Can fantasy managers trust Bo Nix at his current ADP?

Video Transcript
Bo Nix is also an interesting conversation, you know, when I mentioned drafting Drake May, he's also going to go after Bo Nix, and I think that's incorrect.
Nix at least showed us that he is a promising player in the NFL or even.
I had question marks about that coming out of Oregon.
But also, remember, price matters in this dumb little game of fantasy football we're playing and Bo Nix last year was going basically undrafted, even in Superflex leagues, and we knew that was incorrect at the time just to take a shot on a quarterback with athleticism and draft capital.
Whereas this year, now he's being treated as a top 12 guy, and I think that's a mistake since the cost has gotten significantly better.
He broke out last year, did a lot of things differently, started passing a lot more behind the line of scrimmage in order to get plays upfield.
Rather than forcing things to happen downfield.
But also, that happened last year against one of the easiest schedules in the entire league, and the running he showed in the first half of the year became significantly inconsistent at the cost of then peppering behind the line of scrimmage.
So I'm a little bit worried about Bo Nix, just for fantasy.
Again, he showed he's a very good player that we were wrong on, but yes, I think the Broncos are just naturally going to play everyone, and that's scary.
No, it's totally fair about Nix.
He was a guy that I really wanted to be excited about this year, but like he just goes a little too early in that massive tier, uh, where I haven't gotten a lot of Bo Nix, um, but certainly it really, really good fit in Sean Payton's offense and and somebody that I think can be an exciting player for them for the long term.

Broncos QB Bo Nix provides behind-the-scenes look at offseason training
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix silenced a lot of doubters in 2024 when he led the team to the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade. The biggest question coming into 2025 is, "Can he keep this up?" Nix is doing everything in his power to make sure the answer to that question is a resounding yes. Nix released a nine-minute video documenting two days of his offseason training on Monday, giving fans an inside look at what he has been doing to perform better than he did last season. The video, "The In Between: Bo Nix," shows Nix doing various throwing, workout and sprinting drills, all aimed to help Nix remain in top physical form going into 2025. What the video doesn't show is the extra effort Nix put in aside from these sessions. Nix reached out to NFL legends such as Drew Brees, Peyton and Eli Manning and worked with longtime throwing guru Tom House to help improve his form and his habits. "The in between is what nobody really sees, and to me, it's the most important part of the journey," said Nix in the video, speaking about the offseason. "It reflects what you're going to do in the season. So if I don't train hard, if I don't train correctly, if I don't train with the end in mind, I'm just going to go out there and kind of waste time. And yeah, it'll be difficult, it won't be fun in the moment, but when you get in the game, it makes those training moments more special." Nix's training and leadership will be a boon to a hungry Broncos organization with Super Bowl aspirations.

Colts coaching staff impressed with Anthony Gould's quiet improvement
Colts coaching staff impressed with Anthony Gould's quiet improvement originally appeared on The Sporting News Second-year wide receiver Anthony Gould may not be the biggest name on the Colts offense, but he hasn't been deterred. The Oregon State product had an uneventful rookie year. He made just one 23-yard catch on offense and had a role as a special teams return man, returning a total of 17 kicks and punts over eight appearances. This offseason, Gould has taken a step up. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter sees his hard work paying off. 'He put in a really good offseason of work, and it's showing here at camp,' Cooter said after Sunday's practice. 'He's playing really good ball right now…he's absolutely gotten better.' Gould has been a frequent target for both Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones as a quick-hitting, over the middle connection for easy yards. That role is typically occupied by Josh Downs, but Gould has a similar skillset. Gould is listed a place behind Downs on the Colts first unofficial depth chart, the same position he was slotted into on last season's first depth chart. He's also listed as the primary kick and punt returner, a decision backed up by multiple reports of him fielding kicks at Grand Park. There's no telling how much of an impact Gould can have offensively in a crowded passing game, but the skillset and versatility is there to become a valuable asset in Indianapolis.
