2025 Fantasy Outlook
An All-Pro return man in both 2022 and 2023, Nixon was more involved on defense than ever before in 2024, and he responded with career highs in both the tackle (88) and sack (3.0) departments. If he continues returning kicks, that will improve his fantasy profile, but it's unclear if he'll do so, as he's set to occupy a starting cornerback spot in Green Bay's secondary. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $18 million contract with the Packers in March of 2024.
Under the weather
Nixon is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Nixon did not appear on the Packers' injury report this past week, indicating that his illness is a new issue. The severity of the illness isn't clear, and his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Packers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Nate Hobbs (knee), Kamal Hadden and Bo Melton would be candidates to see more work at outside corner opposite Carrington Valentine if Nixon is not cleared to play.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Nixon was a key player for the Packers the last two years, and the two sides decided to extend their partnership for three more seasons. He's filled a versatile role and figures to continue seeing ample action both on defense and special teams. The latter should come as no surprise, as he was named first-team All-Pro in both of the past two campaigns at the returner spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Confidence in continued improvement
The Packers have confidence Nixon will be able to take the next step in his development this season and help make up for the departure of Jaire Alexander, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nixon will be entering his fourth season in Green Bay in 2025, and after performing well as a starter over the last two seasons alongside Alexander, he now arguably profiles as the Packers' No. 1 cornerback. General manager Brian Gutekunst has expressed confidence in Nixon and position mates Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine, saying, "We've got three really good starting corners that we really like quite a bit."
