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: Helps lead road upset Sunday
Rotowire
Nix completed 24 of 39 passes for 242 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding three rushes for 22 yards in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.
Nix had his fair share of struggles against the Eagles' talented defense, but he helped lead Denver back from a 17-3 second-half deficit. Nix led a trio of fourth-quarter scoring drives, capping one of them with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Evan Engram and following it up with a two-point conversion toss to Troy Franklin. Nix has at least one touchdown pass in every game thus far this season and has posted his two highest passing yardage totals of the campaign in the last pair of contests heading into a Week 6 trip across the pond to face the Jets in London.

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
Rotowire
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.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Leads Denver to postseason
Rotowire
Nix completed 26 of 29 passes for 321 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 38-0 win over the Chiefs. He added seven rushes for 47 yards.
Nix benefitted from the Chiefs resting a number of key players on defense, but he still had an impressive showing to clinch a playoff spot for Denver. He completed his first 17 passes spanning well into the second quarter, highlighted by three long gains of 47, 32 and 32 yards as well as three of his four touchdowns. Nix will now lead the Broncos into a tough first-round playoff matchup in Buffalo, but he had at least three touchdowns in three of his last four games to close out the regular season of his rookie campaign.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Nix was awesome as the Start of the Week in Week 17 at Cincinnati with 219 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception, and he added 31 rushing yards for 27.9 Fantasy points. He's now scored at least 23.4 Fantasy points in four of his past six games, including two in a row, and he scored 20.1 Fantasy points at Kansas City in Week 10. The Chiefs are planning to rest starters for the playoffs, and the Broncos need this game to lock up the final wild-card spot. Nix should have the chance for a big outing in Week 18.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Impressive Week 17 showing
Rotowire
Nix completed 24 of 31 passes for 219 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals. He added seven rushes for 31 yards.
Nix didn't match the exceptional stat line of his counterpart Joe Burrow, but he was impressive in his own right. After struggling to move the offense in the first half, he led a trio of touchdown drives in the final two quarters. The performance was highlighted by a pair of long touchdown passes to Marvin Mims, the first being a 51-yard deep shot and the second coming on a 25-yard desperation heave with only eight seconds remaining in regulation. Nix now has at least three passing scores in three of his last six games after accomplishing that only once in his first 10 games as a pro.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Strong numbers in loss
Rotowire
Nix completed 29 of 40 passes for 263 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added three rushes for 25 yards in the Broncos' 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but Denver retained possession.
The rookie turned in yet another impressive performance and did so against a talented defense, bouncing back from having thrown a combined five interceptions over the previous two games. Nix eclipsed 250 passing yards for the fourth time in five games with Thursday's total, one he achieved by connecting with a whopping 10 targets overall. Nix's pair of touchdown passes went to Michael Burton (one yard) and Devaughn Vele (six yards) -- both in the second quarter -- and he's now compiled 13 scoring tosses over the last six games. Nix next takes aim at the vulnerable Bengals defense in a Week 17 road matchup on Saturday, Dec. 28.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Overcomes three INTs in Week 15 win
Rotowire
Nix completed 20 of 33 passes for 130 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Colts. He added eight rushing attempts for 23 yards.
Nix reverted to the poor form he showed early in the season, throwing an interception on Denver's first drive and adding another two picks in the third quarter. He connected with Adam Trautman for a 13-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter, and after Denver's defense held the fort while Nix found his game, the rookie quarterback created some breathing room with fourth-quarter touchdown passes of 15 and 20 yards to Nate Adkins and Courtland Sutton, respectively. Nix has a 4:5 TD:INT in his last two starts after posting an 8:0 mark over the three preceding games, so he'll look to clean up the mistakes on a short week Thursday against the Chargers.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Sleeper QBs
Rotowire
I don't have Nix ranked as a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback this week, but I would definitely consider starting him in all leagues. He's taking on a Colts defense that has allowed four of the past five quarterbacks to score at least 18.1 Fantasy points, including three over 20 points, and Nix was hot going into his bye in Week 14. He scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in three of his past four games, and he should be in that range again in Week 15.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Full participant Friday
Rotowire
Nix (back) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Nix's return to full participation Friday suggests he isn't in danger of sitting out Monday's game against the Browns after being limited on Thursday's practice estimate. The rookie quarterback confirmed as much himself Friday by stating "I'm good to go," per Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. Barring a setback, Nix won't have an injury designation when the Broncos release their final injury report Saturday.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Limited on practice estimate
Rotowire
Nix (back) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.
The Broncos held a walkthrough Thursday, with Nix estimated as a limited participant due to a back issue. The QB didn't miss a snap in Denver's 29-19 win over the Raiders in Week 12, an effort that led to Nix being named the NFL's Rookie of the Week for the third consecutive week. Therefore, it's quite possible that his listed limitations Thursday were maintenance-related. Added context on that front may arrive via Friday's injury report.

Nix continued his push for NFL Rookie of the Year with another strong performance in Week 12 against Las Vegas with 23.4 Fantasy points. He's now scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in six of his past eight games, including three in a row. The Browns have allowed three of the past four quarterbacks to score at least 22.5 Fantasy points, and Nix should be considered a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues in this matchup at home.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Stays hot in win over Raiders
Rotowire
Nix completed 25 of 42 pass attempts for 273 yards and two touchdowns (with no turnovers) while rushing for five yards on his only carry in Sunday's 29-19 win over the Raiders.
Nix maintained the momentum from his career-best performance last week with another clean win while throwing multiple touchdown passes. The rookie quarterback has been developing quickly with 11 touchdowns to just one interception over his last five contests. Nix will lead a 7-5 Broncos squad into Week 13 for a home tilt against the Browns on Monday Night Football.
