2023 Fantasy Outlook
Nixon joined the Patriots as a seventh-rounder in the 2021 NFL Draft. The UCF product spent each of the past two seasons on the team's practice squad, and this year he'll look to secure a depth spot in wideout corps that currently features JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne.

Shifts to injured reserve
Nixon (shoulder) reverted to injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Nixon heads to New England's injured reserve after clearing waivers. The 2021 seventh-round pick will now miss the entire 2023 campaign, barring an injury settlement. Nixon secured four passes for 23 yards during the preseason opener but failed to catch any of his three targets before leaving the Patriots' second exhibition due to a shoulder injury.

Making push for roster spot
Chad Graff of The Athletic identified Nixon as one of the Patriots' players whose stock rose the most after the team's preseason opener Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Nixon recorded four catches for 81 yards during New England's first preseason game against the Giants on Thursday, reinforcing the positive impression he's made during the first few weeks of training camp. The 2021 seventh-round pick spent his rookie season on the Patriots' practice squad, but he could make a push for a spot in the team's relatively thin group of wide receivers heading into the 2022 regular season. New England coach Bill Belichick said after Thursday's preseason game that Nixon is "one of the hardest working players on the team," and making an impact on special teams could further cement his spot on the team's final 53-man roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Nixon, who the Patriots took in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft, remains behind DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor in the team's wideout pecking order, plus rookie second-rounder Tyquan Thornton seems destined to secure a roster spot ahead of Week 1. Nixon is thus among several players who will vie for depth slotting as the summer rolls along, and even if the 6-foot, 187-pounder does stick, there's not a clear path to steady targets for the 24-year-old UCF product.
