Nix completed 24 of 37 passes for 295 yards without a touchdown or an interception in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City. He added eight rushing yards on three carries.
It was the first time all season Nix had failed to produce a TD, but his 295 passing yards were his highest total since Week 4, and the second-year QB came through when it mattered most, hitting Troy Franklin for a 32-yard gain inside the final minute of the fourth quarter to set up Wil Lutz's game-winning FG. Nix will head into the Broncos' Week 12 bye riding an eight-game win streak that has them firmly in control of the AFC West, two games ahead of the Chargers and four wins clear of KC.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
All of Nix's flaws were on display in Week 10 on Thursday night against Las Vegas when he was 16-of-28 passing for 150 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, and he added minus-2 rushing yards. He scored 7.8 Fantasy points, which snapped his three-game streak of scoring at least 22.5 points, but his performance in reality hasn't been equal to his Fantasy production for most of the season. This week, Nix should struggle against the Chiefs, who are No. 10 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and only two guys have thrown multiple touchdowns against this defense. Last year, in one competitive game against Kansas City in Week 10 (the Chiefs rested their starters in Week 18), Nix scored 20.1 Fantasy points. But I wouldn't trust him in this matchup, and he's only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Ragged showing in Week 10 win
Rotowire
Nix completed 16 of 28 passes for 150 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing five times for minus-2 yards in the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
Nix's final line wasn't aesthetically pleasing by any stretch, but the second-year signal-caller did just enough to help his team to its eighth victory in 10 games. Nix connected with Troy Franklin on a tight-window seven-yard touchdown pass late in the first half to erase an early 7-0 deficit, and his second interception, which could have had disastrous consequences, also came on a pass intended for Franklin that bounced off the receiver's hands at the Broncos' 45-yard line just after the halfway point of the fourth quarter. Daniel Carlson would go on to miss a game-tying field goal on the Raiders' ensuing possession, and Nix subsequently led a 10-play, 47-yard drive that allowed Denver to run out the clock. Nix has just a 4:4 TD:INT over his last three games, and he'll have a tougher matchup on tap on Sunday, Nov. 16 when the Broncos host the Chiefs in a Week 11 divisional showdown.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start
Rotowire
We love Nix whenever he's at home, and he scored a combined 75.6 Fantasy points in his past two games in Denver against the Giants and Cowboys. He's also averaging 28.5 Fantasy points in his past 12 home games going back to last season. Nix scored 22.5 Fantasy points in a tough rough game last week at Houston, and he should stay hot in this game against the Raiders, who have allowed three of the past four opposing quarterbacks to score at least 21.2 Fantasy points. Nix also scored at least 23.4 Fantasy points in two games against the Raiders in 2024, and he has top-five upside in all leagues in this matchup.

Broncos' Bo Nix: More comeback magic in Week 9
Rotowire
Nix completed 18 of 37 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans. He added 36 rushing yards on three carries.
The Broncos didn't score their first points until late in the second quarter against a tough Houston defense, on Nix's 30-yard toss to Courtland Sutton, and they trailed 15-7 heading into the fourth, but the second-year QB found a way to get it done in the clutch yet again. After finding RJ Harvey for a 27-yard TD early in the final frame and adding a two-point conversion to Troy Franklin, Nix set up the game-winning field goal with his legs on runs of 25 and nine yards in the final minute of the game. Nix will take a 17:6 TD:INT through nine starts into a Week 10 clash with the Raiders.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Nix was exceptional as the Start of the Week in Week 8 against Dallas with 31.8 Fantasy points, and he has 75.6 points in his past two outings against the Giants and Cowboys. But those were favorable matchups at home, and now he has to face the Texans on the road. Houston is No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and Baker Mayfield in Week 2 and Mac Jones in Week 8 are the only quarterbacks with more than 15.6 points against the Texans this year, including matchups with Matthew Stafford, Trevor Lawrence, and Sam Darnold. I would only start Nix in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 9.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Another four-score game Sunday
Rotowire
Nix completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 247 yards, four touchdowns and one interception while losing one yard on his only carry in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.
