Will Shipley

Shipley will look to anchor the Tigers rushing attack for the third straight year. A durable runner, he saw double-digit carries in all but one game last season, seven times garnering 15 or more totes en route to 1,182 yards and 15 touchdowns. Shipley doesn't have homerun-hitting speed but is rather an efficient, volume runner that runs hard behind his pads and rarely is hit behind the line. He failed to score only twice last season, and is a capable receiver to boot, turning 46 targets into 38 grabs. With new offensive coordinator Garrett Riley expected to spark the Tigers' passing attack, Shipley could see less crowded defensive fronts and bigger alleys to exploit. There may not be much room for additional statistical growth, making Shipley a less-than-sexy pick on draft day, but he certainly looks to be amongst the most stable in the country. Draft him, set start him weekly and enjoy known production every week.
