Broncos' Bo Nix: Tough passing day Sunday
Bo Nix completed 19 of 33 passes for 223 yards and an interception in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Ravens. He added 36 rushing yards on six carries and caught a two-yard touchdown pass from Courtland Sutton.While the rookie QB was able to supply a little value as a runner and surprisingly as a pass catcher, Nix still has his worst performance as a passer since Week 2 -- the last time he threw more INTs than TDs. It was an especially disappointing effort given the struggles of the Baltimore secondary this season and the fact that he had a 7:1 TD:INT over his prior four games. Nix may have a tough time rebounding in a Week 10 road clash with Kansas City.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Produces four TDs in win
Bo Nix completed 28 of 37 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns while adding four more yards and a TD on five carries in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.The rookie QB put together his best performance of the season, leading the Denver Broncos to touchdowns on three straight drives in the second quarter before capping his day with a nine-yard scoring toss to Jaleel McLaughlin in the third. Nix's 284 passing yards also were a career high, and while the quality of the opposition Sunday has to be taken into account, the Oregon product still has completed 66.7 percent of his passes over the last four games while generating nine touchdowns (seven through the air, two on the ground) against only one interception. Nix will take on a Ravens defense Week 9 that just allowed Jameis Winston to hang 334 yards and three TDs on them in his first start of the season.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Efficient in big win
Bo Nix completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 10 times for 75 yards in the Denver Broncos' 33-10 win over the Saints on Thursday night.Nix faced a Saints team that was significantly short-handed on offense, so he had the luxury of being able to run a fairly conservative game plan that limited his exposure as a passer. The rookie managed to remain free of turnovers for the fourth time in the last five games, and he connected with six different targets overall. Nix's rush attempts and rushing yards were both new career highs as well, and he appears to be making solid week-to-week progress heading into a favorable Week 8 home matchup against the vulnerable Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws two more TDs in loss
Bo Nix completed 19 of 33 of pass attempts for 216 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while rushing six times for 61 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.Nix followed up last week's two-score performance with another pair of touchdowns against the Chargers on Sunday. The rookie first-rounder had just one touchdown pass in his first four games with Denver, so his recent ability to finish off drives shows some development as a passer. Nix's ability as a rusher (37-180-3) gives him value as a deep-league option heading into Thursday's matchup against New Orleans.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Leads efficient offense
Bo Nix completed 19 of 27 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders. He added eight rushes for nine yards and an additional score.Nix didn't have his best game from a yardage perspective, but his command of the offense looks to remain on the upswing. He averaged 7.6 yards per attempt and completed five passes of at least 20 yards -- both of which marked career bests. After throwing a pair of picks in each of his two games as a pro, Nix now has also started to avoid mistakes with zero turnovers across his last three matchups. While things have improved, he's still not likely to be a consistent source of fantasy points as he has yet to reach 250 passing yards in a game, and Sunday's win marked his first effort with multiple passing scores.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Struggles in victory
Bo Nix completed 12 of 25 pass attempts for 60 yards and one touchdown while adding five rushes for three yards against the Jets on Sunday.The Denver Broncos somehow pulled off the 10-9 win, but Denver's passing game (60 yards) was less productive than the rushing attack (126 yards), which highlights the lopsidedness of the team's offense at the moment. The Jets' defense is likely one of the best in the league and rain was a factor, so Nix's struggles can be rationalized somewhat, but it still isn't easy to see how the Broncos are supposed to establish a consistent offense with their current personnel most weeks. Nix will hope to build some momentum against Las Vegas in Week 5.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Shows plenty of progress in win
Bo Nix completed 25 of 36 passes for 216 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and added nine rushes for 47 yards and a score in the Denver Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.Nix and the Broncos went into a presumably difficult and unseasonably warm road environment, but neither the rookie nor his teammates appeared fazed at any point. The rookie 12th overall pick averaged a modest 6.0 yards per attempt, but he steered clear of any turnovers for the first time in his nascent career. Nix demonstrated his usual prowess on the ground as well, and he recorded his second career rushing touchdown on a three-yard run to cap off Denver's opening drive. He connected with an impressive nine pass catchers overall, perhaps showing an increasing command of coach Sean Payton's offense heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Jets next Sunday.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Picked twice in loss
Bo Nix completed 20 of 35 passes for 246 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. He added four rushes for 25 yards.Nix struggled throughout the game, as he ended the first half with only seven completions for 39 yards. He picked up his performance a bit in the final two quarters, though he threw a key pick in the end zone halfway through the third quarter, significantly changing the momentum of a two-possession deficit. Nix's line also benefitted from a 49-yard completion that came on a trick play two calls earlier. Nix has had a tough start to his pro career, failing to throw a touchdown across two games while being picked off four times. He's also averaging only 5.0 yards per attempt.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Runs in first TD
Bo Nix completed 26 of 42 pass attempts for 138 yards and two interceptions while rushing five times for 35 yards and the first touchdown of his NFL career in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Seattle.Nix was named the Denver Broncos' starter earlier this week and punched in his first score as a pro late in Sunday's comeback attempt against the Seahawks. The 12th overall pick also threw two interceptions while averaging just 3.3 yards per attempt, resulting in a poor fantasy performance. Nix's ability as a runner is what gives him value for those in 2QB formats, but there are likely safer options in standard leagues.
