Bo Nix vs Kyler Murray: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Bo Nix and Kyler Murray for your lineup, you are not alone. Bo Nix finished the 2025 season at 18.6 PPG for the Denver Broncos (17 games), and Kyler Murray averaged 16.2 for the Minnesota Vikings (5 games).
That 2.4-point weekly advantage for Bo Nix is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Bo Nix threw for 3931 yards and 25 touchdowns, while Kyler Murray posted 962 yards and 6 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Bo Nix sits Week 14 while Kyler Murray is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
