PositiveValueJul 23, 2026
Nix should not be going as QB13 given his recent production. Only he and Josh Allen have had back-to-back 300-point fantasy seasons over the last two years (four points per passing TD); in both years, he finished as QB7. Despite this, he is now going six spots later. This would make sense if the team lost their top target, but instead they did the opposite. The addition of Jaylen Waddle should be massive for this pass attack. As long as Nix is fully healthy at the start of the season (which is expected), he might as well be penciled in for another QB7 season.

Nix has genuine dual-threat upside with 132.6 fantasy points from rushing over his first two NFL seasons, ranking fifth among all quarterbacks behind only Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson. On a per-game basis, his 3.9 rushing points per game is solid and comparable to players like Brock Purdy, Daniel Jones and Drake Maye. The addition of Jaylen Waddle as an immediate top-tier receiving weapon, combined with Courtland Sutton and young playmakers like Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and RJ Harvey, gives Nix the best offensive arsenal of his young career.
PositiveValueJul 22, 2026
Nix is being drafted as QB15 despite a fantasy resume over his first two NFL seasons that is more impressive than either Mahomes' or Love's recent output. He has finished as exactly QB7 in each of his first two seasons in the NFL. Mike Clay's preseason projections have Nix as the fantasy QB8, behind only the elite dual-threat quarterbacks (Allen, Hurts, Daniels, Jackson), Burrow, Maye, and Jaxson Dart. His combination of solid passing efficiency and non-negligible rushing production (3.9 rushing points per game) gives him a very safe floor with a path to top-five production.

Nix is available as QB16 at ADP 110.4 despite finishing as QB9 and QB11 in fantasy points per game over his two NFL seasons. The source calls him a 'slam-dunk pick' as a QB2. While Denver's impressive defense may cap his ceiling compared to weaker defenses like Cincinnati's, Nix has already proven he can produce at a higher level than his ADP suggests. He now has the best pass-catching group of his career with the addition of Jaylen Waddle, who earned rave reviews during minicamp and can play all across the formation. The only weakness is tight end depth with Evan Engram and rookie Justin Joly.
