Availability
Ty Simpson has been named the emergency third QB for the Rams on Thursday. Stetson Bennett will perform backup duties.
Fantasy Impact
Simpson will need to develop more before getting his shot at being the primary backup. He was impressive in the preseason, but the Rams are opting to let the rookie sit a little longer before trusting him further.
Ty Simpson has signed his 4-year, $25.4 million rookie contract with the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Simpson's contract is fully guaranteed, includes a fifth-year option and features a $14.9-million signing bonus. The 23-year-old will serve as Matthew Stafford's backup after being taken in the first round of the 2026 Draft.
Ty Simpson has not signed his rookie contract with the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
The rookies are scheduled to report to training camp on Saturday for the Rams. This will remain a situation to monitor as Simpson competes for the backup role behind Matthew Stafford.
Ty Simpson remains without his rookie contract with the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Simpson and Fernando Mendoza remain the lone first-round picks unsigned. They'll likely look to reach a deal before training camp.
The Los Angeles Rams have selected QB Ty Simpson with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.
Fantasy Impact
There was talk pre-draft that a team would likely trade back into the first round to take the former Alabama QB. The Rams reportedly let QB Matthew Stafford know that they were going to take Simpson and that the plan is for Simpson to take over when Stafford chooses to retire. There are questions about his arm velocity that will need to be worked out, but if there is any head coach that can develop the young quarterback, it is likely head coach Sean McVay.
