Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a contract with the Bengals in September of 2025.
Promoted from practice squad
The Bengals signed Rypien off their practice squad Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
With Joe Burrow set to undergo surgery to address a Grade 3 turf toe injury and likely to remain out for at least three months, the Bengals will add Rypien to the roster to serve as the top backup to new starter Jake Browning. Rypien is on track to be active for Sunday's game in Minnesota, but his performance in practice over the ensuing weeks could determine whether he sticks around in the No. 2 role for the entirety of Burrow's absence. The Bengals added Mike White and Sean Clifford to their practice squad Tuesday, and either could eventually challenge Rypien for the top backup gig once they get up to speed with the playbook.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
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
Strong initial bid for roster spot
Rypien, who's battling Tyson Bagent for the Bears' No. 2 quarterback job behind first overall pick Caleb Williams, made a strong first impression during Chicago's Hall of Fame Game win over the Texans on Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rypien signed with the Bears at the start of free agency after spending last season with the Rams, but until Thursday night, he was thought to be a clear No. 3 behind Bagent, who impressed during multiple spot starts as a rookie in 2023. The perception may have shifted at least slightly with Rypien's near-perfect performance, one that saw him in clear command of his new team's offense on his way to tossing a trio of touchdown passes. Bagent was only in on Chicago's first possession Thursday, but he'll presumably have appreciably more opportunities to showcase his skills in the job battle over the final three exhibitions.
