Who Should I Start? Nate Sudfeld or Bo Nix

Wednesday, August 20, 10:58 AM

The San Francisco 49ers have signed journeyman quarterback Nate Sudfeld to a one-year deal, with the terms of the deal undisclosed. Sudfeld was originally a 6th-round draft pick of the Washington Commanders in 2016 and has seen stops with the Eagles, 49ers, and Lions. Sudfeld was with the 49ers in 2021 when he beat out Brock Purdy for the No. 3 quarterback spot, but he has yet to start a game in his seven-year NFL career. His last appearance in a game was in 2022 with Detroit. With the 49ers moving running back Patrick Taylor Jr. to season-ending IR on Wednesday, they had a roster spot to fill, but Sudfeld sits fifth on the team's quarterback depth chart and is unlikely to make the team's 53-man roster.

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.
