Brett Rypien News
Wednesday, December 10, 11:12 AM
The Indianapolis Colts have signed quarterback Brett Rypien to the active 53-man roster from the practice squad, according to the team's official website. Rypien joined the Colts' practice squad in Week 7 after third-year quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) was placed on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old signal-caller was in line to be the Colts' starter after Daniel Jones (Achilles) suffered a season-ending torn Achilles and rookie Riley Leonard (knee) suffered a Grade 1 PCL sprain in Week 14. However, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement on Tuesday, and he is expected to start for the Colts as soon as this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Rypien will likely serve as a backup behind Rivers or Leonard (if he is healthy enough to play in Week 15). If the journeyman signal-caller does wind up starting, Rypien would only be worth fantasy consideration in deep superflex and two-QB leagues.

Ben DiNucci News
Sunday, January 18, 5:32 PM
The Denver Broncos signed quarterback Ben DiNucci to their practice squad on Sunday. He rejoins the Broncos after playing for the team two seasons ago. With Bo Nix (ankle) set to miss the rest of the playoffs due to a broken bone in his ankle, the Broncos added DiNucci for quarterback depth. The 29-year-old was waived by the Falcons during training camp and hasn't played in an NFL game since 2020. Jarrett Stidham will start Sunday's AFC Championship game against either the Houston Texans or New England Patriots, while Sam Ehlinger will serve as the backup. The DiNucci signing doesn't have any fantasy impact, as he's likely to be the team's emergency quarterback unless the Broncos bring in other QB options next week.
