Why It Matters:Bigsby will likely be sidelined until the second half of the season, so Will Shipley is in line for a bigger role and could start in Week 5 if Saquon Barkley is unavailable. Jaydon Blue and Dameon Pierce are candidates to be called up from the practice squad, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation. Shipley can be at least a flex option if he starts.
