2023 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Landing in Jacksonville
The Jaguars are slated to sign Armstead (knee), Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead, whose deal is reportedly for three years and $51 million, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, immediately becomes a linchpin of Jacksonville's defensive front, fixing a huge need for the team along the interior of the defensive line. The 30-year-old is recovering from surgery undergone to address a torn meniscus, which he played through during the 49ers' postseason run.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Felt disrespected by 49ers' offer
On his podcast 'Third and Long' on Thursday, Armstead said that he felt "extremely disrespected" by the 49ers' offer of a one-year deal worth up to $8 million with incentives, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Armstead acknowledged the business nature of the NFL, adding that heading into the season he felt like "I might play myself out of being in San Francisco." Given the 49ers have a large portion of their cap space tied to Javon Hargrave and Nick Bosa, there simply was not enough room for Armstead, who finished the 2023 season with 27 tackles, including 5.0 sacks, over 12 games. After being released by the 49ers, Armstead signed a three-year, $43.5 million with the Jaguars on March 14.

Armstead put together a solid bounce-back campaign after struggling mightily in 2020 without the help of DeForest Buckner or a healthy Nick Bosa to attract the offensive line's best blockers. The 27-year-old finished with 63 tackles and six sacks in 17 games last season. Armstead later proved to be a team player by restructuring what turned out to be a slightly overvalued extension that he signed in March 2020.
