HARD RULE (confirmed twice): at gametime everything is LOCKED and set_lineup is rejected. ALL lineup/waiver/trade/IR actions must happen in the turn BEFORE the week's first kickoff. Week 2 opens Sun Sept 20 1pm ET — act first thing.
TOOL REALITY CHECK: my action tools are only set_lineup + research/read calls. If add/drop/move_to_ir/propose_trade tools appear next turn, use them EARLY. Roster currently shows A.J. Brown on BN with injuryStatus "IR" and Charbonnet on BN with PUP — if an IR tool exists, stash both on IR to free 2 bench slots for adds. Do NOT drop Malik Washington (only healthy WR2 with Flowers out).
INJURY FACTS (researched wk1, don't re-spend budget): A.J. Brown — high ankle sprain, IR, Rapoport says ~6 weeks, no surgery; realistic return wk6 vs NYJ, more likely wk8 @MIA. HOLD, do not trade away for pennies. Zay Flowers (BAL) hamstring — out wk2 vs NO, return wk3 @DAL. Charbonnet PUP (SEA RB4). Pierce (IND) Out. Harvey (DEN) Questionable depth2. Okonkwo (WAS) Questionable depth1. Also: Kyler Murray concussion wk1, Carson Wentz threw 3 TDs — CHECK MURRAY STATUS wk2 (affects Love/Allgeier value). Mike Evans (SF, on T05 Terra) questionable. Nico Collins (T05) questionable.
WK2 LINEUP PLAN (set pre-kickoff): QB Hurts (@TEN, top-3 ranked). RB Cook (vs DET), RB Love (vs SEA). WR Deebo (vs LAR), WR Malik Washington (@LV). TE Kraft (@MIN). FLEX Tyler Allgeier (vs SEA — NFL.com listed him as a top-7 wk2 waiver RB, and I already own him; Charbonnet PUP so he's ARI's RB2). K Butker. DEF MIN (@CHI). Bench: Harvey, Pierce, Okonkwo, Charbonnet, Brown.
WAIVER TARGETS wk2 (NFL.com wire, 0% rostered tier): WR Jalen Coker (CAR) @ATL — my top add for the empty WR3/depth; WR Devaughn Vele (NO) @BAL; WR Caleb Douglas (MIA) @SF; RB Kaelon Black (SF) vs MIA; TE Michael Mayer (LV) @LAC. McMillan is gone (Kimi won with $22). FAAB $100 — spend up to ~$25 for Coker given I have zero healthy WR depth behind Deebo/Washington, ~$10 max elsewhere.
TRADE: Okonkwo + Harvey to T03 Grok (no TE) for Pittman (6819) or Matthew Golden. Buy low on Mike Evans/Doubs/Tate from T05 Terra (Evans questionable = discount) but NOT for a player I need this week. Never trade Cook, Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts. Don't send a WR to that week's opponent.
WK2 OPPONENT T05 Terra: Herbert, CMC, Nico Collins(Q), Rashee Rice, Tyler Warren, Mike Evans(Q), Braelon Allen, KC D, Shrader; bench Bucky Irving, Tate, C.Rodriguez, Doubs, Meyers, Jordan Mason(IR). Their weakness: RB2 (Braelon Allen) and possibly Evans/Collins if both sit.
BYES: Hurts10; Cook7, Love14, Harvey10, Allgeier14, Charbonnet11; Brown11, Flowers13, Pierce13, Deebo8, M.Washington6; Kraft11, Okonkwo7; Butker5; MIN6. Gaps: wk6 DEF+Washington; wk7 Cook+Okonkwo; wk8 Deebo; wk10 Hurts+Harvey; wk11 Kraft+Charbonnet+Brown; wk13 Flowers+Pierce; wk14 Love+Allgeier.
Research calls left: 6. Next spend: (1) Kyler Murray status, (2) Flowers/BAL confirmation Tue, (3) Coker target-share read.

HARD RULE (confirmed 3x): at gametime everything is LOCKED and set_lineup is rejected. ALL lineup/waiver/trade/IR actions must happen in the turn BEFORE the week's first kickoff. Week 2 opens Sun Sept 20 1pm ET — act first thing, and use add/drop/move_to_ir EARLY in the turn.
OPEN TRADES: (1) T05 Terra thread trade-...-team-05-...-team-08-w1: they offered Meyers(5947, JAX, Questionable, depth3) for Allgeier — REJECTED. My counter (1 of 3): Harvey(12489) for Doubs(8121, NE WR1). Fallback: Harvey for Tate, or add FAAB. Do NOT give up Allgeier or accept Meyers. (2) T03 Grok: offered Okonkwo(8210)+M.Washington(11610)+$10 FAAB for Pittman(6819, IND WR1). Okonkwo is Questionable so he may decline — if so, drop the Okonkwo ask and retry with Kraft-for-Pittman only if I can still start a TE, otherwise pivot to Matthew Golden(12501, GB WR2) for Okonkwo alone. FAAB now $90 if accepted.
INJURY FACTS (wk1 research, don't re-spend): A.J. Brown high ankle sprain, IR, ~6 wks, return wk6 vs NYJ or wk8 @MIA — HOLD, don't sell low. Zay Flowers (BAL) hamstring out wk2 vs NO, back wk3 @DAL. Charbonnet PUP (SEA RB4). Pierce (IND) Out. Harvey (DEN) Questionable depth2. Okonkwo (WAS) Questionable depth1. Kyler Murray concussion wk1 (Wentz threw 3 TDs) — STILL UNCONFIRMED, check wk2 (drives Love/Allgeier value). Mike Evans (SF, T05) and Nico Collins (T05) both questionable.
WK2 LINEUP (set pre-kickoff, everything locks at 1pm): QB Hurts (@TEN). RB Cook (vs DET), RB Love (vs SEA). WR Deebo (vs LAR), WR M.Washington (@LV) — unless Pittman/Doubs arrives, then Washington sits. TE Kraft (@MIN). FLEX Allgeier (vs SEA, ARI RB2 with Charbonnet on PUP). K Butker. DEF MIN (@CHI). Bench/IR: Brown, Charbonnet (both to IR if tool exists → frees 2 slots), Harvey, Pierce, Okonkwo.
WAIVER TARGETS wk2: WR Jalen Coker (CAR) @ATL — top add, bid up to $25 given zero healthy WR depth. Then WR Devaughn Vele (NO) @BAL, WR Caleb Douglas (MIA) @SF, RB Kaelon Black (SF) vs MIA, TE Michael Mayer (LV) @LAC ($10 max). McMillan already claimed ($22 by Kimi).
NEVER TRADE: Cook, Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts. Don't send a WR to that week's opponent.
WK2 OPPONENT T05 Terra: Herbert, CMC, Nico Collins(Q), Rashee Rice, Tyler Warren, Mike Evans(Q), Braelon Allen, KC D, Shrader; bench Bucky Irving, Tate, C.Rodriguez, Doubs, Meyers, Jordan Mason(IR). Weakness = RB2.
