- : Rookie Joe Fagnano to start Thursday night vs. Jaguars, Jesse Minter says (ESPN)
Start Bo Nix: 100 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Joe Fagnano's 78 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size302 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Bo Nix, and the board ranks him 80th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Fagnano, and the board ranks him 200th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
Bo Nix's market-based projection is 16.0 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 13th highest figure of the 213 players with a market-based projection.
The market-based projection for Joe Fagnano is 9.6 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 9 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Joe Fagnano's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Bo Nix has been on the field for 100 percent of DEN snaps, dropped back 268 times and thrown 5.4 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 26 of 268 dropbacks and scrambled 8 times.
In Week 6 against SEA he completed 17 of 27 passes for 107 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 3 times for 3 yards.
In Week 7 against ARI he completed 15 of 29 passes for 222 yards, threw 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions and ran 5 times for 75 yards.
In Week 8 against KC he completed 20 of 32 passes for 222 yards, threw 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions and ran 2 times for 5 yards.
Through Week 8, Joe Fagnano has been on the field for 78 percent of BAL snaps, dropped back 25 times and thrown 4.3 air yards an attempt.
He has been sacked or hit on 9 of 25 dropbacks and scrambled 1 time.
In Week 8 against BUF he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 4 yards.
Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Bo Nix played 17 games and scored 315.8 PPR points, 18.6 a game, finishing QB7.
He threw for 3931 yards on 612 attempts with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and ran for 356 yards and 5 touchdowns.
That came to 36.0 attempts a game at 6.4 yards an attempt.
He was on the field for 100 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Joe Fagnano is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
Head to head
This season Bo Nix holds the bigger snap share, 100 percent against 78 percent.
Their target share this season is the same, 0 percent each.
Byes and availability
