J.J. Arcega-Whiteside

The Eagles will try J.J. Arcega-Whiteside at tight end for the 2022 season.

Fantasy Impact

The former second-round pick primarily served as a blocker for the majority of the 2021 season, and he has good size for a transition to the tight end position. In his two-year career, he has only tallied 16 receptions for 290 yards and one touchdown.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside caught his one target for 13 yards in loss to Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Arcega-Whiteside is not worth rostering in all formats unless another receiver in Eagles receiving group is unable to suit up for some reason. Arcega-Whiteside has only 1 target in each of his past two games, until that changes in a positive manner you should be able to find a better option from waivers.

The Philadelphia Eagles are placing wide receivers J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, John Hightower, and Deontay Burnett on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, according to a report from NFL insider Geoff Mosher. Arcega-Whiteside reportedly tested positive, while Hightower and Burnett were identified as close contacts.

Fantasy Impact

Arcega-Whiteside was a healthy scratch in Week 10 against the Giants and has just two receptions on five targets through seven games despite the Eagles dealing with a number of injuries on the offensive side of the ball. He will miss at least this Sunday's game against the Browns but may not have been active even if not for this diagnosis.

Fantasy Impact

"JJAW" will take a seat with Alshon Jeffery (calf) making his season debut. Even in deep dynasty leagues, JJAW can be left on waivers.

Eagles wide receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside did not catch his only target on Sunday but did score a touchdown by recovering a Miles Sanders fumble in the end zone. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Fantasy Impact

Arcega-Whiteside has been a major disappointment for the Eagles after being drafted in the second round last year, and he has failed to produce in 2020 despite Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, and Jalen Reagor all missing time with injuries.
