How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Nix scores 14.4 standard points a game, QB23 of 34 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 6.4 and 22.2; 1 boom week (25+) and 3 busts (under 12). Next up, in Week 9, the Panthers allow the 15th-fewest standard points to QBs, 16.8 a game.

How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the QB12 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He works the sidelines: 10% of his attempts go between the numbers (league 20%). The blitz gets to him: -0.26 EPA a dropback when blitzed against not (league -0.10). He stays in the pocket: 3% of his dropbacks end in a scramble (league 4%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own dropbacks, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying quarterbacks; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Nix's -5.2 EPA is 27th of 38 quarterbacks. The biggest share comes after the catch (+128.3, 87th percentile per dropback). His sacks rank in the 93rd percentile (-14.3). Air yards cost him more than most (-22.2, 1st percentile).
career +0.08 over 2024–2025 · the lowest of his 3 seasons
How this is measured
Every dropback and run this season, split by what happened. Completions divide at the catch: the yards in the air, and his credited share of what came after (nflverse's air EPA and QB EPA). Per dropback counts scrambles as dropbacks. The percentile is him among the qualifying quarterbacks, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 50 attempts.
He throws behind middle 2.1× as often as the league (4% of his attempts against 2%) but averages -0.85 EPA a throw there.
How this is measured
Every pass attempt with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three throws show no EPA.

Dropbacks are steady: 30.7 a game over his last three against 32.5 for the season. At or above a starter's median in yards in 3 of 8 games.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 2nd-toughest slate vs the pass: his opponents rank 12.1 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 2 of his next 9 are top-10 vs the pass and 5 are bottom-10, starting with the Panthers (16th, away) in Week 9.
