Will Shipley
RB - Philadelphia Eagles
2024 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesShipley's film reminds me of Cody Schrader at times. They are stylistically different players, but both maximize their touches. Shipley's quick processing, lateral agility, and vision allow him to create both as a rusher and receiver. These elements will endear him to NFL coaching staff. Shipley is a decisive runner who makes the most of his physical gifts. He can set up defenders in the second level with a fantastic feel for pressing the line and cutting back in a blink. Shipley's raw physical traits limit his ability to churn out yards. He has average burst, below-average leg drive, and ok but not exceptional long speed. Runs that would be dingers by other running backs with electric wheels are decent chunk plays for Shipley. He likely won't be the short-yardage option for an NFL team, as he gets blown back on some interior runs and isn't a pile pusher. He is a swing pass merchant. Shipley caught his share of check-downs and swing passes in college, but he didn't exhibit upper-level route running or creative usage in the passing game. His short area skills do offer hope that he can access another level in the passing game if his usage in an aerial attack is expanded at the next level. Dynasty Outlook: Shipley's fourth-round NFL Draft capital was interesting, but the wind immediately knocked out of his sails, and once you see his landing spot, it was the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley has a brand new three-year deal with Philly that should bury Shipley if Barkley can stay healthy. Shipley is worth a late third-round/early fourth-round dynasty rookie draft selection, especially if you have Barkley on your roster.

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.
