2024 RTSports Outlook

Shipley was selected by the Eagles in the fourth round of this year's draft. Shipley is likely No. 2 or 3 on the depth chart for the Eagles his rookie season. Shipley was a productive three-down back in college. He does well on short-yardage situations and also is a solid pass catcher. He might make most of his plays in the passing game early in his career. He lacks a little size for the running back spot and can struggle some after contact.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Shipley won't get a ton of work his rookie season, playing behind Saquon Barkley. He might have a few decent games but probably isn't worth a roster spot. He might get 20 receptions and 400 total yards with a few scores.

RotoBaller's Outlook

The Philadelphia Eagles grabbed a burner in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Will Shipley out of Clemson. The 5-foot-11 Shipley was carted off with a left knee injury suffered while returning a kick in the Gator Bowl, but the junior would avoid surgery and declare for the draft. This followed leg/foot injuries in 2021 and a concussion in '22. The upside is rooted in speed and versatility that saw him named First-Team All-ACC RB, All-Purpose, and Specialist honors in 2022. Shipley averaged over five yards per carry and six yards per catch in each of his three Clemson campaigns. Now he'll mix with Kenneth Gainwell for No. 2 RB duties behind Saquon Barkley while Jalen Hurts is a goal-line RB himself. Shipley's value should come in bursts depending on how often Philly can scheme his wheels into space. If the 2024 Eagles replicate last season's first half then fantasy teams will be clamoring for a piece of the action. Shipley sits around the RB70 range in RotoBaller's half-PPR ranks and early ADP alike.
