Jets | Tim Boyle released Tue Dec 5, 12:34 PM
New York Jets QB Tim Boyle was released Tuesday, Dec. 5. The Jets signed QB Brett Rypien off the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad to their 53-man roster.
| Footballguys view: Boyle was terrible as the Jets' starter, which everyone could have guessed... except the Jets who wanted to get away from Zach Wilson as their starter. Now, the team has reportedly asked Wilson to be their starter again. We can only say, sorry Jets fans. |

Rams | Brett Rypien struggles in road loss Sun Nov 5, 06:39 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Brett Rypien completed 13-of-28 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers, while adding 19 rushing yards on three attempts with two fumbles and one lost.
| Footballguys view: The Rams offense was miserable with Rypien. No one was a viable play. Hopefully Matthew Stafford will be ready to go after next week's bye, but this game was bad enough that the Rams may be tempted to put Stafford back out there before his thumb is healed. He would probably still outperform Rypien even if his thumb was amputated. |

Rams | Brett Rypien could start in Week 9 Sat Nov 4, 11:04 AM
Los Angeles Rams QB Brett Rypien would likely start Week 9's game against the Green Bay Packers if QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) is unable to play.
| Footballguys view: Stafford has been listed as questionable for the game against the Packers. Rams HC Sean McVay has indicated Stafford is a game-time decision, and it mainly depends on whether Stafford can grip the football. If Stafford can't go (he didn't practice all week) then Rypien gets the nod. Downgrade your expectations for the Rams offense if Rypien is under center. |

Rams | Brett Rypien joining LAR Thu May 4, 11:46 AM
Free-agent QB Brett Rypien (Broncos) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams Wednesday, May 3, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Rypien was the no.2 quarterback for the Broncos, and he's been forced into starting duty a couple of times over the last few seasons. Undrafted out of Boise State in 2019, Rypien is incredibly smart (and he's probably going to be a coach someday) but he's limited in his skill set. His experience gives him an edge to win the primary backup job behind starting QB Matthew Stafford. Rookie Stetson Bennett (who is only one year younger than Rypien) is his main competition for the no.2 job. |

| Footballguys view: We liked Cleveland last year during his rookie season in dynasty formats but he has not looked good in 2021. Williams is the late-round pick they got out of Auburn this year and he's got a nice size/speed combination. He's the player we'll monitor from this group in dynasty formats. |

Broncos | Denver gets all of its QBs back Tue Dec 1, 04:31 PM
Denver Broncos QBs Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Dec. 1.
| Footballguys view: The Broncos should have Drew Lock on the field as their starter on Sunday night against the Chiefs. There could be some discipline for Lock from the team or the league but we doubt that includes a benching. We could see fines for the quarterback room after they failed to follow COVID protocol and all had to miss the game against the Saints in Week 12. |

There might be some discipline from the team or the league since this quarterback room violated COVID protocols last week and were all unavailable to play in Week 12. Lock is running out of time to prove himself as a potential franchise quarterback for the Broncos. Right now, Lock is just trying to prove that he can be adequate consistently. |

Updating a previous story, Denver Broncos QBs Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles have been ruled ineligible for the game Sunday, Nov. 29, against the New Orleans Saints due to COVID-19 contact tracing, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Absolutely huge news for the Broncos here. They are not going to forfeit this game but have to move forward with RB Royce Freeman (their emergency quarterback) as the starter. They can run Wildcat formation with RBs Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay if they choose. Also, it has been suggested that practice squad WR Kendall Hinton (a three-year starting QB at Wake Forest) could step into the role. Stay tuned. |

Denver Broncos QB Brett Rypien completed 19 of his 31 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions against the New York Jets on Thursday, Oct. 1.
| Footballguys view: Rypien had some excellent passes on Thursday night, but also made too many mistakes, which is to be expected. He did enough to hang around as a third quarterback with aspirations to be a backup, but Drew Lock could be back next week and the Broncos could also go with Blake Bortles against New England, so Rypien's 2QB/Superflex value is hanging by a thread. |

Broncos | Brett Rypien likely Week 4 starter Tue Sep 29, 01:55 PM
Denver Broncos QB Brett Rypien is expected to be named the starting quarterback for Week 4 against the New York Jets, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: That sounds about right. Rypien came in for the Broncos on their last drive and moved the team into scoring position before tossing an interception (targeted for Jerry Jeudy) in the end zone. He's a smart quarterback with good footwork but an average arm at best. The Broncos should try and run the ball more with an inexperienced quarterback making his first start. We'll see if OC Pat Shurmur shows more creativity against the Jets. |
