Who Should I Start? Brett Rypien or Jordan Love

Tuesday, October 14, 7:41 PM

Veteran free-agent quarterback Brett Rypien signed with the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Tuesday, a source told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) suffered a fractured orbital bone before Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals when a resistance band snapped and hit him in the face. With Richardson expected to be out multiple weeks, the Colts placed him on Injured Reserve on Monday, meaning he will be out at least four games. Rypien will give the Colts added QB insurance behind starter Daniel Jones and new No. 2 Riley Leonard. The 29-year-old was with the Minnesota Vikings in training camp before joining the Cincinnati Bengals. He played three offensive snaps with Cincy but was cut after the Bengals acquired veteran QB Joe Flacco in a trade. Rypien has completed 58.3% of his pass attempts for 950 passing yards, four touchdowns, and nine interceptions in 11 career games (four starts) since entering the league in 2020 with the Denver Broncos.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has had some spike weeks, but his overall fantasy production has disappointed. Love looks to right the ship this week in a tough matchup at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. After Week 8 when Love was the overall QB1 and scored 28.3 fantasy points, he followed that up with a dud game in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers. Love was 26-of-37 for 273 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. His 10 fantasy points were his worst fantasy production of the season, and it doesn't get any easier against the Eagles. Philadelphia allows the fourth-fewest touchdown passes as well as the ninth-lowest yards per attempt this season to quarterbacks. Consider Love a low-end streaming fantasy quarterback in Week 10.
