Brett Rypien News
The Denver Broncos have promoted quarterback Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active roster. Rypien drew interest from another team and rather than lose him, the Broncos will now roll with three quarterbacks on the active roster. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater remains the starter in Denver with Drew Lock backing him up. It would take something dramatic for Rypien to get on the field for meaningful snaps this season and he can remain on the waiver wire in all formats.
There remains a chance that Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien receives another start in Week 6 against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable for Sunday's contest. It's looking more like Lock will make his return since suffering a right shoulder injury in Week 2, though. Rypien was up-and-down in the Week 4 win over the lowly Jets, going 19-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions (one returned for a touchdown). It was a wobbly performance against arguably the worst team in the NFL, so the 24-year-old would likely struggle if he got the start against New England's defense this week, especially with All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore back in the fold. Ignore Rypien in fantasy if Lock is held out for another week.
Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien could be under center again in Week 5 on Monday night against the Patriots with Drew Lock (shoulder) questionable to play. As expected, Rypien was very up and down in his first career start against the Jets last week, going 19-for-31 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the team's first win of the year. He probably held off Jeff Driskel for another start if Lock isn't ready to go, but Rypien will be facing much stiffer competition in the Patriots if he gets another start. It doesn't help his cause that tight end Noah Fant (ankle) won't play this week, taking away one of the team's best offensive weapons. If Rypien receives the nod, he'll be nothing more than a desperation QB2 streamer in superflex leagues.
