2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Career-high 88 tackles in 2024
Nixon finished the 2024 regular season with 88 tackles (61 solo), including 3.0 sacks, seven pass defenses (including one interception) and three forced fumbles across 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Nixon's sack count in 2024 eclipses his combined total from the first five seasons of his NFL career, and the 27-year-old corner finished fourth on the Packers in total tackles behind Quay Walker (102), Isaiah McDuffie (97) and Javon Bullard (90). Nixon also showed his prowess as a returner, finishing with 528 kickoff-return yards on 18 attempts. Nixon is projected to be the Packers' second starting outside corner for the 2025 campaign, though whether that's opposite Jaire Alexander (knee) or someone else remains to be seen.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not interested in returning kicks
Nixon wants to focus on being a full-time cornerback and no longer return kicks in 2025, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Nixon has been Green Bay's primary punt returner since signing with the team in 2022. However, his defensive snap count has risen significantly the last two seasons and Nixon hopes to establish himself as the top corner for the team in 2025, a role that could become available if Jaire Alexander is a cap casualty this offseason. Nixon will hit free agency again in 2026 without a contract extension.
