carries, 2.73 YPC, -0.178 EPA, RB98), so the second-year jump never materialized behind a healthy Saquon Barkley.
The profile is volume-starved by design. With a 2.6 percent target share, a lone red-zone opportunity, and zero broken tackles forced across his 14 carries, Shipley offers no standalone value while Barkley owns the Eagles backfield. His 4th-round draft capital keeps him the clear next-man-up, which is the entire case. Treat him strictly as a handcuff and deep-dynasty stash whose redraft relevance lives and dies with a Barkley injury, not a draftable asset on his own.
