On the 757-200's most bags will fit just fine. Just don't stuff the outer front pockets of your rollerboard or have one thats "expandable" and you will be ok. There are a few places the crew can accomadate extra big bags.
It's been a little while since I was on a 755 or 756, but I could have sworn that on some older 755s there were tiny overheads in the FC cabin (much smaller than on the 753/319/320). Standard-sized rollaboards couldn't come close to fitting "wheels-out" in those, and had to go in sideways. Is that really the case on ALL the 757-200s?
