J.J. Arcega-Whiteside

Just how much does matchup matter to you? These two are likely going to be on the field quite a bit for the Redskins this week, as Alshon Jeffery is out, and Agholor has been in-and-out of the lineup with injuries. Ward saw a massive nine targets last week against the Giants, though they only netted four catches for 34 yards. Arcega-Whiteside hasn't been targeted much in his rookie season and has yet to top five targets despite all the injuries on the team. The Redskins have faced just 16.5 targets per game to wide receivers, but when targeted, they're allowing a 69.8 percent catch-rate and 1.97 PPR points per target. Both of those numbers are bottom-six in the league. But here's something that might shock some people… The Redskins have allowed just 10 wide receivers to finish as top-24 performers against them. The lack of targets to go around is a real thing. After benching Josh Norman a few weeks back, they now have Quinton Dunbar dealing with a hamstring injury, so we're down to Jimmy Moreland, Fabian Moreau, and Simeon Thomas as the starters in the secondary. If Agholor sits, both of these receivers make for decent last-minute replacements as WR5-type plays.

Fantasy Impact

Arcega-Whiteside could wind up as the Eagles' top receiver this Sunday against the Redskins. However, the rookie will still be difficult to trust in fantasy. Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert, and Miles Sanders will probably handle the majority of the passing game work.
