Despite the Denver Broncos' Week 16 Thursday night loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a solid showing for his fantasy managers by going 29-for-40 for 263 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Nix was sacked twice for a loss of 18 yards and ran the ball three times for 25 yards in the 34-27 defeat. He fumbled once, but the Broncos were able to recover. Most importantly, the first-rounder out of Oregon avoided turnovers after tossing five interceptions the last two games. The 24-year-old looked really good in the first half against a strong defense, with both of his touchdown passes coming in the first two quarters, but he struggled in the second half and the vaunted Denver D was unable to hold a two-score lead. Nix has 250-plus passing yards in four of his last five games and will have clear QB1 upside in a great matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals next week.

It's probably tempting for fantasy managers to start Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix in Week 16 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers after Tampa QB Baker Mayfield lit them up for four touchdowns in a blowout win last week. However, you may want to think twice. Nix has exceeded expectations in his first year with the Broncos and is the QB10 in overall fantasy points despite a slow start in 2024. But the 12th overall pick out of Oregon has thrown four touchdowns and five interceptions in the last two games while completing only 55.88% of his passes for 424 yards. The Chargers defense has been middle of the pack in fantasy points allowed to QBs on the year, but they are also tied with Denver for the fewest points allowed per game (17.6). On paper, this divisional battle figures to be a low-scoring affair, potentially limiting Nix's fantasy upside. He went 19-for-33 for 216 yards, two touchdowns and a pick in the Week 6 loss to LA.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix led his fantasy managers on a roller-coaster ride on Sunday in the 31-13 Week 15 win over the visiting Indianapolis Colts. Nix went 20-for-33 passing for 130 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. The first-rounder also had eight carries for a team-high 23 rushing yards and was sacked once for a loss of nine yards. After a recent stretch of strong performances that vaulted into low-end QB1 territory, the Oregon product looked more like his shaky, inexperienced self early in the season. Nix now has five touchdowns and four touchdowns in the last two games. Sunday's performance was his first time under 200 yards passing in a game since the Week 7 win over the Saints. The win was a big one for Denver, but the young signal-caller will have to turn the page quickly heading into a tough Week 16 divisional matchup on a short turnaround on Thursday against LA.
Dec 16, 2024 12:18 AM EST
Going into a Week 15 game with all kinds of playoff implications this Sunday in Denver against the visiting Indianapolis Colts, Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix will maintain low-end QB1 appeal in the first round of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. The 24-year-old 12th overall pick out of Oregon ranks as the No. 15 QB in overall fantasy points through 14 weeks in his first NFL season, and he's also been the QB15 in the last five games, throwing for 1,089 yards on 140 pass attempts with nine touchdowns and only two interceptions. The young signal-caller did throw two picks in last week's thrilling win over the Cleveland Browns -- his first two INTs since throwing one in Week 9 -- but he fell just shy of 300 yards passing and has at least 273 passing yards in the last three games. Nix has plenty of upside against a Colts defense that has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to QBs per game in 2024.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix led his team to their eighth win of the season in a 41-32 shootout win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday night in Week 13. There wasn't much in the way of defense in this one on either side, with Nix getting out-gunned by Jameis Winston, who threw for nearly 500 yards on the night. The 24-year-old Nix avoided sacks and finished just shy of 300 yards passing for the second time in three weeks, but he also threw two interceptions, with the first being a tipped ball that caromed high into the air, and the second one being an aggressive deep shot down the field in which he overthrew his receiver. The picks were his first since Week 9 against Baltimore, and his TD pass was a 93-yard strike to receiver Marvin Mims Jr. that was a perfect pass in a tight window. Nix has entered the low-end QB1 picture with strong performances of late and will get the Colts in Week 15 after a bye.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (back) popped up on the team's Week 13 injury report with a back injury but practiced in full on Friday and Saturday and was cleared to play for Monday night's game against the visiting Cleveland Browns. Nix has put up at least 20 fantasy points in four of his last five games, including two 30-plus-point performances for fantasy managers. The Browns defense is by no means the greatest matchup for a signal-caller but they've been vulnerable of late and have allowed three touchdowns to wideouts in the last two contests. The 24-year-old first-rounder out of Oregon got off to an ice-cold start in his first few NFL games, but he's quickly settled into head coach Sean Payton's offense and continues to consistently make plays with his arm and legs while limiting turnovers. Nix's arrow is pointing up, and he'll have QB1 upside yet again in Denver on Monday night.
