Fantasy Football Player Notes

During his final collegiate season, Nix was the on-paper model of efficiency, ranking top five in passing grade, adjusted completion rate, and yards per attempt. He was similarly efficient in the preseason. Among 53 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranked fifth in passing grade, eighth in adjusted completion rate, and 11th in yards per attempt. Nix is a fine QB2 this week, facing a pass defense that kept quarterbacks in check last year, allowing the 11th-lowest CPOE, the 10th-fewest passing touchdowns, and sitting at 15th in fantasy points per game.
