Nix had the chance for a better game at Baltimore in Week 9, but he missed some open receivers for big plays. He ended up with 17.7 Fantasy points, which is fine, but that was a favorable matchup. I don't like the matchup at Kansas City in Week 10, and Nix is only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. The Chiefs have only allowed three quarterbacks to score more than 18.9 Fantasy points and one since Week 2. I'm expecting Nix to stay under 20 Fantasy points in Week 10.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Tough passing day Sunday
Rotowire
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: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
We had Nix as a sleeper last week, and he delivered with 35.8 Fantasy points against Carolina. Hopefully he'll stay hot in Week 9 against the Ravens, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Four quarterbacks in a row and five of the past six against Baltimore have scored at least 24.9 Fantasy points, and Nix has now scored at least 24.7 points in three of his past four games.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Nix scored a season-high 35.8 Fantasy points in Week 8 against Carolina, and he's now scored at least 24.7 points in three of his past four games. He's scored at least six Fantasy points in four games in a row with just his rushing totals alone, and his upcoming schedule is favorable with matchups against Baltimore in Week 9, Atlanta in Week 11, and Las Vegas in Week 12 (he faces the Chiefs in Week 10). Nix is worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
I don't actually like Nix as much as I did last week. The Ravens are a good matchup, but they aren't as inept as the Panthers. And Vegas doesn't like the Broncos offense near as much, their implied total is eight points lower. Still, the Ravens have given up the third most Fantasy points per game to opposing QBs and Nix is averaging 21.6 FPPG since Week 3.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Produces four TDs in win
Rotowire
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 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: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Nix is worth starting in deeper leagues in Week 8 against the Panthers, who are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Nix has emerged as one of the better running quarterbacks this season, and he has at least 61 rushing yards in each of his past two games against the Chargers and Saints. He also scored at least 19.3 Fantasy points in three of his past five games. Only two quarterbacks this season have failed to score at least 20 Fantasy points against Carolina's defense.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Week 8 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Nix has emerged as one of the better running quarterbacks this season, and he has at least 61 rushing yards in each of his past two games against the Chargers and Saints. He also scored at least 19.3 Fantasy points in three of his past five games and now gets a favorable matchup against Carolina in Week 8 before facing Baltimore in Week 9, Atlanta in Week 11 and Las Vegas in Week 12. It might be time to consider using Nix in deeper one-quarterback leagues, and he should be added for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
The Panthers have seen the 21st most pass attempts from opposing QBs, and they've allowed the third most passing TDs. Nix has at least 25 rushing yards in five of seven games and 136 yards combined in his last two games. If you want to trust the projections, he's the top streamer and a top-12 QB this week.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Efficient in big win
Rotowire
Nix completed 16 of 26 passes for 164 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed 10 times for 75 yards in the 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: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Nix has scored at least 19.3 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, including at least 24.7 points in two contests in a row against the Raiders and Chargers. He's run for at least 25 yards in four of six games, including three rushing touchdowns, and it's time to consider him as a potential starter in deeper leagues. He has a tough matchup in Week 7 at New Orleans on Thursday, but then he faces Carolina in Week 8. Nix is worth adding for at least 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws two more TDs in loss
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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: Shows plenty of progress in win
Rotowire
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 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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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 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.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Week 1 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'm looking forward to seeing what Nix can do in his rookie campaign, and he landed with the right coach in Sean Payton. I don't expect Nix to post dominant stats, but he could prove to be a reliable No. 2 Fantasy quarterback in 14-team leagues.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Next start, Week 1
Rotowire
Nix won't play in Sunday's preseason finale against the Cardinals, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
With Nix being held out of the team's final exhibition game, coach Sean Payton relayed that Jarrett Stidham will start Sunday and play 8-12 snaps, after which Zach Wilson will get an extended look, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. The next game action Nix will see comes Sept. 8, when he's scheduled to start against the Seahawks in Week 1. The No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was officially named Denver's starting quarterback following Wednesday's practice.

Broncos' Bo Nix: May be named starter soon
Rotowire
Nix may be named as the Broncos' starting quarterback this week, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Stevens expects coach Sean Payton to make an announcement in the coming days, after Nix completed eight of nine passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-2 win over Green Bay while leading the Broncos to 10 points on their first two drives. Nix also was solid in the preseason opener -- 15-for-21 passing for 125 yards and a TD -- and his scrambling has been encouraging from a fantasy standpoint (six rush attempts for 29 yards in two games). Veteran quarterback Jarrett Stidham has been much less impressive this preseason, completing 11 of 18 passes for 102 yards with one rushing TD and two interceptions.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Confirmed as starter Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Sean Payton said Friday that Nix will start Sunday's preseason game against the Packers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Payton's comments confirm the plan he proposed ahead of Denver's preseason opener last week, which Jarrett Stidham started. Nix, who completed 15 of 21 passes for 125 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for 17 yards versus the Colts last week, will work with the first-team offense against Green Bay on Sunday. Stidham will then enter the contest, followed by Zach Wilson.