Nov 30, 2024 9:05 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (back) logged a full practice session on Friday, which puts him on track to start on Monday evening against the Cleveland Browns. Nix was a limited participant on Thursday, but seeing him already return to full participation suggests this injury was quite minor. However, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend in case he faces a setback. Since Week 8, the Oregon product has begun to turn the corner in his rookie season, averaging 260.4 passing yards in each game and holding an 11:1 TD:INT ratio in this span. Fantasy managers should view Nix as a solid QB1 in all formats on Monday despite facing a tough Cleveland defense that has allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs this season.
Nov 29, 2024 5:39 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (back) was a limited participant during practice on Thursday. The rookie sensation has played in all 12 games so far this season, completing 64.9 percent of his passes for 2,548 yards, 16 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He also has 300 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns, and zero lost fumbles. Nix has ranked as the overall QB10 in fantasy football so far, establishing himself as a dependable option in most leagues. This week against the Cleveland Browns, assuming he's removed from the injury report and cleared to play, Nix will rank as a mid-to-low fantasy QB1.
Nov 28, 2024 2:45 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix delivered yet again for his fantasy managers in a strong matchup on the road in Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in the team's 29-19 victory. Nix went 25-for-42 passing -- his most pass attempts since Week 1 -- for 273 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He added just one carry for a gain of five yards and was sacked once for an 11-yard loss. The 24-year-old first-rounder wasn't quite as good as he was in last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons when he tossed four TDs, but fantasy managers aren't really complaining as the Oregon product continues to improve. Nix seems to be improving on a weekly basis and is avoiding turnovers, throwing 11 touchdowns with only one interception in the last five weeks. He is becoming a weekly QB1 option in fantasy, although he will face a challenge against a spirited Browns pass rush in Week 13.
Nov 24, 2024 11:56 PM EST
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler likes Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix to have another big day for his fantasy managers in the Week 12 divisional matchup against a depleted Las Vegas Raiders defense. Nix has become the first rookie QB since Justin Herbert with multiple games with at least a 75 percent completion percentage and at least three touchdown passes. The 24-year-old from Oregon had the best game of his career in the Week 11 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, throwing for 307 yards and four touchdowns. He was already trending up in fantasy heading into last week's game, but after that performance, he should be rostered in pretty much all fantasy leagues. Vegas' D has been a top-10 fantasy matchup for QBs all year and they've given up the most fantasy points to the position in the last three weeks. Nix is a firm QB1 as Denver looks to sweep their division rivals in 2024.
Nov 20, 2024 10:32 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had the best game of his young career and delivered for fantasy managers in the 38-6 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Week 11, going 28-for-33 for a season-best 307 passing yards and a season-best four touchdown passes. Nix was sacked only once for a loss of 12 yards and ran the ball twice for five yards. The first-rounder out of Oregon showed further development and took advantage of a soft secondary to put up one of the best fantasy performances by a QB in Week 11. He continued to spread the ball around nicely, with his TD passes coming to three different receivers and a tight end. The 24-year-old has tied the franchise record for TD passes for a rookie (14) and is quickly ascending as a fantasy asset, even in single-QB leagues. Nix will have more QB1 upside in Week 12 versus the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.
Nov 18, 2024 12:14 AM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix has a nice matchup on his hands in Week 11 on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Nix has come a long way since a slow start to his NFL career and is averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game through the first 10 weeks, which ranks 15th at the position, right behind Patrick Mahomes. Not only has the Oregon product improved as a passer as the year has gone on, but he also ranks fifth among QBs with 290 rushing yards and four TDs. The Falcons defense, meanwhile is vulnerable, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to QBs, including 17 touchdowns with seven interceptions in 10 games. They've allowed 223.4 passing yards per game, which is ninth-most in the NFL. Since Week 4, Nix has thrown 10 touchdown passes with only two picks. There's real QB1 upside for Nix this weekend.
Nov 15, 2024 11:18 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix nearly gave the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season but came up just short in a 16-14 loss on the road, completing 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 215 yards for two touchdowns and no interceptions. Nix was sacked two times for a loss of 33 yards and also had his worst rushing performance of the year, taking off three time for minus-five yards. He fumbled once but was able to recover. The 24-year-old held his own against a strong defense in a hostile environment and was able to avoid turnovers, but he just didn't do enough and was unable to lead Denver to any points in the second half. In the last five games, Nix has seven TDs and only two picks and continues to improve as a passer. He'll be a solid QB2 option in two-QB fantasy leagues for a Week 11 home date against the Atlanta Falcons.
