Brett Rypien Fantasy

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien didn't look all that great in just his third career start in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, but he did lead the Broncos to only their fourth win of the season. In the 24-15 victory, Rypien went 21-for-26 for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception while getting sacked seven times for 41 yards. He also fumbled the ball twice and lost one of them. The 26-year-old was filling in for Russell Wilson (concussion), but there's a good chance that Wilson will return for a Week 16 battle against the Los Angeles Rams. Most of Denver's offense came on the ground against Arizona, with Latavius Murray and Marlon Mack combining for 167 rushing yards on 29 carries.

Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said that quarterback Russell Wilson (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Backup Brett Rypien will make his second start of the season in Wilson's absence. Denver is prioritizing Wilson's safety with the team already eliminated from playoff contention. The next chance Wilson will get to suit up will be in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams on Christmas Day. Rypien will be making just his third career start after going 4-for-8 for 16 yards with a touchdown and interception in the fourth quarter in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cardinals are a solid matchup for QBs, but Rypien will be without receivers Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring), making him a desperation low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien came on in relief of a concussed Russell Wilson in Week 14 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in the fourth quarter and went 4-for-8 for 16 yards, one touchdown and one interception. If Wilson doesn't clear the concussion protocol, Rypien could be making his second start of the year and the third of his career in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. In his first start against a tough New York Jets defense in Week 7, Rypien went 24-for-46 for 225 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. There's a chance receivers Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) could both be out, so Rypien won't have a ton of options if he gets the start. The 26-year-old would be a desperation low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if Wilson doesn't get the green light.
