A month into the season is enough sample size to draw conclusions about NFL offenses and player utilization. However, the fantasy season is barreling towards the business section of the calendar where at least 1-2 teams in a league are looking toward 2025 already. Here are the key NFL and fantasy observations at the quarterback position:

Cleveland

Deshaun Watson has not been as bad as advertised in Cleveland. Watson has produced an above average number of high-level throws and avoided turnovers, two massive data traits for successful quarterbacks. His 3.50 ratio of those two stats is well beyond the threshold for higher-level quarterback play (2.00). Watson is widely available in superflex dynasty leagues and a solid trade strategy if needing help at quarterback.

Denver

Bo Nix is on a Bryce Young-type trajectory. Denver's offense lacks playmakers around Nix, but Nix's results through the opening month are very 2023 Bryce Young-esque in terms of lacking bigger plays and generally limiting the offense. The most glaring trait Nix exhibited at a superior level to Young a year ago is his ability to avoid sacks. It is early, but the signs on Bo Nix are negative and pointing to a massive step needed in 2025.
