STOP SLEEPING ON WILL SHIPLEY
Will Shipley is a jack of all trades running back, and the best PPR back of this class. His metrics don’t jump off the screen but he excels in everything he does.
Don’t follow the masses and overlooks Shipley for being highly efficient.
Early Breakout (856 total yards as a 18 year old true freshman)
The kid is built identical to Dalvin cook
5’11
210lbs
4.15 Shuttle
4.41 40 (official)
After he lights it up at the combine, there’s no way that an NFL team doesn’t take a shot on him before the end of the 2nd round. He has been a workhorse back since his freshman year as a true 3 down back with his receiving upside.
Just a fundamental Running-back with Grit

I have seen him play (as a Gamecock fan), and I would think more of a hydrid Reggie Bush / Travis ETN type comp.

Well, I did admit it was a lazy comp. I just can't help myself on this one.

Cody Carpentier’s favourite RB sleeper pick

I really like him. Think he'll end up on my team with a mid 2nd round pick

You never know, he could work out for you. His star really faded in DEVY circles after a mediocre 2023 (827 yards and 5 TDs), but he did have 31 receptions.

Same. Like the skill set & attributes but landing spot will weigh heavy.
I am targeting early 3rd (own 3.03) but who knows what his value will be after NFL Draft.
As much as I want to hate Clemson they do produce some good footballers
Yep. Shipley's been surprisingly under the radar and I've been grabbing him super late in some redraft teams but in general I can't recall a year I've had more RB sleepers. Feel like people are overly down on this class. For sure none that I'm dying to spend first round picks on but a whole lot of good players.
Don't think I've ever had a year I wish I could do my dynasty rookie drafts before the NFL draft like this year. Because landing spots and NFL draft do matter and what's a sleeper to me probably won't be such a sleeper after the draft.

I liked him in college, then I watched a bit of film. He breaks tackles against lesser teams. He does not break them against better teams. He's plenty fast enough. Not sure he is gonna be able to do much against NFL LBs.
