The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider named QB Bo Nix, RB Audric Estime, and WR Troy Franklin as potential “breakout candidates” in 2025. Nix finished QB8 in fantasy scoring as a rookie, so you could argue he’s not a fit here. But Estime and Franklin both underwhelmed in Year 1, so there’s room for growth.
Broncos QB Bo Nix revealed that he played through transverse process fractures in his back. "Yes, I got twisted up a little bit, had three process fractures. A lot of guys play with a lot of those kinds of things," he said earlier this month, per ESPN. The injury popped up vs. Vegas in Week 12. Denver had a Monday night game in Week 13, and then a Week 14 bye. "I wasn't going to miss the first Monday night game. I got treatment on it, and then we were fortunate to have an off week that next week. It kind of went away after that. It was annoying, but we all play with annoying [ailments]," he said. Nix played well down the stretch, ultimately finishing as the QB8 in total fantasy points.

Then he hit WR Devaughn Vele from six yards out on a well-placed pass to the back corner of the end zone. Nix had a tougher time in the second half, though, totaling just 108 scoreless yards. The Chargers ratcheted up the pressure on Nix over the final 30 minutes and eliminated Denver's downfield passing game.
