LOCK RULE (proven twice): at gametime every player is locked; even set_lineup FAILS outright because A.J. Brown (IR) can't be moved to BN → any unnamed-player benching is rejected. A bad/incomplete lineup is UNFIXABLE after kickoff. RULE: on the pre-kickoff turn, set and verify the FULL lineup first (all 9 slots filled, no empty WR2), then adds/drops, then research. Week 1 self-inflicted hole: WR2 left empty (~7 pts lost). Never again.
TRADE OUT NOW (wk1 propose window): offered RJ Harvey [12489] for Romeo Doubs [8121] to Terra McLaurin (agent-05), thread trade-agent-...-team-08-agent-...-team-05-w1, 0 FAAB. Pitch: they have 6 pass-catchers and Braelon Allen at RB2 (Bucky Irving Q, C-Rod committee); I have A.J. Brown + Alec Pierce on IR, Flowers questionable, IR full. If countered: I'd consider adding up to ~$10 FAAB, or giving Harvey + Chig Okonkwo for Doubs + Jakobi Meyers if Okonkwo is still hurt. DO NOT give up Cook, Jeremiyah Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts, Deebo. If they counter for Flowers or Deebo, refuse — I need both with the IR damage.
If no reply by wk2, re-propose to agent-05 or scan other rosters via get_standings/get_matchup in a later propose window (I have not seen any other team's roster yet — worth 1 lookup next propose turn).
WEEK 2 INTEL (don't re-search): Zay Flowers OUT wk2 (hamstring, aggravated wk1, back at practice Fri → short absence; CONFIRM wk3 status before starting). Chig Okonkwo OUT wk2 (hamstring, no Wed practice) — if still out wk3-4, DROP for a healthy TE; never start him. Deebo no injury news → plays. A.J. Brown and Alec Pierce on IR, both IR spots FULL.
MOVES PENDING — do FIRST on next pre-kickoff turn, in order:
1. add_free_agent Jordan Love [6804] (GB QB1, bye 11), DROP Zach Charbonnet [9753] (SEA PUP, depth 5). Fixes no-backup-QB hole behind Hurts (bye 10). Fallbacks: Darnold(SEA,11), Shough(NO,8), Willis(MIA,6), Stroud(HOU,8), D.Jones(IND,13). Don't re-search QB wire.
2. WR depth is the real problem (only Deebo + M.Wash healthy while Flowers out). Targets: Malachi Fields (NYG,8), Pat Bryant (DEN,10), Tre' Harris (LAC,7), Xavier Hutchinson (HOU). Add ONE after Love is secured. Already rostered elsewhere: Jalen Coker, Kaelon Black, Tetairoa McMillan, Justice Hill.
3. If bench space allows, drop Okonkwo for a 2nd add (only if he's still out wk3).
LINEUP TEMPLATE wk3 (FILL ALL 9 SLOTS): QB Hurts; RB1 Cook; RB2 Jeremiyah Love; WR1 Deebo; WR2 Flowers IF HEALTHY else Malik Washington; FLEX Allgeier or Harvey (Doubs if the trade lands); TE Kraft; K Butker; DEF MIN. Bench: Okonkwo, J.Love, extra WR/RB. Verify Flowers' status before locking WR2.
ROSTER: Cook(BUF), Jeremiyah Love(ARI), Deebo(SF), M.Wash(MIA), Flowers(BAL-inj), RJ Harvey(DEN, offered in trade), Allgeier(ARI), Charbonnet(SEA-PUP→DROP), Hurts(PHI), Kraft(GB), Okonkwo(WAS-inj), Butker(KC), MIN(DEF). IR FULL: A.J. Brown(NE), Alec Pierce(IND).
RESEARCH: 8/wk budget. Spend on: (1) Flowers wk3 status, (2) Okonkwo timeline, (3) ARI backfield/QB — confirm Jeremiyah Love RB1, (4) MIN DEF matchup, (5) Deebo/Harvey usage after wk2 stats. Don't burn calls on things I can't act on.
BYES: Hurts10, J.Love(QB)11 | Cook7, J.Love(RB)14, Harvey10, Allgeier14 | Brown11, Flowers13, Deebo8, M.Wash6 | Kraft11, Okonkwo7 | Butker5, MIN6. Gaps: wk6 DEF+M.Wash; wk7 Cook+Okonkwo; wk8 Deebo; wk10 Hurts+Harvey; wk11 Kraft+Brown; wk13 Flowers; wk14 J.Love(RB)+Allgeier. Doubs is bye 11 (would collide with Kraft/Brown wk11) — factor in if acquired.

TRADE STATUS (wk1 respond turn): get_trade_inbox was EMPTY — nothing to accept/reject. My RJ Harvey→Romeo Doubs offer to Terra McLaurin (agent-05) never returned as a thread and no trade involving me appears in the wk1 log; agent-05 added Hunter Henry + Spencer Shrader instead. Consider that route dead. Harvey stays mine (DEN, bye 10) and is now a FLEX/bench asset, not a trade chip I'm actively shopping. Next propose window: use get_standings + get_matchup to scan 2-3 rosters for a WR-needy team with spare WR depth. My ask: WR depth for RB depth (Harvey or Allgeier). DO NOT give up Cook, Jeremiyah Love, Kraft, Flowers, Hurts, Deebo.
LOCK RULE (proven twice): at gametime every player is locked; set_lineup FAILS outright if an IR/PUP guy can't be moved → any incomplete lineup is rejected. A bad lineup is UNFIXABLE after kickoff.

WEEK 2 INTEL (don't re-search): Zay Flowers OUT wk2 (hamstring, aggravated wk1; back at practice Fri → short absence. CONFIRM wk3 status before starting him). Chig Okonkwo OUT wk2 (hamstring, no Wed practice) — if still out wk3-4, DROP for a healthy TE; never start him. Deebo: no injury news → plays. A.J. Brown and Alec Pierce on IR, both IR spots FULL.
MOVES PENDING — do FIRST on next pre-kickoff turn, in this order:
1. add_free_agent Jordan Love [6804] (GB QB1, bye 11); DROP Zach Charbonnet [9753] (SEA PUP, depth-5 RB). Fixes the no-backup-QB hole behind Hurts (bye 10). Fallbacks: Darnold(SEA,11), Shough(NO,8), Willis(MIA,6), Stroud(HOU,8), D.Jones(IND,13). Don't re-search the QB wire.

LINEUP TEMPLATE wk3 (FILL ALL 9 SLOTS): QB Hurts; RB1 Cook; RB2 Jeremiyah Love; WR1 Deebo; WR2 Flowers IF HEALTHY else Malik Washington; FLEX Allgeier or Harvey; TE Kraft; K Butker; DEF MIN. Bench: Okonkwo, J.Love, extra WR/RB. Verify Flowers' status before locking WR2.
ROSTER: Cook(BUF), Jeremiyah Love(ARI), Deebo(SF), M.Wash(MIA), Flowers(BAL-inj), RJ Harvey(DEN), Allgeier(ARI), Charbonnet(SEA-PUP→DROP), Hurts(PHI), Kraft(GB), Okonkwo(WAS-inj), Butker(KC), MIN(DEF). IR FULL: A.J. Brown(NE), Alec Pierce(IND).
RESEARCH: 8/wk budget, 7 unused this week. Spend only on: (1) Flowers wk3 status, (2) Okonkwo timeline, (3) ARI backfield — confirm Jeremiyah Love is RB1, (4) MIN DEF matchup, (5) Deebo/Harvey usage after wk2 stats. Don't burn calls on things I can't act on.
