Jake presents Will Shipley as a comparison point for running back desperation in Week 5, suggesting Braxton Miller is preferable to Shipley in the current landscape. Shipley is not recommended as a starting option.NegativeRoleOct 9, 2026
Shipley has had double-digit touches just once in his NFL career, and in that game he didn't cross double-digit fantasy points even in PPR formats; Matthew Berry suggests using Shipley only if absolutely direly needed due to limited historical production and role uncertainty.NegativeProjectionOct 9, 2026
Matthew Berry notes Shipley's rush and receiving yard prop combined is 53, which feels very low for a player expected to shoulder the backfield load; however, Berry expresses concern about Damian Pierce's elevation to the roster potentially limiting Shipley's utilization and dump-off opportunities from Jalen Hurts, making it difficult to guarantee even five catches and 25 yards receiving.NegativeRoleOct 9, 2026
Jake Trowbridge is considering starting Will Shipley in week five, indicating the running back has emerged as a viable option despite being a mid-draft pick or waiver acquisition; this reflects significant roster churn and the need to deploy bench players due to injuries or underperformance elsewhere.
