Bo Nix Fantasy Week 1 Start or Sit: Bullish on the Nix Profile
· Yahoo Sports
Monday night in Kansas City is a rough way to open a season, and Nix sits 12th among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 1 rankings. He threw just one touchdown pass on 75 attempts against the Chiefs last year, though the Broncos won both games. I’m bullish on the Nix profile by way of my optimism for Jaylen Waddle.

His legs were on full display when these two teams squared off on Christmas Day (42 yards and a touchdown), and if he can sustain that level of threat on the ground, you’re going to be printing value all season given where he was going in drafts.

I’m bullish on the Nix profile by way of my optimism for Jaylen Waddle, and in terms of raw fantasy numbers in the opener, I think it’s worth noting that the Broncos couldn’t run the ball efficiently at all against the Chiefs last season (53 carries for 187 yards with a long of 15), something that could well be the case again on Monday, thus putting all of the heavy lifting on their Year 3 QB.
Will Sean Payton actually surrender the play-calling duties in a meaningful way this season? Will that mean less motion, more pace, and more responsibilities on their QB?
