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 a rough go of it over the last couple of weeks, but Love looks to bounce back with a Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. Love has been an unstartable fantasy in most weeks this season, and in his past two games, Love has finished QB24 in both weeks and has combined for just 17.8 fantasy points. In his last two matchups against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles, Love has zero touchdown passes and thrown one interception, while averaging 225 yards passing. Even with Love getting Romeo Doubs (chest) returning as he was removed from the injury report, it's difficult to justify Love as a fantasy-worthy quarterback. Even in a plus matchup against the New York Giants in Week 11, it's wise to leave Love on waivers or on your bench.
