J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. He logged a full practice on Friday and was removed from the team's final injury report. The 24-year-old is buried on the Eagles wide receiver depth chart and was not targeted in Week 1's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Despite being active for Week 2, "JJAW" is not on the fantasy radar and can be left on the waiver wire.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside has reportedly been impressive in practices and could possibly make "a late push" according to beat writer Tim McManus of ESPN. Arcega-Whiteside caught two touchdowns from Joe Flacco in a group practice with the New England Patriots and has been working out of the slot in many offensive formations. A thoroughly disappointing former second-round pick, Arcega-Whiteside only has 14 catches in his career and was unable to make his presence felt at all last season despite all of the issues the Eagles had at the wide receiver position.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside will be on the bubble in training camp. The Athletic's Bo Wulf thinks the chances of Arcega-Whiteside ever becoming a useful NFL receiver are low because of his meager production in the first two years of his career. But with a wide receiver specialist as a head coach, the Eagles could give him one more chance to prove he belongs alongside DeVonta Smith, Jalen Reagor, Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward and Quez Watkins. John Hightower, who was one of the least productive wideouts in the league last year on a per-snap basis, is expected to be a roster casualty this summer. Arcega-Whiteside has just 14 catches (30 targets) for 254 yards and one touchdown in 24 games (five starts) in his first two NFL seasons.
