Dorance Armstrong suspended one game by NFL

Dorance Armstrong suspended one game

The NFL suspended Washington Commanders DE Dorance Armstrong one game for violating the personal conduct policy, according to Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter).

Armstrong is also coming off a torn ACL suffered last season. Schefter reported the injury occurred in Week 7, though the exact timing is unconfirmed by other sources.

What this means for fantasy rosters

Armstrong is a pass rusher, which limits his direct fantasy relevance in most formats. The one-game suspension adds another hurdle on top of his ACL recovery. Dynasty managers tracking his return should factor in the suspension when projecting his availability at the start of the season.
