Likely starting him in Superflex. Hes slid a little these last few weeks, coupled with the Thursday game which are attributed with stinkers. Has me quite nervous, but likely the best option I have.
Would love to see him put on a show against the Chargers.

The same Jesse minter defense that gave up 41 points to the Bucs?

If you happen to have started Bo Nix last night, like me, you probaly aren’t complaining. But a little salty about what could have been.
You can blame me if you want. Sent my buddy who helps me make a few roster decisions on occasion this message near the end of the second quarter.
“Bo has already put up exactly what I hoped for/wanted from him with a whole 6:00 and a half to play
Feels nice”
I put the stink/jinx on him as he did virtually nothing after that.

Yeah. Can’t complain at all. But like you I thought I was about to walk into a 30-40 burger after that start and send my opponent packing on a Thursday.
Hated that decision to kick quick on the last drive, though I know team wise it’s likely the right call.
Interestingly enough I started him over Herbert. Which looked like the right call most of the game. But he did the opposite and turned it on late and ended up outscoring Nix by .7 points in my scoring. Wasn’t the wrong call either way, just funny.

Bo Nix joins CJ Stroud and Justin Herbert as the only rookies in NFL history to have six games or more of 200 passing yards, 2 TD's and no interceptions. Source: Rich Eisen
Sure seems like a franchise-caliber QB to me

Excellent rookie year (the fact he was drafted #12 and is not surrounded by high-level skill players makes it even more so)...expectations for rookie/young QBs can be so unrealistic in today's NFL...I think the whole take advantage of the rookie contract mindset can actually hurt a young QB's development at times...Payton nailed this pick and it is very impressive how quickly the Broncos got out of the hole they were in two years ago with the Wilson (and Hackett) debacle...this kid has a chance to go on a nice, long run of high-quality fantasy seasons...those who have him in SF are going to be very happy.

All the folks screaming that he was just a "dink and dunk" passer at Oregon sure have gone quiet about Nix.

Yep. And imagine if one of Mims, Vele or Franklin becomes a consistent #2 type receiver to pair with Sutton and one of the others a good #3 type. Further imagine they draft a top TE prospect. Very exciting future.x.com

Also imagine if they draft a stud RB to replace the junk we currently have. Also imagine if somehow they are able to land T Higgins in free agency.Yep.

The last few losses suck but it has put them in better position to get Tyler Warren in the draft.
I was shocked how little Mims was being used the first couple years. I thought for sure he would be a stud coming out of college.

Agree with the Mims usage. Very odd when you see games like last night.Also imagine if they draft a stud RB to replace the junk we currently have.

Play in an 8 keeper league where I picked up Nix as a FA early in season, so have him as a last round keeper (weird rules). Also have Daniels as a 6th round keeper. Think I will keep them both and not stress about QB for the next few years.

Where does Nix rank in dynasty superflex right now?
Somewhere in the QB8-QB10 range. I like him better than Kyler, Stroud or Maye, but can see arguments for going with them over Nix.
Agree with Kyler. I’d still have Stroud ahead. Maye and Nix would be neck and neck for me.

Good spot to be in and nice that he fell in their lap. Big advantage having a good QB on rookie contract and not having to trade the farm to move up and get him.

I know so far most people don't sound too excited about this incoming WR class; but I think if Denver takes one of them to pair with Nix, they'll get a very healthy bump to their ADP.

Agreed. The narrative in some other threads about Nix having already reached his ceiling are way off base. Wait until he gets some legit weapons (and/or current ones continue to develop e.g. Mims, Franklin, Vele).

The Athletic's Mock Draft has the Broncos taking Ashton Jeanty at 20.....and boy oh boy would THAT be fun!
20. Denver Broncos: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Should Jeanty fall this far? Of course not. But if Dallas decides to pass, there aren’t many obvious landing spots for him in the top 18. From the Boise State Broncos to the Denver Broncos, Jeanty would add another level to Sean Payton’s offense and continue to help Bo Nix ascend as one of the league’s bright young quarterbacks.I would imagine one of those “not too obvious” landing spots would gobble him up long before he got to 20. Backfields aren’t like they used to be. Who had Seattle taking Charbonnet?
I’m not gonna get my hopes up. The good news is this is a pretty deep draft for RB’s. If Jeanty somehow slipped into the teens it is possible Denver might move up. Sean Payton has been known to go get his guy. That being said Payton has always liked to use multiple RB’s so I don’t know if he would invest that much draft capital.

Denver might give Kansas City a run for their money for the division this year.

Nix had an awful start to the season last year and that painted people's opinions of him. He finished really strong. I'm very bullish on Nix.
My concerns:
1. Opposing teams have a better read on what he does well and will be better prepared for him in 2025.
2. Sophomore slumps are common.
3. Denver didn't do a damn thing to upgrade the WR room. Engram will help for sure but we don't have a legit #1. Sutton is a WR2 masquerading as a WR1, and then there's a bunch of WR4 filling in as WR2.

OL is terrific. Added Harvey and Dobbins instead of WR leads me to believe there will be a bigger focus on the ground game. That should shake things up regarding a sophomore slump.
I'd like to see Keenan Allen sign here. Sutton X and Mims/Franklin Z out wide with Keenan in the slot makes the room better in 3WR formations.

I didn’t see Pat Bryant mentioned here. He brings what Payton wants at WR

it was an intentional omission, but you are correct. i heard (too lazy to research so may be bad on me) Payton typically doesn't like to throw rookie WR in the mix early. If I'm wrong here, please LMK. i view Mims as the starter with franklin getting more looks in year two.
franklin had some buzz last year and those dart throws didn't produce fruit in best ball. if you are talking dynasty, bryant is the one i'd target for future seasons.
It’s been a while, but Marques Colton was huge for Payton from the jump.

Vele got some nice run as a 35yr old rookie last year.
