Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) said he will be back to training in four to six weeks after a quick surgery on a simple bone break in his right ankle that he suffered in the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills, according to Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. The Broncos really missed Nix in their 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship. Nix won't end up missing any time in the offseason, though, so he should be fully healed in time for organized team activities this spring. In his second full season in the NFL, the 25-year-old Oregon product completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 17 starts. Nix led the league with 612 pass attempts and also seven game-winning drives. He added 356 rushing yards and five scores on 83 rushing attempts. Nix was the overall QB7 for fantasy managers and will be in play as a midrange QB1 target in 2026 as he heads into his third NFL season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for 12 weeks as he recovers from surgery on his broken ankle, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Nix suffered the injury during last week's Divisional Round win overthe Buffalo Bills and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs. The second-year signal-caller finished the regular season with a 63.4% completion rate, 3,931 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He also rushed for 356 yards and an additional five scores. Nix didn't take a very big leap during his second season in the league, but that was partly because he already had such an impressive rookie year. While he won't be available for the AFC Championship against the Patriots or the Super Bowl, should Denver qualify, Nix will be healthy and ready for training camp. In the meantime, Jarett Stidham will step up as the Broncos' starter.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that surgery "went well" for quarterback Bo Nix (ankle), according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. Nix had surgery for a broken bone in his right ankle that he suffered at the tail end of Saturday's overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. The 25-year-old had one of his best games of the season, too, going 26-for-46 for 279 passing yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. The Broncos haven't given a timetable for Nix's recovery, but we'd be surprised if he wasn't ready to go for the start of the 2026 campaign, where he'll easily be a top-12 fantasy QB. With Nix out for the AFC Championship this weekend against the visiting New England Patriots, the Broncos will go with backup Jarrett Stidham, who hasn't started a game in the NFL since 2023.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) suffered a broken bone in his ankle during Saturday's Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Sean Payton. Nix has been ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs. This is shocking news out of Denver, as Nix's injury wasn't immediately evident during the Broncos' overtime win. Payton said that the second-year quarterback suffered the injury on the second-to-last play of the game, finishing the contest with a 56.5% completion rate, 279 passing yards, 29 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. This is a crushing loss for the Broncos, who can credit Nix as one of the main reasons why they finished with the best record in the AFC and advanced to the conference title game. His absence will force the Broncos to start Jarrett Stidham next Sunday against either the Patriots or Texans. Stidham's last NFL pass attempt came in 2023, when he threw for 272 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a loss to the Raiders. The short-term implications of Nix's broken bone are massive. From a long-term perspective, though, he should make a full recovery in time for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix set a new career high with 3,931 passing yards in his second year as the Broncos' full-time starting QB, but he had four fewer touchdown passes in the same number of games (17). The 25-year-old ran for fewer yards (356), too, while scoring one more TD (five). Nix heads into the playoffs after a first-round bye in the Wild-Card round to face the Buffalo Bills, and he does so with little momentum after two vanilla performances to close out the regular season in wins over the Chiefs and Chargers, in which he didn't go over 182 passing yards with one total touchdown. The Oregon product had back-to-back 300-yard games before that, though, and Denver will most likely be forced to open up their offense on Saturday. Nix finished as the QB7 in overall fantasy points in 2025, but he'll be on the lower end of QB options in playoff formats against a Bills defense that allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers during 17 regular-season games.

Across 17 games in 2025, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The 25-year-old also provided value with his legs, rushing for 356 yards and five touchdowns on 83 attempts. However, Nix closed the regular season with two of his least impressive passing performances of the year. Across two games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers, Nix threw for just 323 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Nix was also not particularly efficient throughout the season, averaging 6.4 yards per pass on an NFL-leading 612 attempts. The Broncos have a bye through the first round of the AFC playoffs, so Nix's first postseason opponent is not yet known. However, his poor close to the regular season and season-long inefficiency as a passer could make him tough for fantasy managers in playoff leagues to trust.
Jan 9, 2026 3:24 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had another clutch showing in their 20-13 win against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Nix had a mediocre day through the air, completing 26 of 38 pass attempts for 182 yards with one touchdown and one interception, but elevated his overall fantasy day with a new season high in rushes, taking nine carries for 42 yards and a touchdown. Before the second half, Nix had no touchdowns and one interception. The Broncos have now won 12 of their last 13 games, and only three of those games were decided by more than one score. In Week 18, the Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers to end the regular season.
Dec 26, 2025 3:12 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix travels to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas in Week 17. Last time Nix faced the Chiefs in Week 11, he put up 295 passing yards with no touchdowns, no interceptions, and added three carries for eight yards. This time around, Nix will be facing a very different Chiefs team that has been riddled with injuries and is coming off a 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 16, in which rookie quarterback Cam Ward had a season-high pass completion percentage of 75%. Despite facing what is statistically considered a top-five defense in the NFL since the Chiefs are giving up the fourth fewest points per game on average at 19.6, Nix should be able to carry his passing momentum from Week 16 into this matchup. RotoBaller ranks Nix as the QB11 overall for Week 17 matchups.
Dec 24, 2025 3:24 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix put up a new career high in passing yards with 352 in the 34-20 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. In a matchup where it was expected that the passing game would be relied upon, Nix did all he could to give the Broncos a prime opportunity to extend their win streak to 12 straight. Nix completed 28 of 47 pass attempts for 352 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and added 11 rushing yards on four carries. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton was the favorite in targets with 12, and did have one critical drop that could've been a second touchdown for Nix. While the fantasy numbers were mediocre for a semifinal matchup, Nix should find himself in a bounce-back spot against the defeated Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17.