Nix has produced four scores for fantasy managers in consecutive appearances, using his arm for all four trips to the end zone against a depleted Dallas secondary this time around. The sophomore signal-caller leaned on his younger receiving options Sunday, dialing up second-year wideout Troy Franklin in the end zone twice and rookies Pat Bryant and RJ Harvey once each. Nix is proving his standout rookie campaign was no fluke, checking in with 1,803 passing yards and 15 touchdowns to five interceptions near the midpoint of the regular season. The 25-year-old will look to keep his hot streak alive against Houston's stingy defense next Sunday.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Start of the Week
Rotowire
Nix was having a miserable game in Week 7 against the Giants, and Denver entered the fourth quarter down 19-0. The Broncos stormed back to win the game 33-32, and Nix became the first player in NFL history to score two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns in a quarter. He finished with 43.9 Fantasy points, and he should stay hot heading into Week 8 against Dallas. The Cowboys are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and every team this season has scored at least 23.7 Fantasy points against Dallas, including three quarterbacks with at least 32.3 points. Nix has also been awesome at home, and in his past 11 games at Denver going back to last year, he averages 28.2 Fantasy points. I love Nix as a top-five Fantasy quarterback in this matchup for Week 8.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
It has been an up-and-down year for Nix, but the Cowboys should provide a great opportunity to build on last week's 40-point outburst. This is a great matchup, partially because of the Cowboys defense but also because no one is stopping that offense, which should keep Nix passing. Nix also has five or more rush attempts in five of seven games, which boosts his floor and his ceiling.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Accounts for four TDs in win
Rotowire
Nix completed 27 of 50 pass attempts for 279 yards and two touchdowns while adding five carries for 48 yards and two more scores in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Nix bounced back with a monstrous four-score game following a couple weeks of pedestrian stat lines. The 25-year-old fired off a season-high 50 pass attempts in the thrilling comeback victory, but it was his rushing production (5-48-2) that truly made his fantasy score stand out in Week 7. Nix had scored just one rushing touchdown while averaging 20.7 rushing yards over his previous six starts, so managers shouldn't expect gaudy rushing totals on a regular basis. That said, we could be in store for another strong fantasy performance from Nix next Sunday against the Cowboys' 32nd-ranked pass defense.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
Nix falls into sleeper territory because he's scored more than 20 Fantasy points just once in his past four games, and he's coming off a down performance in Week 6 against the Jets in London with 15.4 Fantasy points. But I expect him to bounce back in Week 7 against the Giants at home. In his past 10 games at home, going back to last year, Nix averages 26.7 Fantasy points. And the Giants have allowed three quarterbacks this season to score at least 22.1 Fantasy points, including two on the road with Jayden Daniels and Dak Prescott. Nix should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Mild output in overseas win
Rotowire
Nix completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 174 yards and a touchdown while adding 24 rushing yards on five attempts in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.
Nix played the role of game manager for Denver in a gritty defensive victory overseas in London. The 25-year-old did not complete a pass for the entirety of the third quarter, which helped contribute to his second-lowest yardage output as a passer this season. On the bright side, Nix was involved in the only touchdown scored for either side Sunday, delivering a 16-yard strike to TE Nate Adkins in the first quarter. With nine touchdowns thrown to four interceptions through six starts, Nix checks in as a middling fantasy option in Week 7 when the Broncos host the Giants next Sunday.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Nix is coming off a huge game in Week 4 against Cincinnati with 29.7 Fantasy points, but that was a dream matchup. This week, Nix should struggle against the Eagles, who have done well this season against Dak Prescott, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford and Baker Mayfield. Mayfield is the lone quarterback with more than 200 passing yards against Philadelphia, and Nix was averaging 178.3 passing yards per game in the first three games of the season before facing the Bengals. I'm expecting a down game for Nix against this defense, and he's only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws for 326 yards in MNF win
Rotowire
Nix completed 29 of 42 pass attempts for 326 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing six times for seven yards and a third score in Monday's 28-3 win over the Bengals.
