2024 Fantasy Outlook
Armstead spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career in San Francisco but joined Jacksonville during the offseason on a three-year, $51 million deal. He had 27 tackles and five sacks last season but was limited to 12 games due to foot and knee injuries, the latter of which required offseason surgery. Armstead has played in just 21 contests over the last two years, though in the four prior seasons he didn't miss a game. The 30-year-old isn't likely to be on the IDP radar but should be a defensive anchor for the Jags if he can stay healthy. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Disappoints in Jacksonville
Armstead tallied 29 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and three passes defended over 17 games in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman inked a three-year, $51 million deal with the Jaguars this past offseason after spending the first nine seasons of his career with the 49ers. Armstead's first season in Jacksonville was underwhelming, as he recorded just 2.0 sacks, tying his rookie year for the lowest total of his career when appearing in 16 or more games in a season. However, the 31-year-old did tie his career high in passes defended in a single season. Having signed a large contract with Jacksonville in 2024, Armstead is expected to remain one of the team's top interior defensive linemen in 2025.

Armstead dealt with a lower-body injury that caused him to miss eight games and finish with just 11 tackles and no sacks in 2022. The 29-year-old had begun to develop into an interior pass-rush threat while showing good durability - 16 or more games in the four previous seasons - before regressing last year. Armstead still is under contract through 2024, so it will be interesting to see how new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks deploys the versatile lineman after the team signed star defensive tackle Javon Hargrave this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Moving back to interior line?
Armstead, who served in a rotational role at edge rusher during the 2024 regular season, will likely switch back to his natural role as an interior defensive starter for the 2025 campaign, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports
ANALYSIS
Armstead inked a three-year, $51 million contract with the Jaguars in March of 2024 after spending the first nine years of his NFL career with the 49ers. He played in all 17 games during the regular season, but he finished with just 2.0 sacks, which was his lowest amount for a full year since his rookie campaign in 2015. Part of that decline was due to him moving to the edge and rotating behind starters Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen, but Armstead will likely shift back to the interior for 2025 under a new coaching regime.
