Bo Nix and Daniel Jones were not viewed as elite quarterbacks heading into the season. Jones was viewed as a mid-level quarterback, and while Bo Nix had some hype, he was still viewed as someone too young to have much value in fantasy. Despite that, both players have emerged as strong starting quarterbacks for teams that have been strong in the first half of the season.
Here is a look at which player is the better option for fantasy football in Week 8.
Bo Nix Fantasy Outlook
Quarterback Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos are coming off a monumental comeback against the New York Giants. They entered the fourth quarter down 19-0 but managed to score 33 points in the fourth quarter to win 33-32. They are now set to play the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
According to Fantasy Pros, Bo Nix is the No. 6-ranked QB in fantasy points generated and No. 9-ranked in fantasy points per game. He has completed 160 of 256 passing attempts for 1556 yards and 11 TDs. Now, the Broncos are getting ready to play a game against the Dallas Cowboys, who have a weak defense.
Daniel Jones Fantasy Outlook
Quarterback Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts have been a big surprise this season. The team is coming off a 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers and is set to play the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Jones is the No. 5-ranked QB in fantasy points this season, and No. 7-ranked in fantasy points per game. He has completed 152 of 214 passing attempts for 1790 yards and 10 TDs.

Bo Nix vs. Daniel Jones Starting Verdict
While Bo Nix has had a strong season, Daniel Jones is the better player to start in Week 8. Jones has been better in fantasy this season than Nix by a small margin. He has been more consistent, and his team has been better.
Additionally, the Colts are up against one of the weakest teams in the league in the Tennessee Titans, this week. As a result, Jones should be set to have another big performance.
