Philadelphia Eagles Week 18 duds

The season finale’s duds list features a wide receivers double-play.

1. JJ Arcega-Whiteside, wide receiver

It would be hard to argue against JJ Arcega-Whiteside landing on the duds list when he dropped a pass in the end zone that should have been an easy touchdown catch, but if that didn’t seal his fate, another offensive pass interference penalty on one of those rub routes the Eagles should stop running and a dropped pass that wound up as an interception definitely sealed his fate.

How’s this for analysis?

That just about sums it up, doesn’t it?

2. Jalen Reagor, wide receivers

Jalen Reagor has struggled to take the next step. We all had to be under the impression that he might excel once Dallas took their foot off of the gas though, right?

Nope… He’s just as bad versus backups and guys who are going through the motions. We’re sick of that jet sweep/wide receiver reverse. Jalen Reagor has a chance at becoming one of the worst busts in franchise history.

3. Arryn Siposs, punter

Yeah, it’s probably unfair that we only bring up these guys when they do something wrong, but as good as Arryn Siposs has been at times, you can’t escape the duds list following a 28-yard shank, especially when that shank puts the Cowboys in position to score ahead of halftime (which they did).

That touchdown before the half, Dak Prescott’s fourth touchdown of the half, changed a close game and shifted the momentum in Dallas’ favor for the remainder of the contest. That can’t happen in the postseason.
