2023 Fantasy Outlook
After three uneventful seasons in Denver, the fourth-year pro will enter a quarterback room headed by veteran Matthew Stafford, who has missed significant time with injury in two out of the past four seasons. Rypien will have to battle rookie Stetson Bennett for the outright backup job, and his pedestrian numbers from last season (483 yards and a 2:4 TD:INT ratio in four games) will make it a toss-up on who claims the No. 2 quarterback role.

Rypien agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Bears on Wednesday, pending a physical, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Rypien has made four starts and appeared in 10 games over the past four seasons, split between the Broncos and Rams. He has a 4:9 career TD:INT and will likely compete with Tyson Bagent for the backup role, be it behind Justin Fields or a rookie quarterback from the 2024 NFL Draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be back in starting role
QBDenver Broncos
December 11, 2022
Rypien came into the Week 14 loss to Kansas City after Russell Wilson was concussed, and Rypien would be in line to make his second start of the season in Week 15 against the Cardinals if Wilson's unable to clear concussion protocol before then.
ANALYSIS
Rypien threw for 16 yards, one touchdown and one interception after replacing Wilson in the 34-28 loss to the Chiefs. In his Week 7 start against the Jets, Rypien completed 24 of 46 passes for 225 yards and one interception, but the Broncos will face a much more generous Cardinals defense in Week 15.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
After playing just three snaps in the 2021 season as the No. 3 quarterback behind Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock, Rypien enters the 2022 season facing a similar situation. The newly acquired Russell Wilson will take over the reins, as Rypien will compete for the primary backup role with veteran Josh Johnson after he was signed to a one-year deal in March. It appears, for the time being, that Johnson is the favorite for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart.
Entering the 2021 season, Rypien would appear to have the edge to lock up the QB3 spot in Denver. Assuming offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur carries three quarterbacks on the final roster as he usually does, Rypien's experience in Denver's system is an added bonus in the quarterback room. Nonetheless, playing time will be hard to come by in 2021 for the veteran backup, as he is behind incumbent starter Drew Lock and newcomer Teddy Bridgewater on the team's depth chart.
