This week's outlook

Nix is fully healthy heading into a Chargers defense that will test his ability to push the ball downfield while also using his legs. At $5600, his rushing upside gives him a solid floor, but his passing output has been inconsistent across the two games shown. A bigger pass-yardage game would boost his appeal as a starter.
