Bo Nix’s Denver setup leans on the backfield, with RJ Harvey a potential red-zone hammer alongside J.K. Dobbins as a larger option. The emphasis on a ground game and defense this offseason suggests Harvey could become the reliable, volume-driven back that eases the rookie QB’s road to competitiveness.

Bo Nix, Denver's quarterback, is at the center of Payton's new scheme. shortened calls should speed reads and improve line-of-scrimmage efficiency, while the expanded RPOs tailor-fit to his mobility. Last season's RPO stats show a base of rushing and passing reads that could translate into higher fantasy upside if tempo and execution hold.

Nix is tagged as a bust at his current ADP due to draft cost and ceiling comparisons, despite strong rookie-season signs and a Denver offense that has added talent around him. The piece notes his rushing attempts were among the top, but defenses may counter with more mid-range throws if intermediates aren’t developed. The draft position is the key risk here.

Nix is depicted as a selfless, confident leader whose growth in Payton’s system is accelerating, with a signature moment last year showing he can deliver calm, accurate throws under pressure.

Nix’s preseason presence for Denver signals a reevaluation of the offense’s ceiling. If he capitalizes on a strong supporting cast and functioning offense, he could push Broncos’ fantasy QB potential into more favorable weekly matchups alongside the Cardinals’ rising weapons, creating cross-league attention for QB play.
