BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been a sneaky QB1 option in recent weeks, thanks to his rushing upside. Nix has finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback in two of the past three games while rushing for at least 60 yards in back-to-back contests. The rookie only finished with 14.1 fantasy points last week but did rush for a career-high 75 yards.

With a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8, Nix is a sneaky QB1 play in most leagues this weekend. The Panthers have given up the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, and they've allowed a top-12 fantasy quarterback in three of the past four weeks, including a QB8 finish from Marcus Mariota in Week 7.
As a result, Nix is a strong play in 12-plus team leagues and a must-start in Superflex formats this weekend. Carolina also allowed 84 rush yards to quarterbacks last week, so this could be a high rushing day for the rookie.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
