He could easily be a QB1 this week against a pass defense that allowed the 13th-highest passer rating last year while ranking 19th in passing success rate and 18th in EPA per dropback allowed.
STACKED’s take
Nix could be QB1 against Kansas City despite 2025 regression; new playcaller Webb may boost pace.
Bo Nix is positioned for a strong Week 1 matchup against Kansas City despite regression as a passer in 2025. Last year Nix finished QB11 in fantasy points per game despite seeing his passing touchdown rate fall from 5.1% to 4.1% and rushing yards per game dip from 25.3 to 20.9 (16th-ranked). He still directed a passing offense that ranked fifth in neutral passing rate and tenth in neutral pace, figures the source expects to remain stable or improve in 2026 with new playcaller Davis Webb potentially pushing Denver into the top five in neutral pace. Among 38 qualifying passers last year, Nix ranked 31st in yards per attempt, 18th in highly accurate throw rate, 19th in hero throw rate, and 22nd in fantasy points per dropback. In his two regular-season meetings with Kansas City last year, Nix was QB19 and QB10 in weekly fantasy scoring. Kansas City's pass defense allowed the 13th-highest passer rating, ranked 19th in passing success rate, and 18th in EPA per dropback allowed, positioning Nix as a potential QB1 this week.
