Nix scored 12.2 of his 26.18 fantasy points on an absurd 62-yard rushing touchdown that will never happen again in his career. Meanwhile, as a passer, he completed just 51.7% of his passes for 222 yards and one TD... Kansas City has been among the toughest, allowing 13.03 points per game to the position, third-fewest behind the Seahawks and Vikings.

Nix's Week 7 boom was inflated by a 62-yard rushing TD; Kansas City is a top-3 tough QB matchup.

Nix scored 12.2 of his 26.18 fantasy points on a 62-yard rushing touchdown that is unlikely to repeat; as a passer, he completed just 51.7% for 222 yards and one TD, with 52 yards and the TD coming on a screen pass to RJ Harvey that went for 60 yards after the catch. He scored fewer than 14 fantasy points in each of the previous three weeks and has only one game with multiple touchdown passes all season. Kansas City has been among the toughest QB matchups, allowing 13.03 points per game (third-fewest), and has only allowed 14+ points to one QB all season (Kirk Cousins in Week 4); Nix himself scored just 5.44 in Week 1 against the Chiefs with 131 passing yards, one TD, an INT, and a fumble lost. This divisional matchup has all the makings of an ugly, defensive battle where Denver will lean on the ground game to control the clock.
