Bo Nix Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Sun, May 24th 2026, 4:52pm EDT

Bo Nix is something of a fantasy football Rorschach test. The good: Nix has finished QB7 in fantasy scoring in each of his first two NFL seasons; he provides value as a runner, with 786 rushing yards and nine TD runs in 34 regular-season starts; Broncos head coach Sean Payton is regarded as one of the NFL's better playcallers; and an offseason trade for Jaylen Waddle gives Nix a very good group of pass catchers. The bad: Nix hasn't fared quite as well in fantasy points per game, ranking QB9 in 2024 and QB11 in 2025; he led the league in pass attempts last season yet still fell short of 4,000 passing yards; and he averaged an unimpressive 6.4 yards per pass attempt last season. Nix offers a relatively safe floor but might have a limited ceiling. Consider him a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2.
