Bo Nix 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Looking to Take Next Step After Excellent Rookie Showing
Not even quarterback Bo Nix's biggest supporters could have predicted the extent of success that he'd have in his first year with the Denver Broncos after they selected him 12th overall in the 2024 NFL draft. The Oregon product got off to a slow start early on before coming on strong in head coach Sean Payton's offense to finish with 3,775 passing yards, 29 touchdowns (second-most all time by a rookie QB) and 12 interceptions in 17 regular-season games to lead the Broncos to their first playoff appearance since 2016. He added 92 rushing attempts for 430 yards and four TDs to finish as the QB8 in fantasy. What's even more impressive is that Nix was able to accomplish all of that with a lackluster ground game. Nix will need to be more efficient in Year 2 to take the next step, but his rushing upside gives him a safer floor at the position as at least a low-end fantasy QB1, and he should be even more comfortable in Payton's offense. The Broncos added veteran tight end Evan Engram, who could be a reliable No. 2 target behind WR1 Courtland Sutton. If Denver's rushing attack improves on the shoulders of rookie RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins, Nix could be even more dangerous. RotoBaller has Nix ranked as the No. 8 fantasy QB.