Dec 22, 2025 12:17 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will look to stay hot as they will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. After lighting up the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 with 302 passing yards and four passing touchdowns, Nix should theoretically have an easier time moving the offense down the field against a defense ranking 20th overall in average passing yards allowed per game at 222.2. Nix will also get rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant back into the lineup for Week 16, which could lead to even more open options to choose from throughout the day. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Nix as RotoBaller's QB11 overall for Week 16 rankings.
Dec 20, 2025 2:14 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led his team to an 11th straight win on the season in the Week 15 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers, defeating them 34-26. Despite playing against a difficult defense, Nix showed up for what was one of his best games of the season, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 302 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 10 yards rushing on seven carries. This is precisely what fantasy managers were hoping for in the first round of the playoffs from Nix, who had been struggling to reach QB1 output since Week 8. Getting hot at the right time, Nix will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 16.
Dec 14, 2025 10:02 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 for the first round of fantasy playoffs. The Packers enter Week 15 as the fifth-best defense in the NFL, averaging just 287.2 yards per game. It's been tough sledding for the Broncos this year in defensive matchups, and with Nix scoring just two touchdowns through the air along with three interceptions in the past four games, it will be hard to have faith that Nix will match some of the best quarterbacks in playoff matchups. While Nix has been a solid quarterback for the Broncos and is looking to lead them to their 11th straight win, Nix is RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 2:39 PM EST
After back-to-back productive games, rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant is earning praise from his quarterback, Bo Nix. Nix said that Bryant is "an every-down receiver and is getting better and better each week." In the last two games, Bryant has made eight catches on 13 targets for 124 yards, playing a 58% and 70% snap share in those games. The third-round pick from Illinois is becoming a top target for Nix, and he played the second-most snaps of any receiver for the Broncos after their bye week. Bryant and the Broncos face an easy matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Bryant is not yet a regular starter, with high praise from his quarterback and a growing role, the rookie receiver is a name to watch this week.
Dec 3, 2025 8:13 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a rough outing against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, in Thursday's 10-7 win. Nix would end the night completing 16 of 28 pass attempts for only 150 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding five rushes for negative two yards. It was a rough showing for the passing offense as a whole, and the offense often drew boos as it stalled throughout the night. Notably, rough winds were swirling through the stadium throughout the night, but Nix still put up a disappointing performance for those who started him this week. Nix will look to bounce back against division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 11.
Nov 7, 2025 12:02 AM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Las Vegas Raiders at home in Week 10 as he looks to carry the team to a seventh straight win. Through nine weeks, the Raiders have allowed an average of 224 passing yards per game this season and 11 passing touchdowns. Nix has had some fourth-quarter magic this season, as he has made some magnificent scrambles to bolster his stats in the final minutes of the game, and we could see that trend continue if the division rivalry proves to be a close matchup. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Nix in their starting lineups with RotoBaller ranking him as QB8 overall for Week 10.
Nov 5, 2025 7:31 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix enters Week 8 as RotoBaller's sixth overall-ranked quarterback in a plus matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at home. The Cowboys' defense has been abysmal this season, allowing the most passing yards per game (288.0) of any team so far in 2025. Nix should be able to exploit the Cowboys through the air as he pleases, as the Cowboys have allowed a total of 16 passing touchdowns so far on the season. Nix should be easily inserted in lineups this week as a QB1 after erupting last week for a new career high in fantasy points scored.
Oct 24, 2025 11:41 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix could be primed for more fantasy success following his best game of the season in a Week 7 comeback against the New York Giants. The sophomore QB led the way in a wild fourth quarter that began with Denver trailing 19-0 and ended with the Broncos kicking a field goal as time expired to win 33-32. Along the way, Nix showed his best self: 279 yards passing, 48 yards rushing on just five carries, and four total touchdowns. He's rushed for at least 20 yards in five of seven weeks and has just one interception in his past 186 attempts, and now ranks as the No. 6 overall fantasy QB. Even better for Nix, his next game is against the Dallas Cowboys, who have surrendered more points to fantasy quarterbacks than any other team so far this season.
Oct 23, 2025 9:25 AM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 27 of his 50 pass attempts for 279 yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Giants. He also added 49 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Broncos couldn't get anything going for most of this game as they were held scoreless through three quarters. However, fueled by Nix's four scores, the Broncos marched back in the fourth quarter, scored 33 points, and pulled off an improbable 33-32 win at the buzzer. Nix ultimately had his best fantasy performance of the season, moving into low-end QB1 territory going forward. He should be started in most leagues ahead of a potential Week 8 shootout against the Dallas Cowboys.
Oct 19, 2025 8:06 PM EST
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos held on for a 13-11 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday in London. The second-year quarterback also added 24 rushing yards on five carries in a game thoroughly dominated by defense. Nix's overall numbers weren't remarkable, but he also didn't commit a turnover as the Denver defense held New York to just 82 total yards and recorded nine sacks. The Broncos have a favorable schedule coming up, with Nix set to take on a Dallas Cowboys defense currently ranked 32nd in net yards per attempt in Week 7.
Oct 12, 2025 1:19 PM EST
Denver Broncos Quarterback Bo Nix had a solid outing in which he faced the undefeated reigning Super Bowl Champion Eagles on Sunday. While he ended the day with the win after showing impressive game management to close the comeback window on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and company, he completed 61.5% of passes for 242 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 22 yards on three attempts in Sunday's 21-17 win. There was quite a bit of duress in the pocket as Nix was sacked twice, but he showed good poise in clutch moments down the stretch. This should inject confidence in him as he will face the New York Jets in Week 6, who just gave up four touchdowns through the air to the Dallas Cowboys.
