Bo Nix was QB22 over those first four weeks, but QB5 over the rest of the season. He averaged 2.2 passing touchdowns per game over his last 13 games, which was a big part of his success from a fantasy perspective.

Nix’s rushing production was an asset to his fantasy value. His 2.9 scrambles per game ranked third-most among quarterbacks, leading to 21.2 rushing yards from scrambles per game and 0.12 rushing touchdowns from scrambles per game, which both ranked seventh-most.

Nix was greatly helped by having the highest graded offensive line in terms of pass protection. The entire line played at least 800 snaps and at least 13 games. Left tackle Garett Bolles had a great rookie season in 2017 and has generally improved as his career has progressed. Center Luke Wattenberg and right guard Quinn Meinerz took notable steps forward in 2024. Nix had an 85.0 passing grade when kept clean, and a 39.8 passing grade under pressure.
