Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Bo Nix

The Minnesota Vikings could make an offer to Indianapolis Colts impending free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) in free agency if the Colts use the transition tag on him, according to ESPN's Peter Schrager. If the Vikings pursue Jones in free agency, the Colts would have the right to match any offer. The transition tag would pay Jones $37.8 million in 2026, so the Vikings would have to offer him at least that much to make him consider leaving Indianapolis. The 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke looked great in 13 starts with the Colts in 2025 before tearing his Achilles in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts have made it clear they view Jones as their starter going forward if they can bring him back, but reuniting with Vikings head coach and QB whisperer Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota could be very attractive to Jones. Stay tuned.

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.
