Should You Start or Sit Bo Nix in Week 12?
Bo Nix has a pair of finishes inside of the top three at the position over the past four weeks, matching Josh Allen in that regard for the season. He’s far from a finished product, but for our game, he’s already an asset.
We saw some of the development from Nix in Denver’s first drive last week — he completed four of five passes while targeting four different players and firing a touchdown in the process. He’s checking all of the boxes we want, and that lands him inside my top 10 this week against a defense that allows the third most yards per slot pass attempt this season.
Why highlight that specific stat? Nix is a cool 13-of-13 for 141 yards and a touchdown to the slot over the past two weeks. Buckle up, this isn’t a flash in the pan!
