Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Re-signs to practice squad

2021
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.

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.
