Will Shipley

Will Shipley was a three-year player at Clemson, producing from the get-go as a freshman with a 23% dominator rating.

He continued to ascend into his sophomore season with over 1,100 rushing yards and 15 TDs and an even more impressive 26% dominator rating.

He took a major step backward this past season, splitting work with Phil Mafah and losing the starting job outright. The 5-foot-11 and 205-pound Tiger finished his college career on a sour note with an 18% dominator rating.

My biggest concern with Shipley is his poor average yards per play (2.14), which ranks third-worst in the class. His so-so and mediocre career dominator ratings don't do much to mitigate it. He has shown proficiency in pass-catching with 84 career receptions but he seems more of a product of whatever offensive environment he is a part of. He's in a good offense with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he would likely be productive if there's an injury to Saquon Barkley.

The Philadelphia Eagles have selected RB Will Shipley with the No. 127 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Shipley compiled 31 touchdowns over the past three seasons at Clemson. He is a bit smaller of a running back, but he is quick and also capable as a receiver out of the backfield. The Eagles backfield may no longer be a committee after signing Saquon Barkley, but other running backs will likely still hold a role.
