Should You Start or Sit Bo Nix in Week 11?
What we are seeing from Bo Nix is encouraging on multiple levels. He’s keeping his WR1 feed while also taking what the defense is giving him and adding in plus athleticism when given the opportunity.
I’m loading up on as much Nix stock as I can in long-term leagues, and while I don’t think he’s yet a locked-in starter, he’s in the mix. In the first quarter last week, he distributed his eight passes to seven different teammates, guiding him to his fourth top-15 performance over his past six games.
In terms of this week, the Falcons have the fourth-lowest opponent average depth of throw, something that I believe Nix will leverage to a high-floor, low-ceiling sort of performance that lands him in the QB11-15 range. There’s nothing wrong with that, and if he can continue to showcase growth, a matchup with the Bengals in Week 17 could result in you counting on him with money on the line.
