Ty Simpson

Simpson opened the season as Los Angeles's third quarterback after Stetson Bennett IV secured the backup job coming out of camp and the preseason, so reaching the field as a rookie likely requires injuries to both Stafford and Bennett.

Simpson dealt with a cracked rib, a bout of gastritis, and a bulging disc/elbow bursitis in the lead-up to the draft; all resolved by the combine and nothing has recurred through the preseason, but it's a durability profile worth tracking.

Stafford is in the late stage of his career, and the Rams' first-round investment in Simpson signals him as the presumptive long-term successor once that window closes.
