News: 10 hours agoNix 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.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Selected 12th overall by the Broncos, Nix stands a good chance at capturing the starting role after coach Sean Payton raved about the rookie's potential. Nix is an extensively experienced college quarterback, having started 61 games and attempted 1,936 passes across three seasons at Auburn and two at Oregon. He finished with a stellar 2023, in which he completed an FBS record 77.4% of his pass attempts with 45 touchdowns compared to three interceptions. Though that came in an exceedingly pass-friendly offense, his ability to make quick reads and sharp throws should serve him well as he adapts to NFL play. Nix should be drafted only in superflex formats.
