Nix completed 13 of 22 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown and added a team-high 43 rushing yards on four carries in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills.
The rookie quarterback came out of the gates firing, connecting with Troy Franklin on a 43-yard TD on Denver's first possession, but the game was dominated by Buffalo after that. Nix wrapped up a successful first pro season with 3,775 passing yards, a 66.3 percent completion rate and a 29:12 TD:INT over 17 regular-season appearances, while also contributing 430 rushing yards and four more scores on the ground. The Broncos appear to have found their new franchise QB with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with Courtland Sutton, Franklin and Marvin Mims forming a intriguing trio of wideouts all under contract for 2025, Nix's numbers figure to improve as he grows more familiar with Sean Payton's offense.

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: Mixed stat line in win
Rotowire
Nix completed 18 of 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions while rushing three times for four yards in Monday's 41-32 win over Cleveland.
Nix turned in mixed results in Monday's thrilling victory, throwing his 17th touchdown in addition to his seventh and eighth interceptions of the season. The rookie standout didn't have his best game as a rusher, either, but his 294 passing yards was his second-highest total through 13 starts. Nix has been progressing well since enduring a slow start to the campaign, making him a viable fantasy option coming out of the upcoming bye against the Colts on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Broncos' Bo Nix: No injury designation for Monday
Rotowire
Nix (back) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Browns.
Nix was a full participant both Friday and Saturday, meaning he's good to go for the primetime affair against the Browns. Cleveland's defense is allowing 251 passing yards over the last three games, which ranks 10th worst in the NFL, and that includes last Thursday's blizzard-like conditions against the Steelers. The rookie quarterback could be poised for yet another outstanding day as he vies for Rookie of the Year honors.

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.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start
Rotowire
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.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Start
Rotowire
Nix was awesome as the Start of the Week in Week 11 against Atlanta with a career-high 36.8 Fantasy points, and he has now scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in five of his past seven games, including two in a row. That streak started in Week 5 against Las Vegas when he scored 27.1 Fantasy points with 206 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with 9 rushing yards and a touchdown, and I expect him to have another outstanding game against the Raiders in Week 12. Five of the past six quarterbacks against Las Vegas have scored at least 22.2 Fantasy points, including three in a row.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Throws four TDs in career-best game
Rotowire
Nix completed 28 of 33 passes for 307 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons.
Nix set new single-game career highs in passing yards and touchdown passes as well as in completion percentage (85 percent) and passer rating (145). He threw a touchdown pass in each quarter, with a 12-yarder to Nate Adkins in the first, a 12-yarder to Marvin Mims in the second, a seven-yarder to Troy Franklin in the third and a 41-yarder to Lil'Jordan Humphrey in the fourth. Nix's four touchdown passes brought his season total up to 14, which tied the Broncos franchise rookie record set by Marlin Briscoe in 1968. The rookie first-round pick will look to take sole possession of that record during the Broncos' Week 12 trip to Vegas.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Adds/Streamers (QB Preview)
Rotowire
Nix has been a legitimate top-12 Fantasy QB for the past six weeks and now he's at home against a Falcons defense that has allowed 21.6 FPPG to opposing QBs, and four straight-21-point performances. Nix ix also the best stash if you need one because he faces the Raiders in Week 12.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Nix had a solid game in Week 10 at Kansas City with 20.1 Fantasy points, and he's now scored at least 20 points in four of his past six games. He has a great matchup in Week 11 against Atlanta, and then he gets Las Vegas in Week 12. He's worth trusting as a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues against the Falcons, and he should be added for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Broncos' Bo Nix: QBs to Sit
Rotowire
Nix had the chance for a better game at Baltimore in Week 9, but he missed some open receivers for big plays. He ended up with 17.7 Fantasy points, which is fine, but that was a favorable matchup. I don't like the matchup at Kansas City in Week 10, and Nix is only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. The Chiefs have only allowed three quarterbacks to score more than 18.9 Fantasy points and one since Week 2. I'm expecting Nix to stay under 20 Fantasy points in Week 10.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Week 9 Waiver Priority List

Nix scored a season-high 35.8 Fantasy points in Week 8 against Carolina, and he's now scored at least 24.7 points in three of his past four games. He's scored at least six Fantasy points in four games in a row with just his rushing totals alone, and his upcoming schedule is favorable with matchups against Baltimore in Week 9, Atlanta in Week 11, and Las Vegas in Week 12 (he faces the Chiefs in Week 10). Nix is worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Broncos' Bo Nix: Produces four TDs in win
Rotowire
Nix completed 28 of 37 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns while adding four more yards and a TD on five carries in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.
The rookie QB put together his best performance of the season, leading the Broncos to touchdowns on three straight drives in the second quarter before capping his day with a nine-yard scoring toss to Jaleel McLaughlin in the third. Nix's 284 passing yards also were a career high, and while the quality of the opposition Sunday has to be taken into account, the Oregon product still has completed 66.7 percent of his passes over the last four games while generating nine touchdowns (seven through the air, two on the ground) against only one interception. Nix will take on a Ravens defense Week 9 that just allowed Jameis Winston to hang 334 yards and three TDs on them in his first start of the season.
