Nix completed 18 of 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing three times for four yards in Monday's 41-32 win over Cleveland.
Nix turned in mixed results in Monday's thrilling victory, throwing his 17th touchdown in addition to his seventh and eighth interceptions of the season. The rookie standout didn't have his best game as a rusher, either, but his 294 passing yards was his second-highest total through 13 starts. Nix has been progressing well since enduring a slow start to the campaign, making him a viable fantasy option coming out of the upcoming bye against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Broncos' Bo Nix: No injury designation for Monday
Rotowire
Nix (back) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Browns.
Nix was a full participant both Friday and Saturday, meaning he's good to go for the primetime affair against the Browns. Cleveland's defense is allowing 251 passing yards over the last three games, which ranks 10th worst in the NFL, and that includes last Thursday's blizzard-like conditions against the Steelers. The rookie quarterback could be poised for yet another outstanding day as he vies for Rookie of the Year honors.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Full participant Friday
Rotowire
Nix (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Nix's return to full participation Friday suggests he isn't in danger of sitting out Monday's game against the Browns after being limited on Thursday's practice estimate. The rookie quarterback confirmed as much himself Friday by stating "I'm good to go," per Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. Barring a setback, Nix won't have an injury designation when the Broncos release their final injury report Saturday.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Limited on practice estimate
Rotowire
Nix (back) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.
The Broncos held a walkthrough Thursday, with Nix estimated as a limited participant due to a back issue. The QB didn't miss a snap in Denver's 29-19 win over the Raiders in Week 12, an effort that led to Nix being named the NFL's Rookie of the Week for the third consecutive week. Therefore, it's quite possible that his listed limitations Thursday were maintenance-related. Added context on that front may arrive via Friday's injury report.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Nix continued his push for NFL Rookie of the Year with another strong performance in Week 12 against Las Vegas with 23.4 Fantasy points. He's now scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in six of his past eight games, including three in a row. The Browns have allowed three of the past four quarterbacks to score at least 22.5 Fantasy points, and Nix should be considered a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues in this matchup at home.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Stays hot in win over Raiders
Rotowire
Nix completed 25 of 42 pass attempts for 273 yards and two touchdowns (with no turnovers) while rushing for five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
Nix maintained the momentum from his career-best performance last week with another clean win while throwing multiple touchdown passes. The rookie quarterback has been developing quickly with 11 touchdowns to just one interception over his last five contests. Nix will lead a 7-5 Broncos squad into Week 13 for a home tilt against the Browns on Monday Night Football.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Nix was awesome as the Start of the Week in Week 11 against Atlanta with a career-high 36.8 Fantasy points, and he has now scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in five of his past seven games, including two in a row. That streak started in Week 5 against Las Vegas when he scored 27.1 Fantasy points with 206 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with 9 rushing yards and a touchdown, and I expect him to have another outstanding game against the Raiders in Week 12. Five of the past six quarterbacks against Las Vegas have scored at least 22.2 Fantasy points, including three in a row.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws four TDs in career-best game
Rotowire
Nix completed 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Nix set new single-game career highs in passing yards and touchdown passes as well as in completion percentage (85 percent) and passer rating (145). He threw a touchdown pass in each quarter, with a 12-yarder to Nate Adkins in the first, a 12-yarder to Marvin Mims in the second, a seven-yarder to Troy Franklin in the third and a 41-yarder to Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the fourth. Nix's four touchdown passes brought his season total up to 14, which tied the Broncos franchise rookie record set by Marlin Briscoe in 1968. The rookie first-round pick will look to take sole possession of that record during the Broncos' Week 12 trip to Vegas.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
Nix has been a legitimate top-12 Fantasy QB for the past six weeks and now he's at home against a Falcons defense that has allowed 21.6 FPPG to opposing QBs, and four straight-21-point performances. Nix ix also the best stash if you need one because he faces the Raiders in Week 12.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Nix had a solid game in Week 10 at Kansas City with 20.1 Fantasy points, and he's now scored at least 20 points in four of his past six games. He has a great matchup in Week 11 against Atlanta, and then he gets Las Vegas in Week 12. He's worth trusting as a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues against the Falcons, and he should be added for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
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.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.