Nix took full advantage of a cushy matchup and cracked the 300-yard mark in passing for the first time this season. The athletic signal-caller also punched in his first rushing touchdown of the year on a six-yard scamper in the first quarter that wound up being the game-winning score. While this was easily Nix's best performance to date in 2025, fantasy managers may want to keep expectations in check for a road tilt against a far-more talented Philadelphia defense in Week 5.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start

Nix is off to a slow start so far with two games under 15.5 Fantasy points, but he has the chance to get on track in Week 4 against the Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed at least 20.5 Fantasy points to quarterbacks in each of the past two games against Jacksonville and Minnesota, and Nix scored 27.9 Fantasy points against the Bengals in Week 17 last year. Nix also averages 24.1 Fantasy points in nine career home games going back to last season.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Low volume passing day
Rotowire
Nix completed 14 of 25 pass attempts for 153 yards and a touchdown while rushing eight times for 33 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
Nix didn't perform particularly poorly, rather falling victim to a dominating ball-control performance from the Chargers (-12:40 in time of possession Sunday). The dual-threat quarterback recorded his highest rushing total of the campaign in the loss while committing no turnovers for the first time in three starts. Nix will attempt to put it all together in a very favorable matchup against the Bengals next Monday.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Shaky in Week 1
Rotowire
Nix completed 25 of 40 passes for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans. He added eight rushes for 18 yards.
Nix entered 2025 with high expectations after closing the 2024 season with multiple passing touchdowns in seven of his last eight regular-season games. He couldn't carry that momentum into a home matchup against a Titans' defense that is projected to be below-average, as he averaged only 4.4 yards per attempt while throwing a pair of picks on ill-advised throws. Nix did manage a 22-yard touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton just before halftime, but this wasn't the start he hoped for to begin his sophomore campaign.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Impressive in extended showing
Rotowire
Nix completed 10 of 14 passes for 110 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions during the Broncos' 28-19 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday afternoon.
Head coach Sean Payton had announced earlier in the week that the plan was to have Nix and the offensive starters in for just 8-10 plays, but the second-year quarterback and his teammates ended up on the field for three drives after the first possession went for just three plays and lost two yards. Nix was better on an 11-play, 39-yard march that culminated in a field goal during Denver's second possession, and he wrapped up his afternoon with a 77-yard drive in which he hit No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton for 43 and 19 yards, the latter completion a touchdown via the left side of the field. Nix saw action in two preseason games overall during which he put up 25 attempts, seemingly affording him enough work to prepare for a potential breakout second season that begins with a Week 1 home matchup against the Titans on Sept. 7.

Broncos' Bo Nix: To play 8-10 snaps Saturday
Rotowire
Broncos coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Nix and the starters will play 8-10 snaps in Saturday's preseason finale against the Saints, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
Payton is simply confirming the plan he'd previously set out for Denver's preseason finale. Nix played early into the second quarter of the Broncos' preseason opener then sat out the team's second exhibition matchup. He'll get a chance to play one or two drives Saturday with a wide receiver corps that saw Devaughn Vele depart for New Orleans via trade Wednesday, leading to Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Trent Sherfield climbing the depth chart.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Quiet start to preseason
Rotowire
Nix completed six of 11 passes for 31 yards in the Broncos' 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers on Saturday night.
Nix averaged a meager 2.8 yards per attempt but certainly got his reps in during Denver's exhibition opener. The second-year signal-caller spread the ball around during his time in the contest, connecting with Troy Franklin, J.K. Dobbins, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and RJ Harvey, albeit with none of those completions going for longer than nine yards. Nix ended up playing early into the second quarter, but given the middling results for the first-team offense, he's likely in for another solid allotment of playing time in the Broncos' second preseason contest next Saturday night at home against the Cardinals.
