Bo Nix’s preseason debut with the Denver Broncos came in Week 1 against San Francisco. He completed 6 of 11 passes for 31 yards, with a few clean moments on targeted plays and a notable first-drive glance to Courtland Sutton that showed timing and air-throw potential. Sutton’s route on that go-ball was a showcase of where Denver wants to lean, even if the play ended incomplete. The sequence illustrated Nix freezing the safety with his eyes and delivering a precise ball to Sutton on the sideline, a sign of what could become a repeatable connection if the accuracy and decision-making tighten up.

Tim Jenkins’ balanced take emphasizes the long arc: preseason is a small sample, and no red flags were raised beyond a handful of underthrows to Sutton and Franklin and a safety that adds a caution flag rather than a verdict. The takeaway for fantasy: Sutton remains a primary target, and Nix needs to clean up a few throws and pocket decisions to unlock points and wins in 2025. Broncos fans should watch how the offense grows over the next few weeks as the coaching staff designers tailor routes and rhythm for Nix’s strengths. The full breakdown runs about 16 minutes and is a useful, realistic lens on what to expect moving forward.
