Broncos don't plan to bench QB Bo Nix

Oct 19, 2026

On Monday, Sean Payton was asked by reporters whether he has considered making a quarterback change.

“To answer your question, no,” Payton said. “[Bo Nix is] going to become the byproduct of all the finer things that get improved. The improved play from our offensive line, the more efficient we are relative to balance, running the football. That’s our jobs as coaches here. We talked after the game about we’re excited to get that win, and yet at the same time find that improvement we need in all areas. So, it starts with all of us.”

Fantasy Impact:

Nix threw for just over 100 yards last week and had a YPA of just under 4. Aside from Weeks 2 and 3, Nix hasn't offered fantasy owners too much in terms of production. Needless to say, the team seems to be very careful in their play calls for Nix, not attempting much in the way in anything down the field. Last week we had Nix ranked 25th, which put him just out of QB2 range in a 12 team league.

Falcons sign QB Andy Dalton, cut QB Cooper Rush

Pro Football Talk

The Falcons are making a change in their quarterback room.

Andy Dalton is signing with Atlanta, and he’ll take up the roster spot the Falcons will open up by cutting Cooper Rush, according to multiple reports.

Related players: Michael Penix Jr., Tua Tagovailoa, Jack Strand

Fantasy Impact:

It was reported the Eagles were interested in bringing back Dalton but he declined and signed with the Falcons. Dalton probably slides in as the QB3 in Atlanta, but as the story pointed out, Penix and Tua have had their injury issues, which probably factored into Dalton's decision.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts out for season with blood clots in lungs

Jalen Hurts will be out for the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in his lungs.

Related players: Tanner McKee, Joe Milton

Fantasy Impact:

Hurts's agent released a statement that Hurts will continue to be around the team and get blood thinners, and has no function limitations. He'll have to avoid football activities. She added she expects Hurts to make a full recovery and it will have no long-term effects, which is obviously great news. From a fantasy angle, McKee should remain the starter for at least the short term. While he flashed at times in a loss to the Panthers, overall it wasn't a great performance. The Eagles signed Joe Milton away from the Cowboys last week, and with Hurts now out for the year and the Eagles sitting at 2-4, it wouldn't be a surprise for the Eagles to see what they have with Milton. The team has not signed Hurts to an extension at this point and those who follow the team will say there is a chance the Eagles move on from Hurts after this year. GM Howie Roseman has set the team up with several early draft picks over the next two seasons so it's also possible they make a move for a QB in the draft.

Cardinals RB Zonovan Knight suffered full body cramps

Zonovan Knight rushed for 80 yards on just 15 carries.

Knight might've had more. He suffered full body cramps much of the second half, limiting his playing time (and perhaps taking a piece from the Cardinals' red zone package.)
Related players: Tyler Allgeier, Jeremiyah Love

Fantasy Impact:

With Love out, Allgeier looked to be a decent fantasy play in a tough matchup against the Rams. But it turned out to be Knight who was a much more efficient back. Allgeier had just 38 yards on 18 carries. If this seems familiar, Knight had a few games last season where he averaged over 4 YPC for the Cardinals and was likely at least a fantasy flex option. He added four TDs last season as well. If Love remains out, it seems like Knight will have a chance to at least earn some carries away from Allgeier.
