Get ready for Week 4 with the 60XI Fantasy Football Intel Report — Week 4 fantasy football rankings, start/sit guidance, matchup analysis, waiver wire targets, and buy-low/sell-high candidates built around one question: why? This week, we go beyond traditional fantasy football rankings by combining player usage, snap share, target share, red-zone opportunities, defensive matchups, QB pressure data, and actual on-field performance to find where the numbers and the eye test agree — and where they don't. In the Week 4 Intel Report: • QB Rankings & Matchups — including Brock Purdy, Drake Maye, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jared Goff and more • RB Rankings & Usage Trends — who's actually getting the snaps, touches, targets and red-zone work • WR Rankings & Target Share — identifying opportunity before the fantasy points show up • TE Rankings & Breakouts — including why usage matters more than name recognition • Week 4 Start/Sit Guidance — where the matchup and underlying data support the ranking • Buy Low / Sell High Candidates — finding players whose fantasy production doesn't match their opportunity • Waiver Wire & Breakout Watch — players whose roles may be changing before the market catches up • Eyes + Data — what happens when the film and fantasy football analytics tell us two different stories? We dig into players including Tetairoa McMillan, Ashton Jeanty, Chase Brown, Josh Downs, Derrick Henry, DeVonta Smith, Christian Watson, Colston Loveland, Sam LaPorta and more. Fantasy football isn't just about what happened last week. It's about understanding why it happened — and whether it's likely to happen again. That's the difference between chasing points and finding opportunity. 60XI: The Fantasy Football Briefing — Play Smarter.

New to 60XI: The Fantasy Football Briefing? Start here. Cody explains why he created a fantasy football podcast built for people who want to stay competitive without spending hours each week on games, spreadsheets, and podcasts. Each weekly Briefing covers quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, flex, kickers, and defenses in 15 minutes or less—with clear starts, close calls, and the trends that matter before kickoff. Want the deeper analysis? The Extended Cut arrives later in the week. Find our top ten players at each position and the trends we’re tracking at play60xi.com. Play Smarter.

The Briefing goes deeper. In this Week 3 Extended Cut, 60XI breaks down the waiver wire by position — not by chasing last week's fantasy points, but by looking for the opportunities that could create the next ones. We dig into quarterback streamers, changing running back workloads, emerging wide receiver target and route profiles, the few tight ends worth considering, and the 60XI Vegas Rule for finding defenses and kickers. Every name comes with the evidence behind it, what we'd do with it, and what could make the read wrong. Plus: the players we're stashing before the opportunity arrives — and one waiver-wire trap we're staying away from. The waiver wire isn't about finding out what happened. It's about figuring out what might happen next. Play Smarter. More 60XI Intel: play60xi.com/football

Week 3 isn’t about chasing the players who scored last week. It’s about understanding why they scored—and whether the opportunity will still be there Sunday. This week on 60XI: The Briefing, we’re going beyond rankings. Which quarterbacks are walking into real pressure risk? When the pocket collapses, do they look for a wide receiver, a tight end, a running back—or never get the throw away? We’ll examine whether Jaylen Waddle’s ten-target breakout represents a real change, whether Denzel Boston’s rising route and target shares can continue, and which injury-created roles are legitimate starts rather than one-week traps. Plus: do the best fantasy kickers actually come from the most potent offenses? The early results say yes—but only partly. More names. Better context. Decisions you can actually use. This is 60XI: The Briefing. Play Smarter.

Bonus episode: Published research shows even the best fantasy projection models only explain about 20% of what happens week to week. So why does every fantasy site still hand you a ranking that pretends to know who finishes WR14 versus WR15? In this episode, Cody breaks down why 60XI ditched precise rankings for a four-tier system (Activate / Flex / Fallback / Avoid), the actual math behind that decision, and gets brutally honest about the game film work he's doing that no stat line captures — including tracking when a receiver gives up on a route before it ever shows up as a drop.

The market has Mike Gesicki at TE27 and projects him for under six points. He was targeted on a third of his snaps last week — the highest rate of any tight end in the NFL. We think he's a start. One of us is wrong, and next week we'll tell you which. This week on 60XI The Briefing: tiers, not rankings, for QB, RB, WR, TE and FLEX — because ordering two players next to each other is a coin flip, and we'll show you the numbers that prove it. Plus why kicker and defense rankings are noise, and the points your guys actually earned last week that never made the box score. Every week we publish where we disagree with the market, and every week we come back and grade it. The market, us, or neither. Full data behind the show at play60xi.com — download 60XI Intel.
