Bo Nix slings it deep against Packers on Friday

Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Player Stats

Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 6-of-9 passes for 76 yards and one touchdown in Friday’s preseason game against the Packers.

Nix looked mobile and eager to chuck it downfield. He even had a few overthrows, which we suppose is a good thing for a quarterback who spent the offseason rehabbing an ankle injury. The Broncos quarterback linked up with new WR Jaylen Waddle for a 35-yard gain down the seam and targeted WR Courtland Sutton a couple of times along the sideline. He found tonight’s starting RB RJ Harvey speeding down the right side of the field on a wheel route, and linked up with the second-year running back for a 21-yard touchdown to conclude the first drive. New OC Davis Webb regularly dialed up play action, which is great for fantasy purposes. Nix looks like a low-end QB1.

Jaylen Waddle

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jaylen Waddle caught 2-of-5 targets for 19 yards in the Broncos’ Week 5 win over the Chargers while adding a nine-yard rush.

Give some credit to the Chargers’ defense, but this was an ugly game for both passing attacks. Waddle has his second dud in three weeks, and doesn’t appear to have great chemistry with Bo Nix thus far. No one really does, to be fair, as no receiver caught more than four passes for Denver. Waddle is a volatile WR2, and that volatility becomes more, well, volatile for Week 6 against the Seahawks.
RJ Harvey

DEN Running Back #12

RJ Harvey picked up seven yards on three carries in the Broncos’ Week 5 win over the Chargers.

Harvey was a non-factor in this one, and a week after his big receiving game, he was held without a catch with just one target. The second-year tailback was clearly the backup to JK Dobbins, and was unable to make the most of his limited opportunities. He’s off the radar for Week 6 versus the Seahawks on Thursday.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Bo Nix completed 16-of-127 passes for 123 yards with a touchdown in the Broncos’ 23-17, Week 5 win over the Chargers.

Nix also added 10 yards on the ground on his four carries. He once again wasn’t able to get the ball downfield, with a long passing gain of 34 yards on a busted coverage. He was at least able to find Courtland Sutton for a short touchdown, but this was an ugly day for both signal-callers. Nix is no more than a QB2 for a matchup against the tough Seattle defense in Week 6, and it’s worth noting that game takes place Thursday night.
Bo Nix

DEN Quarterback #10

Bo Nix completed 25-of-42 attempts for 214 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 4 loss to the 49ers, adding two rushes for ten yards.

Nix’s play — including missing easy intermediate throws in the first half — left Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb without answers, a common theme so far this season. His lone touchdown came on a garbage time score to Jaylen Waddle. Nix was in check-down mode throughout the game against the Niners, finishing with a 4.9 aDOT. He was 5 percent under his expected completion rate, targeting his running backs 12 times. Until Webb and Sean Payton figure out the offense, Nix will be a superflex-only fantasy option without much of a weekly ceiling. He gets the Chargers in Week 5.
Jaylen Waddle

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle caught 5-of-6 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ Week 4 loss to the 49ers.

Waddle was invisible for much of the game until a late red zone touchdown with the Broncos in up-tempo catch-up mode. It was his first touchdown reception as a Bronco. Waddle, who now has three down games in his first four contests as the Broncos’ nominal WR1, will probably struggle until Denver OC Davis Webb figures out how to maximize his personnel, including the struggling Bo Nix. Against the 49ers Waddle was targeted on a meager 16 percent of his routes. Hopefully that rate will rise in Week 5 against the Chargers.
J.K. Dobbins

DEN Running Back #27

JK Dobbins had 11 rushes for 40 yards in the Broncos’ Week 4 loss to the 49ers, adding two catches for 12 yards.

Dobbins, as usual, led the Denver backfield in carries but lost out to RJ Harvey on pass routes and targets. In fact, Harvey led the Broncos with ten catches on ten targets in a check-down heavy game plan for Bo Nix and OC Davis Webb. Dobbins has been touchdown-reliant as the Broncos’ lead back, and sensitive to game script, as we saw in Week 4. Dobbins can be used as a flex next week against a vulnerable Chargers run defense.
RJ Harvey

DEN Running Back #12

RJ Harvey had seven rushes for 25 yards in the Broncos’ Week 4 loss to the 49ers, adding ten catches for 68 yards.

