Who Should I Start? Kyle Juszczyk or Will Shipley

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk caught a one-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The score, four minutes into the fourth quarter, was the first trip to the end zone by either side and broke what was then a 6-6 tie. Even with the 49ers' injury woes in the first three weeks of the season, Juszczyk's fantasy appeal is nil. He is turned to so infrequently that his fluke touchdowns (the last time he had more than two in a season was 2020) simply aren't worth chasing. Through the first three games of 2025, Juszczyk has four receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley (oblique) was listed as a full participant on the team's Friday injury report and appears ready to return to game action this weekend against the Buccaneers. This comes after Shipley missed Philly's last two contests with an oblique injury suffered against the Cowboys. In his absence, fellow back A.J. Dillon has seen minimal action, with three carries in Week 2 and none the week after. Tank Bigsby is still yet to record an offensive stat with his new team. In his last appearance, Shipley had just three carries as Saquon Barkley's understudy. So, it seems unlikely that his comeback will change much, and he'll continue to be used sparingly. He's a decent handcuff to keep on standby, but otherwise Shipley should not see fantasy lineups in Week 4.
