  Jaguars | Victory for Jacksonville in Week 18    Sun Jan 9, 05:23 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence went 23-for-32 for 223 yards and two touchdowns against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18 and also rushed for 17 yards on 10 carries. RB Ryquell Armstead rushed for 52 yards on nine carries and caught two passes for 10 yards. RB Dare Ogunbowale rushed for 30 yards on 11 carries and caught three passes for 25 yards. WR Marvin Jones caught seven passes for 88 yards and one touchdown on eight targets. WR Laviska Shenault Jr. caught five passes for 62 yards on seven targets, while WR Laquon Treadwell caught three passes for 24 yards and one touchdown on five targets.

Footballguys view: Lawrence had his best game of the year by a large margin in a good sign for Jaguars fans. Jones had an amazing touchdown catch on an amazing Lawrence throw to basically clinch the game as the long suffering Jaguars fans had something to cheer about today, including retaining the #1 pick after the Lions beat the Packers.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead cut    Mon May 17, 03:20 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead was waived Monday, May 17.

Footballguys view: Armstead was forced to miss the 2020 season due to complications with COVID-19, but there should be teams willing to take a look at him. In 2019, Armstead flashed a bit as the direct backup to Leonard Fournette. We'll see if he can find a new team in the near future.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead out indefinitely    Mon Sep 7, 01:27 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead will not be ready to play for 'a while,' according to head coach Doug Marrone.

Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs are anxious to see how the Jaguars backfield shakes out...although this is a situation to largely avoid in most leagues. Devine Ozigbo and James Robinson should split carries in Week 1 against the Colts. Armstead was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list for the second time this summer recently.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead on COVID list    Fri Sep 4, 04:53 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Sept. 4.

Footballguys view: This is the second time that Armstead has landed on the COVID list this summer. He was in line to get more work with the team moving on from Leonard Fournette. Instead, Armstead has battled a groin injury and has been on the COVID list twice. Devine Ozigbo may be the Jaguars lead back to start the season with Chris Thompson working as the team's change-of-pace back.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead, TE Charles Jones, WR Michael Walker and S Andrew Wingard were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Aug. 2.

Footballguys view: Armstead is the primary backup to Leonard Fournette. He's a handcuff for Fantasy GMs if you've got the roster space on the bench. His absence could help former Nebraska UDFA Devine Ozigbo impress in practice. Veteran Chris Thompson is also there as a change-of-pace back.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead showed promise in passing game    Tue May 12, 07:23 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead averaged 10.29 yards per reception on 14 catches last year. No rookie back with at least 10 catches had a higher average.

Footballguys view: Armstead is a talented running back who is just waiting for an opportunity to do more. With Leonard Fournette still in town, Armstead will work as his primary backup once again. If Fournette goes down with an injury, Armstead has three-down ability.

  Jaguars | Jags finish up on high note in Week 17    Sun Dec 29, 08:48 PM

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead will have a role    Sun Sep 1, 08:59 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead will be counted on 'heavily' to serve as the primary backup for RB Leonard Fournette, according to Florida Football Insiders.

Footballguys view: All Fantasy GMs who have the bench space should add a talent like Ryuell Armstead. We might see Fournette get banged up again this season, and that would make Armstead the primary back for the Jaguars. Stash him on your bench or keep him on your waiver wire speed dial.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead efficient in loss    Thu Aug 29, 10:28 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead rushed six times for 40 yards and caught his only target for 10 yards in a 31-12 preseason loss to the Atlanta Falcons Thursday, Aug. 29.

Footballguys view: Alfred Blue has been a little banged up, so Armstead has a chance to be squarely in the mix for carries behind Leonard Fournette and potentially the back to add if Fournette goes down. We'll keep him on the waiver wire watch list.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead a full participant    Mon Aug 19, 07:23 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead (concussion) fully participated in practice Monday, Aug. 19.

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead (undisclosed) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, July 25.

Footballguys view: It sounds like there was a problem with the GPS in his conditioning test. He's over the June hamstring injury and will have a chance to beat out Alfred Blue to back up Leonard Fournette - a job that has potential fantasy impact if Fournette can't stay healthy.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead still on track    Thu Jul 18, 09:26 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead (hamstring) remains on track for the start of training camp, according to John Reid of The Florida Times-Union.

Footballguys view: Armstead is the only Jaguars RB being drafted behind Leonard Fournette. With Fournette's propensity to get banged up and miss time, Fantasy GMs need to be locked into the battle for the No. 2 job. The main backup to Fournette right now has to be veteran Alfred Blue.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead injury update    Thu Jun 6, 07:27 PM

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead (hamstring) suffered a slight hamstring injury during practice Tuesday, June 5, but likely will be sidelined until training camp, according to head coach Doug Marrone.

Footballguys view: A fifth-round pick out of Temple in the 2019 NFL draft, Armstead is a chain-moving running back who strikes a defense with great determination and heart. Armstead is not much of a receiving threat and makes his keep by grinding out tough yards between the tackles with instinct and power. He's competing for a spot on the depth chart behind Leonard Fournette and may win the primary backup job if he looks better than veteran Alfred Blue. It's an important spot for Fantasy GMs to monitor as Fournette gets banged up quite a bit. We'll see if Armstead can get healthy and impress in training camp.

  Jaguars | Ryquell Armstead signs rookie deal    Thu May 9, 10:25 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Ryquell Armstead signed a four-year deal Thursday, May 9. Financial terms of the contract were not immediately available.

Footballguys view: Armstead has speed and toughness as an inside runner. He hasn't done much as a receiver, but should be able to push Alfred Blue to back up Leonard Fournette and be poised to benefit if Fournette falls out of favor with the coaching staff.
