Should You Start or Sit Bo Nix in Week 7?
From PFN Analyst Kyle Soppe
Nix has been a top-12 quarterback in three of his past four games, scoring over six points with his legs on each occasion. Over the last two weeks, the rookie has four touchdown passes on 60 attempts after throwing just one on 138 passes to open the season.
There’s a very good chance that Nix is a better fantasy QB than a real QB for years to come, and that means I’ll have my eye on him, but there is simply too much stability at the position to roll the dice on a sporadic rookie facing a top-four defense in both passer rating and touchdown rate.
Bo Nix’s Fantasy Points Projection in Week 7
Nix is projected to score 9.8 fantasy points in Week 7. This includes 151 passing yards, 0.7 passing touchdowns, and 0.4 interceptions. It also includes 1.7 rushing attempts for 9.6 yards and 0.1 touchdowns.
