2023 Fantasy Outlook
No one envisioned Nixon becoming a threat in the return game when he joined the Packers last offseason, but that's exactly what happened, and he wound up being named an All-Pro returner. He also fared pretty well at his designated position of cornerback. Nixon will continue handling the return duties and working as a reserve defensive back in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
Re-ups with Green Bay
The Packers are re-signing Nixon to a three-year, $18 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Nixon was named a first-team All-Pro in both 2022 and 2023 as a return man, but last season is when he saw his defensive role heightened, playing a career-high 809 snaps with the majority of those coming as the Packers' slot corner. He remained extremely effective on kickoff returns, averaging an NFL-best 26.1 yards per return while leading the league in total kickoff returns (30) and yards (782). On defense, Nixon racked up 80 tackles (59 solo), one interception and 0.5 sacks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Market uncertain
Nixon may be priced out of the Packers' range in free agency, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
A pending free agent, Nixon's market is difficult to evaluate given his dual role as an All-Pro kick returner and a solid option as a nickel cornerback. The 26-year-old played last season on a one-year contract worth $4 million, and while Nixon has said he would prefer to remain in Green Bay, it wouldn't be surprising if another team with a need in both areas presented him with a contract offer he couldn't turn down.
