News: 3 days agoSimpson (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Rams' emergency third quarterback for Sunday night's contest against the Broncos, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Simpson will operate as the No. 3 QB for the third straight week to open the 2026 campaign. He will only be able to enter the game if both starter Matthew Stafford and top backup Stetson Bennett are forced to exit the contest.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Simpson was selected by the Rams in the first round of April's draft. Simpson was a one-year starter at Alabama and wasn't overly impressive statistically, completing 64% of his passes and posting a pedestrian 76.6 QBR. He's fairly accurate with an average arm, but he's a bit undersized and doesn't figure to move the needle a ton with his legs (62-309-2 rushing in 2025). Simpson won't see the field consistently until Matthew Stafford retires, so he's well off the 2026 fantasy radar. Keep him stashed in dynasty, especially superflex formats.
