J.J. Arcega-Whiteside

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.

Eagles WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside is a healthy scratch for Week 10 against the Giants.

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.

WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside (calf) will not play in Sunday’s Week 4 against the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Arcega-Whiteside will not play Sunday’s game against the 49ers. He did not practice all week and continues to nurse a calf injury. The Eagles will have Greg Ward, John Hightower and Deontay Burnett as it’s top three wideouts for Sunday’s game.

Eagles wide receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside is listed as doubtful for the team's Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers due to a calf injury.

Fantasy Impact

Arcega-Whiteside injured his calf during pregame warmups in Week 3 and then only played a small percentage of the team's offensive snaps, and now it looks like he is going to miss this game, as well. After a disappointing rookie season, there were high hopes of a rebound for Arcega-Whiteside in 2020. With no catches and just two targets through three games and now an injury, he is not off to a good start. Greg Ward and John Hightower are expected to start for the Eagles on Sunday, with Jalen Reagor, DeSean Jackson, and Alshon Jeffery also out for Week 4.
