With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (sports hernia/IR) both sidelined, Will Shipley becomes the primary Eagles running back for week 5. He's been used primarily in a pass-catching role this season, which aligns with his prospect profile, though he's been mixed in on early-down work. JJ Zachariason calls him 'definitely the guy that you want off the waiver wire this week' and notes he could be a PPR scammer despite a tough Jacksonville matchup.PositiveRoleSep 26, 2026
Being used in pass protection and receiving situations for the Eagles; this increased role comes at the expense of Saquon Barkley's target share, suggesting Shipley is getting more offensive opportunities.NegativeUsageSep 24, 2026

Shipley has played a larger role than expected, particularly in the passing game, with a 57% route share compared to Bigsby's 17% in Week 2. He is a viable waiver wire value but likely secondary to Bigsby in a Barkley-less backfield.
