Bo Nix Takes Part in Seven-on-Seven Drills at Mandatory Minicamp

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) took part in seven-on-seven drills during the team's second mandatory minicamp practice on Wednesday, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. On his first throw of the day, Nix hit second-year running back RJ Harvey for a touchdown during a red-zone drill with a well-placed ball. Nix is recovering from offseason surgery for a fractured ankle that he suffered in the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills in January, and he had a follow-up procedure in April. Head coach Sean Payton has said that Nix is expected to be a "full-go" for training camp at the end of July, which means that, barring a setback, the former University of Oregon product should be ready for a Week 1 Monday night showdown against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old has been a top-10 fantasy QB in each of his first two years in the NFL, but in what should be a more balanced offense under Payton in 2026, and coming off ankle surgery, fantasy managers are better off targeting the third-year signal-caller as a high-end QB2 with upside in drafts later this year.

Bo Nix on Track for a Training Camp Return

After fracturing his ankle in a divisional round playoff win over the Bills, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix attended his first full practice of the offseason during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session, and he later told reporters that he is on track for a training camp return. Nix fractured the ankle in a game-winning overtime drive and had surgery two days later. Experiencing pain from bone spurs, he underwent a clean-up procedure in April, and Tuesday's practice marked the most on-field work he has done since the injury, throwing in individual drills while remaining sidelined for team activities. Nix expressed a belief that he could have participated in full if given the green light, and head coach Sean Payton said, "he'll clearly be ready in time for training camp." Through his first two seasons in the league, Nix has added 3.9 fantasy points per game with his legs, and at RotoBaller's QB15, he has become a value in the later rounds of 2026 drafts, assuming no dip in rushing production.

Bo Nix to be "Full-Go" for Training Camp

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will be "full-go" when training camp opens in late July, head coach Sean Payton told Jeff Legwold of ESPN. Nix fractured his right ankle in the closing minutes of the team's Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills back in January and required surgery. He had a second surgical procedure in April, but he has resumed throwing in limited drills before OTA practices in the last two weeks. The former first-rounder out of the University of Oregon is expected to participate in team drills for the first time during mandatory minicamp this week. Barring a setback this week and once training camp kicks off this summer, the 26-year-old should be ready to roll for a Week 1 showdown on Monday Night Football against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in early September. It's unknown if Nix's mobility will be negatively affected by his ankle injury, but with questionable arm strength to boot, fantasy managers would be wise to target him as more of a high-end QB2 this year than a legitimate QB1 as he enters his third year in the league. Nix has been a top-10 fantasy QB in each of his first two years in the NFL, but he took a slight step back statistically in 2025, despite leading the league with 612 pass attempts. In 17 regular-season starts last season, Nix had 3,931 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, adding 356 rushing yards and nine rushing scores on 82 carries.

Bo Nix Expected to Practice Next Week

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) is expected to practice next week at mandatory minicamp, head coach Sean Payton told Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Nix did a walkthrough before Thursday's practice, which is an encouraging sign for his availability next week. The 26-year-old fractured his right ankle at the end of the team's Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills and had surgery in late January. Nix also had a cleanup procedure on his ankle in late April, but he's trending in the right direction to participate in minicamp next week and for the start of training camp at the end of July. For what it's worth, Payton thinks that Nix will be "completely clean, mobility-wise" once he returns to the field in preparation for his third year in the NFL. The former 12th overall pick out of the University of Oregon in 2024 has thrown for 7,706 yards, 54 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions in 34 regular-season games in his first two years in the league, adding 786 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. Nix has been a top-10 fantasy QB in each of his first two seasons, but coming off ankle surgery, there is some concern he won't be as effective as a runner, especially with Payton looking to make the offense more balanced. Nix's dual-threat abilities give him RB1 upside, but in fantasy drafts, managers should target him as more of a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 in 2026.

Bo Nix Expected to Have More of a Role in Minicamp

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) has been throwing, and he's expected to have more of a role in practice later in June during mandatory minicamp, according to Luca Evans of The Denver Post. Evans observed Nix moving around before practice on Thursday and didn't see any kind of bulky-looking brace on his surgically-repaired right ankle. The Broncos aren't rushing the 26-year-old signal-caller along this offseason after he needed surgery to fix a fractured ankle that he suffered in the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills. He might not be a full-go in minicamp, but there's no reason to believe that Nix will be limited once training camp rolls around in late July. The former 12th overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Oregon finished as the QB7 in fantasy in 2025 in his second year in the NFL, throwing for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions on a league-high 612 pass attempts over 17 regular-season starts. Nix added 356 rushing yards and another five scores as a rusher. He has helped turn the Broncos franchise around, but with average arm strength and while coming off ankle surgery, fantasy managers have every right to be skeptical about him as a legitimate QB1 in Year 3. RotoBaller has Nix ranked as the No. 15 quarterback in redraft leagues in 2026.

Is Bo Nix Currently Undervalued in Dynasty Formats?

