Bo Nix Has Clear QB1 Upside Against Bengals

a month ago

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is in the QB1 picture for a Week 17 showdown on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. After a slow start to his rookie season, Nix has come on strong in the second half and is currently the QB11 in overall fantasy points thanks to 3,235 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while also rushing for 352 yards and four additional touchdowns. Nix has been the QB14 in the last five weeks in terms of fantasy points per game (21.4). The 24-year-old is in a situation this weekend to put up strong numbers once again in a big contest with playoff implications for both Denver and Cincy. The matchup is an excellent one for Nix also, as the Bengals defense has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to QBs this year and the seventh-most passing yards per game (231.6). Nix should be considered a top-10 fantasy QB.
