From the video
the broken ankle from most of what I've heard, training camp reports seem very optimistic... if his mobility is limited, I might pull back on the fantasy stock in him... I'm not overly worried about his ankle. I think he'll be fine. He gets a new toy in Waddle.
STACKED’s take
Broken ankle optimistic for recovery, but mobility limitations early could impact fantasy value.
Nix suffered a broken ankle injury from the playoffs; training camp reports and Sean Payton are very optimistic about recovery. Mobility is critical to fantasy value given Nix's natural athleticism and Payton's scheme allowing him to run. Nix has concerning ankle injury history (multiple prior ankle injuries, commentary suggests re-injury was inevitable); however, surgeon Dr. Waldrip (same as Burrow) has operated on him 3-4 times and reinforced the ankle extensively. The source is not overly worried about his ankle long-term and expects he'll be fine early on. Nix receives a new receiving weapon in Jaylen Waddle; revamped offensive line and improved running back core support the offense.
