All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Bo Nix
PositiveValueAug 21, 2026
Ian Hartitz highlights Bo Nix as a late-round quarterback (round 12) that can be targeted in the 101 draft position strategy, suggesting he offers value at that stage. Hartitz expresses enthusiasm about Nix remaining available in round 10, noting strong quarterback options available late in the draft.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
JJ Zachariason drafted Bo Nix in round 13 in a recent draft, demonstrating the viability of waiting extremely late on QB; paired with Jared Goff in round 14, this exemplifies the late-QB strategy where opportunity cost of early QB selection is avoided.NegativeProjectionAug 7, 2026
Ian Hartitz notes that while Bo Nix has a strong arm and potential for plays out of structure, his efficiency metrics are concerning, specifically citing his 6.5 yards per attempt over the last two years as being in the company of poor NFL quarterbacks. Hartitz acknowledges the potential for improvement under Sean Payton but notes that Nix has yet to demonstrate that ceiling over a full season.NegativeValueAug 5, 2026
Bo Nix went in mid-round 11 in Hartitz's mock draft, demonstrating the depth of quarterback availability when waiting until round 10 or later. This supports Hartitz's late-quarterback strategy, where quality starters remain available deep into the draft.PositiveValueJul 15, 2026
Bo Nix is presented as a comparable alternative to Brock Purdy at similar draft value, with minimal difference in production expectations.PositiveValueJul 15, 2026
Analyst questions whether there's a meaningful difference between Purdy, Nix, and Goff at this stage, suggesting similar value.NegativeInjuryNo date
Bo Nix has an ankle injury concern heading into the 2026 season; he may not move as well as expected early in the year coming off the injury. While Ian Hartitz is not scared off Jaylen Waddle because of this, he flags it as something to monitor, as reduced mobility from Nix could impact the Broncos' offensive efficiency and Waddle's production early in the season.PositiveValueNo date

Ian Hartitz places Bo Nix in QB tier 13–14, describing him as 'very confounding' with a wide range of outcomes: he could finish QB6 or QB16. Nix's yards per attempt (under 6.5 over two seasons) ranks him alongside Jacobe Brassette, Joe Flacco, Bryce Young, and Cam Ward—'not a great group.' Despite leading the NFL in pass attempts last year, he couldn't clear 4,000 yards. His ADOT is moderate. Hartitz acknowledges Nix's talent (citing his Packers game and playoff win over Josh Allen with a beautiful throw to Marvin Mims) but warns that inconsistency and stats suggest caution. Nix's deep ball accuracy has been inconsistent; the Broncos rank second-worst in the NFL at 17.9% catch rate on passes thrown 30+ yards downfield over the past two years (only the Giants were worse). Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims 'just cannot find the chemistry.' Jaylen Waddle's addition to Denver should theoretically help Nix's deep ball game, but Hartitz expresses skepticism about Waddle's durability: 'Ankle wasn't great. Fourth career ankle foot surgery.'
