Projection Rationale
Armstrong’s 5.5 sacks in 17 games indicates a steady production trajectory. His efficiency grade and usage grade both rank below his production grade, suggesting room for improvement. He has two years remaining on his contract, which provides some role security.
Injury Risk
Armstrong has a history of injuries, including being listed as questionable in Week 7 of 2025 due to practice participation. His durability grade ranks at the 78th percentile, and his age of 28 increases his injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
With Raheem Morris coordinating the 4-3 defense, Armstrong’s role is secure.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Raheem Morris coordinates a 4-3 defense with a high blitz rate of 33.9%. This scheme type and blitz rate directly affect Armstrong’s fantasy production.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Armstrong’s efficiency grade declined to the 76th percentile, and his production grade dropped to the 61st percentile, indicating a decline in overall performance.
Ceiling / Floor