Playing against a 49ers defense allowing the league’s highest target share to running backs, Harvey led the Broncos in targets and receptions — thanks in part to negative game script that forced Denver to go pass heavy in the second half. It was a nice little PPR cheat code outing for Harvey, who now has 20 receptions in three games this year. JK Dobbins, meanwhile, led the Denver backfield with 11 rushes in Week 4. Harvey could be a PPR flex play next week against the Chargers.
Jaylen Waddle

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle (foot) is not on the injury report for Week 4 against the 49ers.

Waddle gave folks a fright, sporting a walking boot after the Broncos’ Week 3 win over the Rams. He practiced in full all week, though, so there are no concerns about his availability. Waddle is a WR2 against the 49ers in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment.
J.K. Dobbins

DEN Running Back #27

J.K. Dobbins (hip) is practicing in full for Week 4 against the 49ers.

RJ Harvey was checked for a concussion in Week 3 and is not on the injury report today, meaning both backs are good to go for Week 4. Dobbins saw 17 carries versus the Rams compared to just two for Harvey, though the latter caught six passes. Dobbins caught one pass. The rushing advantage will keep Dobbins in the RB3 mix for Week 4.
Jaylen Waddle

DEN Wide Receiver #17

Jaylen Waddle is practicing in full for Week 4 against the 49ers.

Waddle was spotted in a boot after Week 3’s win over the Rams. DNVR’s Zac Stevens reported at the time that he was fine and can comfortably take a victory lap now that Payton has said he practiced in full. Waddle posted a dud in Week 3 with two catches for 10 yards, but he ripped off 138 yards the week before that. The production might come in peaks and valleys, but fantasy managers should hold the line and treat him like a WR2 for a potential shootout with the 49ers this week.

Panthers coach Dave Canales said Jalen Coker (quad) is “on track” to play in Carolina’s Week 6 game against the Eagles.

Coker was spotted practicing on Tuesday (there will be no injury report for this one) and seems like he’s well on track to return. He’ll be a fringe WR2/WR3 against the Eagles in Week 6.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jauan Jennings “would be a name for me to keep an eye on” for the 49ers.

Jennings has been a major disappointment in Minnesota, falling behind Tai Felton on the depth chart. A small stakes trade could make sense for the 49ers, who are down to hoping Brandin Cooks can provide for Brock Purdy in a major rash of injuries.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio said it would take “something miraculous” for DE Jalyx Hunt (ankle) to play in Week 6.

The Eagles defense is one of the better units in the NFL, but it has been quite banged up of late and losing Hunt here is not ideal. We’ll see if they can blot out Bryce Young’s strong start with the Panthers in Week 6.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Tre’ Harris (hamstring) is “more of a week-to-week [thing].”

Harris will probably have a real chance to play in Week 8, after the Chargers’ Week 7 bye. He thudded to a 16-yard outing in his big chance last week with Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey out and doesn’t necessarily need to be rostered if you’re in a bye week crunch.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Quentin Johnston (chest) will “probably be limited this week like last for the practice.”

“We’ll see where he’s at the end of the week,” Harbaugh added. Johnston practiced on both Thursday and Friday so he likely has the best chance of being active among Los Angeles’ main three wideouts. Unfortunately this passing game is in rough shape, and even a higher volume, healthy load probably wouldn’t get Johnston above the FLEX line.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said it’s “possible” that Ladd McConkey (foot) is “working back in this week.”

McConkey was active last week but an emergency-only player and played zero snaps. With the Chargers having a Week 7 bye, we’d be surprised if they pushed McConkey to play unless they really needed him. Unfortunately, since he was already active last week, we know that they may really need him. His status is up in the air ahead of Week 6.
