Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Bo Nix

PodcastPreseason Love/Hate (QBs + RBs)August 27, 2026

From the episode

So if you remove that 40-point game from Bo Nix last year, his points per game drops to 16.6, which last year would have ranked as QB 14... does he run as much this year, Nando? Because that was a big part of his fantasy value as well is the rushing.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Nix is a mid-tier QB2 due to outlier performance and potential rushing regression.

Matthew Berry ranks Bo Nix as QB15, noting that his previous top-10 finishes were inflated by a 40-point outlier game against the Giants; removing that game drops his average to 16.6 points per game (QB14 level). Additionally, concerns exist regarding his health following an ankle injury and potential regression in rushing volume, which was a key component of his fantasy value.
