Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix is poised for a strong fantasy finish despite a slow start, currently sitting outside the top 20 in scoring average but just 11 points behind the QB12. Nix averaged 17.9 fantasy points last season and finished as a top-12 QB in each of his first two years. His recent performance shows improvement: he broke off a 62-yard touchdown run in Week 7, threw downfield more in the past two weeks, and hasn't been intercepted since Week 3.
The Broncos' schedule softens significantly after a bye week, facing the Raiders, Dolphins, Jets, Bills, Chargers, Steelers, and Patriots — a stark contrast to their early-season gauntlet of Chiefs, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, and Seahawks. Rookie RB Jonah Coleman is emerging as a top playmaker, potentially leading all rookies in rushing yards and fantasy points despite limited playing time. With Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love injured and other rookie backs underperforming, Coleman's value is rising.
Nix's improved accuracy, increased deep throws, and favorable matchups make him a compelling fantasy QB1 option moving forward.
