George Holani News
Monday, September 14, 6:37 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani didn't produce much with the ball in his hands during Week 1 against the New England Patriots. However, he was a thorn in the side of Jadarian Price's fantasy managers because he earned nearly as many snaps and touches as the rookie. Holani played 23 snaps in Week 1, while Price played 24. The former mustered eight touches for 3.6 YPC, but he didn't score a touchdown or catch a pass. That's the biggest hold-up with Holani in fantasy football right now; PPR managers need him to catch more passes, and all of his managers would appreciate some touchdowns. With that being said, it was just Week 1, and the Seahawks had to adapt to an offense without Sam Darnold. When they return to action, they'll have 11 days rest and Holani could end up carving out a larger role. Heading into Week 2 against the Cardinals, he ranks as a fringe RB4 with a low floor but decent upside.

Will Shipley News
Saturday, September 5, 11:10 AM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley played well enough this summer, but nothing he did changed his place in the backfield. Shipley rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries against New England and comfortably survived final cuts. He also enters Week 1 behind both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. Bigsby separated himself as the primary backup during camp after rushing for 344 yards and two touchdowns on only 58 carries last season, while Shipley barely touched the ball on offense. He finished 2025 with 14 carries for 49 yards and nine catches for 56 yards, doing much more of his work on special teams. Philadelphia kept only three running backs on the initial 53-man roster, so Shipley's standing is pretty clear. There is some contingency value if injuries start piling up, and his receiving ability gives the Eagles another option. For fantasy purposes, though, Bigsby is the insurance back behind Barkley. Shipley is difficult to justify in ordinary redraft leagues while he remains third in line.