Nov 11, 2024 12:04 AM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw for a season-high 284 yards and three touchdowns in the Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers before coming back down to Earth in the Week 9 blowout loss on the road to the Baltimore Ravens, when he threw for 223 yards, no touchdowns and his first interception since Week 6. While Nix has looked much better in recent weeks than he did at the start of his rookie campaign, things won't get any easier in Week 10 on the road against the undefeated and division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. KC's defense has allowed just over 200 passing yards per game in nine games in 2024 and have been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. Nix actually checks in as the QB11 in overall fantasy points entering Week 10, but he should be considered more of a low-end QB2 on the road against the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Nov 8, 2024 8:13 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix went 19-for-33 passing for 223 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in the 41-10 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens on the road in Week 9 on Sunday. Nix added six carries for 36 yards on the ground and added his first career receiving touchdown on a two-yard grab on a trick play at the goal line from receiver Courtland Sutton. The 24-year-old's pick was his sixth of the year but just his first since Week 6 and the second in his last seven games. His lone interception came on the team's first possession of the game and was a pass that should have been caught. Nix was still useful in fantasy because of his legs and his receiving score, but this was a disappointing showing against a defense that had struggled against the pass in 2024. The ups and downs will continue for the rookie, and it won't get any easier in Week 10 on the road against the Chiefs.
Nov 3, 2024 11:46 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix heads into a Week 9 showdown on the road against the Baltimore Ravens after throwing for a season-high 284 yards and three touchdowns to take advantage of a cushy matchup versus the Carolina Panthers. Facing the Ravens on the road surely won't be an easy task, but Nix does line up for another plus matchup from a fantasy perspective, as Baltimore's struggling defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points to QBs in 2024 and the most passing yards per game (291.4). Nix and Denver's offense started the year off very slow and inconsistent, but they've found their footing as Nix continues to show improvement in his first year. The 24-year-old from Oregon is suddenly the QB10 in overall fantasy scoring after eight weeks and has thrown just one interception in the last six weeks after throwing four in his first two games in the league.
Nov 2, 2024 3:34 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 28-of-37 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Carolina Panthers. He added four yards and an additional touchdown on five carries. It was another clean game from the first-round rookie, throwing just one interception in his last six outings after four through the first two weeks. His completions, passing yardage, and touchdown total are all career-highs. It's another impressive outing for the 24-year-old, who is quietly putting together a strong debut campaign. Nix will get a much more challenging task in Week 9 when he and Denver hit the road to line up against a tough Baltimore Ravens squad. However, Browns quarterback Jameis Winston did just torch Baltimore's D for 334 yards and three touchdowns in Week 8.
Oct 27, 2024 7:44 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix gets an intriguing matchup in Week 8 when his team lines up against the Carolina Panthers. The former Oregon Duck hasn't wowed with his stat lines this season, but he's done an excellent job keeping Denver in games. While he's only thrown five touchdown passes, the rookie's production on the ground has afforded him a higher fantasy floor (36.4 yards per game). This week, he'll face a Panthers defense that's allowed the most yards per pass play to their opponents (7.6 yards per attempt). Additionally, they've let up 14 touchdown passes to just three interceptions forced. The Broncos' game script may lean run-heavy -- as Carolina has also allowed the most rushing yards to opposing offenses -- but Nix is a strong start in superflex and 2QB formats and a fringe streaming option elsewhere. He's RotoBaller's QB17 in this week's rankings.
Oct 26, 2024 12:54 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix didn't score a touchdown and threw for only 164 yards on 16-for-26 passing, but he also ran the ball 10 times for a season-high 75 rushing yards in the 33-10 dismantling of the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football on the road. Nix looked a little nervous early on and missed several wide-open receivers, but he was able to settle in and lead the Broncos to 30-plus points for the second time in the last three weeks. Denver's lockdown defense played a big role in that, but the 24-year-old first-rounder showed more progress and now has avoided turnovers in four of his last five games. There will continue to be ups and downs as Nix navigates his rookie season in the NFL, while his rushing ability is the strongest part of his game currently. Heading into a favorable Week 8 matchup against the Panthers, Nix will be a low-end QB2 with upside in fantasy.
Oct 18, 2024 12:02 AM EST
Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix has an opportunity on Thursday night on the road at the Caesars Superdome to continue his positive momentum against the New Orleans Saints. Nix comes into the Week 7 contest as the QB21 in average fantasy points at his position, but he's shown notable progress in the last three weeks with 482 passing yards, five touchdowns and one interception after throwing for 600 yards, no TDs and four picks in his first four NFL games. The Saints defense has allowed 15.1 fantasy points per game to QBs (ninth-fewest), but they've also surrendered the fourth-most passing yards per game (262.2). By no means has Nix been great so far -- Denver's offense is averaging 18.7 points per game -- but he's shown flashes of his potential as the 12th overall pick and has a matchup to exploit this week. Fantasy managers should consider him a low-end QB2 in superflex formats.
