Brett Rypien Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien went 14-for-21 for 137 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in the 23-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the preseason finale on Saturday. Josh Johnson followed him up and went 11-for-14 for 107 yards without a touchdown or interception. Neither QB took a sack. Rypien and Johnson have been in a heated battle for the No. 2 job this summer behind Russell Wilson, and Rypien likely did enough on Saturday to win the job heading into Week 1 of the regular season against the Seattle Seahawks.

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien will be under center to begin Saturday's preseason finale against Minnesota, head coach Nathaniel Hackett revealed. Rypien and Josh Johnson have been battling throughout the preseason for backup duties to Russell Wilson, who can be expected to rest again with Rypien starting and Johnson handling the second half. Rypien won the lone start of his NFL career to this point, Week 4 of the 2020 season vs. the Jets. No matter whom Denver has under center, they'll be working with a cache of offensive talent with Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy out wide, in addition to Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon III in the backfield. The team opens the regular season Sept. 12 vs. Seattle.

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien went 22-for-26 for 191 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the team's second preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Josh Johnson went 8-for-16 for 70 yards without a touchdown or interception. The two signal-callers continue to battle for the backup job to Russell Wilson in training camp and the preseason, and the competition will likely continue into the team's third and final preseason contest against the Minnesota Vikings on Aug. 27. Rypien looked much better in this game in the second half and could win the backup job with another solid performance next week.
