Who Should I Start? Gardner Minshew or Bo Nix

Saturday, August 16, 2:10 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew completed seven of nine passes (78%) for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 16-33 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Minshew found Robert Tonyan in the back of the endzone on a rollout for an easy score. It was a nice sign to see for Chiefs fans, knowing they have a capable backup behind Patrick Mahomes. That said, Minshew will not have any fantasy value this season unless Mahomes gets injured.

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.
