2025 Fantasy Football Outlook

Key Drivers

1. Sustained Dual-Threat Volume

• 430 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns added around 19% to his total fantasy production

• If healthy and used similarly by Sean Payton, this rushing floor remains strong

2. Offensive Additions

• Broncos added Evan Engram and rookie tight end Pat Bryant

• R.J. Harvey brings additional speed in the backfield

• These pieces could boost both passing efficiency and offensive versatility

3. Regression Risk

• Potential concerns if defenses adjust or if rushing production declines

• Reduced scrambling impact could chip away at his fantasy value

Headliners Take

Bo Nix heads into 2025 as a high-floor QB1, coming off a rare rookie season that combined volume passing with dynamic rushing. If he maintains 4–5 rushing attempts per game and stays healthy, he remains locked into the low-end QB1 tier.

His rushing offers a safe weekly floor, but a dip in that area could push him slightly lower. Draft with confidence once the top 6–7 quarterbacks are off the board.
