Brett Rypien's fantasy outlook

Due to Russell Wilson's injury, Brett Rypien, the QB for the Denver Broncos, will start Week 7 game against the New York Jets. In 2020 facing the same Jets, Rypien made his first professional start. This will be his second.

Fantasy owners shouldn't anticipate Rypien to appear out of nowhere and save the day as Denver's attack enters Week 7 with the lowest points per game in the league. Only fantasy owners needing a warm body in two QB Superflex leagues should consider the 26-year-old.

Wilson's unavailability will probably result in less work produced by Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. Given that Rypien has only made one career start, the two receivers should be reduced to flex alternatives.

Even though the lead-back position remains contentious, the Broncos will probably rely on the run. Melvin Gordon will start, according to head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Still, it's unknown how the three fit running backs will be distributed, leaving Broncos running backs as tricky choices.

In his single professional football start against the Jets in October 2020, Rypien amassed 242 passing yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions while hurling three picks in a 37-28 away victory.

Russell Wilson's poor performances have dragged the club behind in the early innings of this campaign, so a shift at quarterback is not the most ridiculous thing for Denver.

The Broncos' defensive unit has only given up more than 20 points once this campaign. They now rank seventh regarding fantasy points given away per game heading into Week 7.

Wilson had trouble seeing the field and delivering throws, registering a career-low completion rate of 58.6 while only completing 44.4 percent of his attempts when facing man coverage.

Fantasy owners must downgrade Denver's attacking skill players, particularly receiver Courtland Sutton, now that Brett Rypien will start as quarterback for at least this gameweek.
