49ers Put Arik Armstead On COVID-19 List
4 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers placed defensive lineman Arik Armstead on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. It's unclear if Armstead tested positive for COVID-19 or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who did. Either way, he'll have plenty of time to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols with their bye coming in Week 11. San Francisco will not play again until Nov. 29 when they face the division-rival Rams in Los Angeles. Armstead hasn't been fantasy relevant in IDP leagues with just 25 tackles (15 solo), nine QB hits, two passes defensed and 1.5 sacks in 10 games after recording a career-high 10 sacks in 2019. Fantasy managers should also continue avoiding a banged-up Niners defense when they return from their bye.
