Shipley carried the ball seven times for 23 yards and caught his only target for a seven-yard touchdown in Friday's 16-13 preseason win over the Ravens. He also led the Eagles with 48 return yards on two kickoffs.
A fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Shipley was the second Eagles running back to see the field Friday after Kenneth Gainwell, and the rookie made an impact when he scored the only TD of the first half on a quick toss in the red zone from Kenny Pickett. Gainwell and Shipley are competing for the top backup job behind Saquon Barkley, a role that could have some surprising fantasy value if the former Giant star's injury woes re-surface. Gainwell's experience in Nick Sirianni's system gives him the edge on the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, but Shipley certainly didn't hurt his chances to win it with his performance Friday.
