NegativeProjectionOct 30, 2026
Nix is a sit in Week 8 against Kansas City despite last week's 62-yard rushing touchdown. Without that score, he looks like the same below-average passer. Against Arizona, he pushed the ball downfield more but completed just 1-of-8 deep passes. He has been below-average at every depth of field this year except behind the line of scrimmage. Kansas City has smothered quarterback production, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing passers.NegativeProjectionOct 29, 2026
Nix is ranked QB23 in Week 8 rankings; he faces the Chiefs at home.NegativeProjectionOct 28, 2026
Nix attempted eight deep shots in Week 7 and connected on only one, despite posting an 11.3 aDOT (his highest of the year). He ranks 25th in completion rate on deep throws (31.8%) and 28th in YPA on deep throws (9.6). He's well outside the top 30 in both metrics on throws 10-19 yards downfield and not in the top 20 on throws 1-9 yards downfield. His only above-average area is behind the line of scrimmage.NegativeProjectionOct 22, 2026
Bo Nix is playing terribly enough that he's actually getting criticized on NFL post-game shows. His play has been a travesty for all of 2026, especially of late. If he does not spike a week versus a Cardinals defense coughing up 8.6 yards per pass, he will find himself functionally removed from the streamer mix.PositiveProjectionOct 19, 2026
Bo Nix is named to the Week 6 All Bank Examiner Squad, indicating strong fantasy performance in the most recent week.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Ranked QB21 in Week 6 vs. the Seahawks.NegativeProjectionOct 14, 2026
Nix is throwing to the middle of the field at an 18.5% rate (last in NFL) with 6.8 YPAE and .204 EPA per play, well below the NFL average of 28.6% throw rate, 8.1 YPAE, and .292 EPA per play. He is also worse than league average when throwing outside (6.8 YPAE, .191 EPA vs. 7.2 YPAE, .223 EPA), experiencing almost no efficiency gains when throwing middle compared to other teams.NegativeMatchupOct 13, 2026
Nix and the Broncos face the Seahawks on a short week; the Broncos are having all kinds of trouble running the ball, and if forced to be one-dimensional, Nix will face a consistently productive Seattle 'Dark Side' defense that recorded three sacks and three takeaways against San Francisco.NegativeMatchupOct 13, 2026
Nix faces the Seahawks on a short week in Denver. The Broncos are struggling to run the ball, which could force them into a one-dimensional passing attack. Seattle's defense has been consistently productive with three sacks and three takeaways last week against San Francisco.NegativeProjectionOct 12, 2026
Following Sean Payton's play-calling coup, Bo Nix remains barely a QB2 option in fantasy. The change in play-calling has not produced meaningful improvement in his fantasy output, and the Broncos' offense continues to struggle. Nix's QB2 status makes him an unattractive fantasy option.NegativeProjectionOct 8, 2026
Nix has not been good through Week 4 but also has not been bad enough to drop outside the top 20, indicating a floor-based ranking despite mediocre performance.NegativeProjectionOct 7, 2026
Nix has been abominable this season, ranking as the fifth most inaccurate passer in the NFL through four games and 29th in adjusted yards per attempt; this was terribly predictable if you paid attention to the spreadsheets in 2025.NegativeProjectionOct 5, 2026
Nix is struggling in the Broncos' poorly constructed offense. In Week 4, the Broncos managed just 30 passing yards on passes that went 10 or more yards past the line of scrimmage, with Nix posting a 2.99-second time to throw and unable to find receivers open beyond checkdowns. The source describes the Broncos as one of the NFL's ugliest offenses through four weeks and suggests the offense needs to go back to square one. Nix now offers only superflex QB2 value at best, falling short of the open offense that Jaylen Waddle's acquisition promised.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026
Bo Nix had his worst completion rate of the season against the Rams, and the Broncos are 24th in EPA per play on offense. Despite Denver's 30-26 win over the Rams, the underlying offensive process was shakier than the final score suggests.PositiveProjectionSep 28, 2026
Bo Nix posted 25 fantasy points despite 5.5 yards per attempt, a game-losing interception negated by penalty, and a 16-point comeback, demonstrating his ability to accumulate fantasy production through volume and resilience.NegativeMatchupSep 22, 2026
The Jaguars defense didn't record a sack against him in Week 2, but the source notes the Broncos have one of the best offensive lines in football, which explains the lack of pressure; the Jaguars remain a top-10 defense in pressure rate overall.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Bo Nix literally and figuratively crumpled under the pressure in Week 1 while breaking in both a new play-caller and No. 1 weapon; that pressure is not about to let up for Week 2 vs. a feisty Jags defense, and despite the Broncos being home favorites with a top-half implied team total, it feels like a good week to keep Nix out of the top 12 as the Broncos try to smooth out this revamped operation.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
Nix and the Broncos got a 'nasty wakeup call' against the Chiefs in Week 1, indicating a disappointing performance.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
Bo Nix made a bunch of bad decisions on Monday night against the Jaguars; the playcalling from Davis Webb was questionable at best, suggesting the Broncos offense did not look good.NegativeMatchupSep 15, 2026
Bo Nix was dropped (sacked) four times by the Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 1 as the Chiefs dominated the Denver Broncos 10-0; the Chiefs' strong defensive performance sets them up well against the Colts in Week 2.NegativeMatchupSep 9, 2026
Nix was a QB1 last season, but it was no thanks to his Chiefs matchups, where he totaled two touchdowns in two games. Vegas is wary of a defensive-minded showdown in Kansas City, and there will be better weeks to plant your Nix flag.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
Nix threw a touchdown on 4.1 percent of his attempts in 2025 and proved extraordinarily inefficient near the goal line, completing just 15 of 38 inside-the-ten attempts for nine touchdowns. However, he had a 5.1 percent TD rate in 2024 and should see good regression in 2026 in a Denver offense that ranked sixth in total team air yards last year. The source rates Nix as a superflex-only option in Week 1 against Kansas City.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
