You can check bags as a jumpseater. You can also list for a seat and check your bags on that reservation with a jumpseat listing as the backup. If you end up needing the jumpseat to make it on, just explain to the gate agent that you have checked bags under your non-rev listing. They seem pretty good about getting your bags put on when doing this.
