What if the best is yet to come and we start relying on Nix again? When one considers Denver's suddenly friendly schedule -- and the emergence of a rookie running back becoming a top playmaker (finally) -- it really isn't inconceivable.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Nix's schedule improves dramatically; recent form and rookie RB support suggest QB1 upside ahead.

Nix has underperformed expectations (57.5% rostered, 14.4 PPR points per game) but the source argues his best is yet to come; he averaged 17.9 points last season and finished seventh in QB scoring in each of his first two seasons. Recent form shows improvement: eight pass plays of 20-plus yards in the past two weeks versus only 11 in the first six games, no interceptions since Week 3, and a 62-yard TD run in Week 7. Denver's schedule dramatically improves after facing the Panthers and bye, with matchups against Las Vegas (twice), Miami, New York Jets, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh—far easier than the early slate of Kansas City (twice), Jacksonville, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco, and Seattle.
