Expert
Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros	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.
Derek Brown FantasyPros	Last year, Bo Nix regressed as a passer, and with his overall production, and his still was the QB11 in fantasy points per game. Nix saw his passing touchdown rate fall from 5.1% to 4.1%, and his rushing yards per game dip from 25.3 to 20.9 (16th). Nix still directed a passing offense that was fifth in neutral passing rate and tenth in neutral pace. I don't see either of those figures changing in 2026. With the addition of Jaylen Waddle, Denver could be even more pass-happy this season, too. Among 38 qualifying passers, he was 31st in yards per attempt, 18th in highly accurate throw rate, 19th in hero throw rate, and 22nd in fantasy points per dropback (per Fantasy Points Data). If Nix can bounce back or take another positive step in his career, he could be a top 5-7 quarterback in fantasy in 2026.
