Found the Player answer ... You don't have to change Player's VM settings as I wasted a bit of time doing. You just go Full Screen (Ctrl+Alt+Enter), then the "Cycle multiple monitors" command is available and it fills both my screens at the correct resolutions.
That passes my sanity test for having a bare-bones host OS and using Player to run my "real" OS and some other testing ones. A licenced copy of Workstation is still a candidate if it has extra features that I will use.
