Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
Armstrong entered the 2015 season primed to break out after a promising 2014 in which he threw for 2,695 yards and 22 scores while adding 705 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. However, running a new offense under a new coaching staff proved to be a challenge, as did overcoming the losses of Ameer Abdullah to the NFL and the dynamic De'Mornay Pierson-El to injury. With Armstrong, there’s always the bad with the good. The good can sometimes outweigh the bad, but at other times Armstrong’s lack of accuracy truly gets him in trouble and makes him turnover prone. Furthermore, coach Mike Riley’s system put a significant constraint on Armstrong’s rushing productivity as his rushing fell by roughly 20 yards per game. His interception total ballooned by four picks, ratcheting the count up to 16 on the year. The bottom line with Armstrong is he’s a boom-or-bust proposition, but his dual-threat skills and the strong wide receiver rotation at Nebraska gives him real fantasy utility much of the time.
Armstrong is coming into his second year at the helm of Nebraska’s offense, but it’ll be his first in new head coach Mike Reilly’s system. In addition to the coaching turnover, Nebraska lacks an elite option at running back, so there will be even more on Armstrong’s shoulders this season. Under Reilly’s system, there is going to be more emphasis on the passing game, and the hope is that Armstrong will be able to answer the bell and get his completion percentage up into the 60-percent range. Accuracy has lagged behind Armstrong’s other skills, which led to a meager 53.3-percent completion rate last season. It’s hard to imagine Armstrong running quite as much in the new offense, but Reilly’s ability to develop quarterbacks within his system should allow Armstrong’s passing numbers to improve and buoy his overall production.
