Last week, Bo Nix flashed a fantasy pulse as the QB3 for the week. Much of that fantasy output was based on his seven carries and 73 yards (one score) on the ground, not his passing prowess. For a quarterback that, outside of last week's game, hasn't had more than ten rushing yards in any game, I don't think we can count on the rushing floor and upside weekly. I expect Nix to come back to Earth this week as a middling QB2.

Nix expected to regress to middling QB2; don't count on rushing floor.

Last week, Nix flashed a fantasy pulse as QB3 for the week, but much of that output was based on seven carries and 73 yards (one score) on the ground, not passing prowess. For a quarterback that hasn't had more than ten rushing yards in any game outside of last week, the rushing floor and upside cannot be counted on weekly. Nix finished with 222 passing yards, one TD, 51.7% completion percentage, and 7.7 yards per attempt. Among 34 qualifying passers, he ranks 31st in yards per attempt, 33rd in passing success rate, 27th in passing TD rate, and 24th in highly accurate throw rate. He is expected to come back to Earth this week as a middling QB2. In their last five games, Kansas City has allowed the 14th-lowest yards per attempt, second-lowest passing TD rate, and tenth-lowest passing success rate.
