Will Shipley's injury opens doors for Eagles' fantasy sleepers
Summary

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley is questionable to return due to a foot injury sustained during the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. His absence, along with the previous injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby, leaves the Eagles' backfield in a precarious situation. As the team prepares for Week 6, Dameon Pierce is expected to take on a larger role. Additionally, wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon may see more targets as Philadelphia navigates its injury challenges.