Across 17 games in 2025, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) threw for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns while rushing for 356 yards and five scores. The 26-year-old's season ended in disappointing fashion when he suffered a broken bone in his ankle in the AFC Divisional Round, but he's expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026. While Nix hasn't been particularly efficient (6.5 yards per pass attempt) to this point in his career, he's averaged nearly 35 pass attempts per game across his two seasons playing for Broncos head coach Sean Payton. In 2026, Nix's high-volume approach could get an efficiency boost from the presence of new star wideout Jaylen Waddle, whom the Broncos acquired from the Miami Dolphins over the offseason. If Nix can take even a small step as a passer while maintaining his solid contributions with his legs, he could be poised for a breakthrough into mid-tier fantasy QB1 territory in 2026 and beyond.

Bo Nix Undergoes Cleanup Procedure on his Ankle

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) had a successful and anticipated follow-up clean-up procedure on his ankle during his scheduled re-check with Dr. Norman Waldrop last week, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Broncos are expected to be conservative with Nix's participation during the offseason program, but the third-year signal-caller "continues to make strong progress" in his recovery and is firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July. The 26-year-old should then be ready to roll for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in early September, barring a setback with his surgically repaired ankle in camp. The Broncos would like to see Nix start developing chemistry with new receiver Jaylen Waddle as quickly as possible, but they aren't going to rush anything. In his second NFL season in 2025, Nix nearly led the Broncos to the Super Bowl before fracturing his ankle late in the Divisional Round win over the Bills. He was a top-10 fantasy QB as well, throwing for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions while adding 356 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground in 17 regular-season games. Nix has some injury risk because of his ankle, but if fully healthy in head coach Sean Payton's offense, he should at least be considered a low-end QB1 in fantasy leagues.

Bo Nix's Dynasty Value in Question Coming Off Injury?

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) had his 2025 season come to an unfortunate end when he suffered a fractured ankle during his team's AFC Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills. However, Nix is expected to be fully ready to go for the start of the 2026 season. Across 17 games in 2025, the 26-year-old completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Nix also rushed for 356 yards and five touchdowns on 83 attempts. While Nix hasn't been particularly efficient (6.5 yards per pass attempt) through the first two years of his NFL career, the Broncos high-volume pass game and Nix's ability to impact the game with his legs allow him to maintain fantasy upside. If the return from ankle injury prevents Nix from being effective as a scrambler, his fantasy production could suffer. Nix's dynasty value is trending slightly downward as he enters his third season in the NFL.

Bo Nix "Ahead of Schedule" in Recovery from Ankle Surgery

Denver Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner said that quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) is "ahead of schedule" and "doing very well" in his recovery from ankle surgery, per Zac Stevens of DNVR. Nix suffered a fractured ankle in Denver's AFC Divisional round win over the Buffalo Bills that ended his 2025 postseason run prematurely. However, it sounds as though the 26-year-old is on track to be a full participant with the team throughout the summer. Across 17 games in 2025, Nix completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His ability to impact games with his legs is a big part of his fantasy appeal, as he's rushed for 786 yards and nine touchdowns on 175 attempts through his first two NFL seasons. Nix also got some additional pass-catching help this offseason when Denver traded for former Miami Dolphins wideout Jaylen Waddle. As long as he continues to progress well with his recovery, Nix profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 heading into 2026.

Bo Nix Sees His Ceiling Rise Following Blockbuster Trade

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix targeted six different players at least 45 times in 2025, all of whom are still on the roster, and with the team's recent acquisition of Jaylen Waddle from the Dolphins, he will add one more weapon in 2026. Waddle joins a receiver room with Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr., and Pat Bryant, giving the third-year signal-caller one of the more versatile groups of pass-catchers in the league, before even factoring in tight end Evan Engram or running back RJ Harvey. With Denver adding an explosive playmaker like Waddle to practically the exact offense that Nix led to the AFC Championship game in his second year as a starter, the pieces are in place for him to take a massive leap forward in Year 3.

Bo Nix Still Trending Up Despite Injury

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) put together another strong season in 2025, and he continues to trend upward despite entering the offseason with a broken ankle. In his second pro season, Nix threw for 3,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He also added 356 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. As a result, he finished as the overall QB7 for the second year in a row. The former first-round pick's production was a little inconsistent at times, as he certainly had some boom or bust games, but he played well enough to satisfy his fantasy managers and keep them in the hunt for the fantasy playoffs. He also kept his Broncos in the playoff hunt, locking up the No. 1 seed and taking down the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. However, Nix broke his ankle near the end of the Bills game, sidelining him for the Broncos' eventual loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship. Nix should be fully recovered in time for the 2026 season, and his supporting cast will arguably be stronger than ever with Courtland Sutton returning and Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant both having another year under their belts. Plus, running back RJ Harvey is expected to take a major step forward, further improving the overall state of the offense. All signs point to Nix finishing as QB7 or higher again in 2026.

Bo Nix Expected to Resume Training in 4-6 Weeks

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.

Bo Nix Sidelined for 12 Weeks with Broken Ankle

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.

Bo Nix has Successful Ankle Surgery

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.

Bo Nix Suffers Broken Bone in Ankle, Done for Playoffs

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.

Can Bo Nix Do Enough to Beat Bills in Divisional Round?

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.

Bo Nix Struggling with Passing Efficiency Entering the Playoffs

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.

Bo Nix Posts Another Clutch Performance in 20-13 Win

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.

Bo Nix Aims to Capitalize Against Injury-Riddled Chiefs

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.

Bo Nix Sets New Career High in Passing Yards in Loss Against Jaguars

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.
