60XI The Briefing

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.

Week 1 is here. In this episode of 60XI: The Briefing, we move beyond the obvious starters and focus on the decisions that can actually swing your matchup. We break down the Week 1 landscape by position—QB, RB, WR, TE, kicker and defense—separating the clear starters from the players in the decision tier. We’ll identify favorable matchups, risky situations, backfields worth monitoring and the midrange players who could outperform expectations. Using the 60XI dual lens, we compare what the eye test tells us with what the data supports—then turn those signals into clear, actionable guidance. Who should you start? Who should you sit? Who deserves a spot on your watchlist? Everything you need for Week 1, in 15 minutes or less. Play Smarter.
