Kansas City's pass rush is stout and their secondary clamps down on receivers, forcing Denver into a constrained offensive game. Nix projects to 233 total yards—well short of 247.5—because he'll face consistent pressure that limits his ability to extend plays and find downfield targets. His 4.3 rushing yards per carry and minimal receiving role (0.1 targets per game) mean the bulk of his production comes from passing attempts that Kansas City's defense will compress. In a neutral game script, Nix stays under the line.
