2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rypien was signed by Minnesota to compete for the backup quarterback role during training camp. He has appeared in 10 regular-season games since being signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in April of 2019. The former Boise State product has thrown a total of 168 passes and posted a 4:11 TD:INT. His most extensive action came when he played with the Broncos in 2022, completing 60.2 percent of his passes while tossing two touchdowns and four interceptions. Read Past Outlooks
Inactive for Sunday
Rypien (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Rypien was the emergency third quarterback for the Vikings in their Week 17 win over the Lions, but with the return of starter J.J. McCarthy, the QB no longer has a game-day role. John Wolford will be Sunday's emergency third quarterback.

2021
Rypien is likely to enter the season as the Bears' No. 3 quarterback. The veteran is entering his fifth year in the league, a time in which the former Boise State product has thrown a total of 168 passes and posted a 4:11 TD:INT. His most extensive action came when he played with the Broncos in 2022, completing 60.2 percent of his passes while tossing two touchdowns and four interceptions. He's unlikely to be more than a depth option for the Bears as Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent are above him on the QB depth chart.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be needed in Week 15
Rypien may start for the Colts in Week 15 against the Seahawks, with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reporting that both Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard suffered injuries in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Jones was dealt the more serious blow, as a torn Achilles will cost him the rest of the season. That alone would be enough to get Rypien brought up from Indianapolis' practice squad, but Leonard, a sixth-round selection in the 2025 Draft, also picked up a knee injury after replacing Jones in Sunday's loss. If Leonard is also sidelined for Week 15, Rypien would be the next man for the Colts under center. The 29-year-old last started an NFL game in 2023 while with the Rams, and he's appeared in only 11 games total since making his debut with the Broncos in 2020.
