Newer update on Will Shipley: Carson Steele injury update: Questionable to return vs. Panthers (shoulder)

Will Shipley injury update: Placed on IR, out at least 4 games (foot)

Will Shipley has been placed on injured reserve by the Eagles due to a foot injury and will miss at least four games.

By Cole Hartwell

Will Shipley will miss at least four games after being placed on injured reserve. The Eagles placed Shipley on injured reserve Friday due to a foot injury, according to RotoWire.

What happened

The Eagles placed Shipley on the injured reserve list, per Adam Schefter. Shipley (foot) was placed on IR and will miss at least 4 games, according to Underdog NFL.

Shipley is listed as the RB5 on the Eagles’ depth chart by Sleeper. He has 19.8 PPR points, 20 carries, 57 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 8 targets, 5 receptions, and 31 receiving yards in five games this season.

Context

Shipley has a 34% snap share this season. In Week 5, he recorded 8.3 PPR points, 5 carries, 6 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 2 targets, 1 reception, and 7 receiving yards on a 21% snap share. In Week 4, he had 2.3 PPR points, 6 carries, 23 rushing yards, and 1 target on 48% of snaps.

Shipley was considered a must-add running back in leagues where available ahead of Week 5, according to Fantasy Football Desk. At that time, Saquon Barkley was considered unlikely to play against Jacksonville and Tank Bigsby was set to undergo surgery.

Depth chart

The Eagles’ running back depth chart from Sleeper has Saquon Barkley as RB1, Dameon Pierce as RB2, and Carson Steele as RB3. Barkley has 23.0 PPR points in four games. Pierce has 3.2 PPR points in one game.

What’s next

The Eagles play at home against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6 on Sunday, October 18.

Shipley has been dropped in 61,212 leagues in the last 24 hours, according to Sleeper.

Will Shipley (foot) placed on IR; will miss at least 4 games.

Eagles placed RB Will Shipley on the injured reserve list.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Shipley on IR, the Eagles’ backfield becomes even thinner. Saquon Barkley is the lead back when healthy, but he is dealing with a hamstring injury and has not practiced ahead of Week 6. Dameon Pierce becomes the primary backup and is worth adding in deeper leagues, especially if Barkley misses time. Pierce has only 3.2 PPR points in one game this season. Carson Steele is also on the depth chart but has no stats this season. Shipley can be dropped in all but the deepest dynasty leagues.
