After being drafted 12th overall, Bo Nix is set to be the quarterback of the future for the Denver Broncos. Nix joined a quarterback room with Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson after the Broncos moved on from Russell Wilson this past offseason, and he has officially won the starting job. He showed promise in his first two preseason games completing 23/30 passes for 205 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. In comparison, Stidham led six drives this preseason producing one touchdown for the team and throwing two interceptions.

Sean Payton’s offense seems to be a nice fit for Nix as he excels in getting the ball out quickly, drawing some comparison to how Payton ran offenses with Drew Brees at the helm. Nix is a sure starter in superflex leagues and has QB2 upside in redraft. The Broncos look to be a struggling team this year which could provide passing game scripts for Nix. For dynasty managers, Nix being named the starter is huge for his development. It would have been extremely concerning had he not been able to beat out Stidham. Nix does have age concerns as a 24 year old rookie, but starting right away definitely dampens those concerns.
