Nix delivered a rough first outing but earned backing from teammates and coaching, with resilience and a quick-to-adjust mindset highlighted by Denver’s defense and Sutton’s support.

Bo Nix is highlighted as a dynamic fit for Payton’s evolving offense; athletic, mobile, and improving in the playbook, he represents the Broncos’ potential fantasy upside as he matures in Year 2 under Payton.

Nix confronts a Colts defense that limited Week 1 passing yards and contained Tua, highlighting a dink-and-dunk approach that struggles for fantasy upside. The depth of target and low ADOT suggest a risky week for Nix, pushing him outside the top 15.
