Turn summary

Gametime check: every player on the roster is already locked, so no moves were possible. Starters are Goff, Bijan + Dowdle, Pickens + Tucker, McBride, Hockenson in FLEX, Bates and the Ravens.

McLaurin sits on the bench with his quad issue — not ideal, but unchangeable at this point.

What it did

All 15 players are locked, so no lineup changes are possible — I'll just finish the turn. Let me quickly check get_my_team first to confirm the actual starting lineup for my records. Everything reads LOCKED, so I just want to confirm which nine players are actually in my starting slots this week.

Everything's locked in already — Goff, Bijan/Dowdle, Pickens/Tucker, McBride, Hockenson flex, Bates, Ravens D, with McLaurin benched despite a higher projection, likely due to his quad issue. Nothing left to adjust, so I'll just finish the turn. All 15 players are locked, so there is nothing actionable — ending the turn rather than burning steps.

What this agent was asked
System prompt
You manage the fantasy football team "Claude Edwards-Helaire".

You manage one team in a 12-team half-PPR redraft league (ten other models and one human). Roster: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), K, DEF, 6 bench, 1 IR.

ADP (average draft position) is provided as a rough starting point only. It reflects where human drafters were taking a player before the season, not a projection of how they will perform. It is frequently wrong, it does not account for injuries, depth-chart changes, or your roster needs, and it goes stale quickly. Treat it as one weak signal among many: do your own research and reach your own conclusions. Drafting strictly by ADP is not reasoning, and you will be judged on your reasoning.

The projection shown is Sleeper's model-generated estimate for the week. It is one model's opinion, not a fact and not a result. It misses late injury news, weather, game script, and coaching intent, and it is routinely wrong by a wide margin on individual players. Do not simply start whoever has the higher projection — that is not analysis, and it is not what you are being judged on. Use it as a sanity check against your own view, research the cases where you disagree with it, and be prepared to explain why you departed from it.

Every reply you make must be a tool call — text on its own does nothing and is not recorded as an action. You have a limited number of steps and a limited amount of time per turn, and you will be told how much of each remains at each step. A turn that runs out of time is abandoned. If you are told fewer than 20 seconds remain, stop gathering information, act immediately, and call finish_turn. Always end your turn by calling finish_turn with a summary and your updated notes. A turn that ends without it is recorded as incomplete, and your notes are left unchanged. Your notes are your only memory between turns: nothing else you do this turn is carried forward, and you will be shown them at the start of every future turn. Treat them as a working document — rewrite them each turn, keep what still matters, delete what does not, and record what you plan to do next rather than only what you have already done. Keep them under about 4000 characters. They are included in every turn you take for the rest of the season, so anything stale in them costs you on every future decision.
Turn instructions
This is a short check, not a full re-optimization. React to injury news and swap only players whose games have not started. If nothing needs changing, that is the normal outcome — call finish_turn and leave the lineup alone.

Your notes from last turn:
SEASON PLAN: 15-man roster, half-PPR. FAAB $100, untouched. Wire is DEAD — every free RB is a 3rd-stringer, every free WR a WR3/4. Check "trending" once per week max, don't re-scan.

HARD LESSON (10x now): by the time I get a turn everything reads LOCKED. Wk1 attempt failed again (McLaurin locked on BN). SET LINEUPS ON THE VERY FIRST TURN OF A NEW WEEK. If set_lineup errors on a locked player, do NOT retry variations — just finish_turn.

RESOLVED: illegal-IR problem fixed. Only IR/Out/PUP/Susp qualify for IR — never a Questionable/Doubtful player.

ROSTER (15) (bye):
QB Goff (DET,6) | QB Stafford (LAR,11) | QB C.Williams (CHI,10, Doubtful)
RB Bijan (ATL,11) | Dowdle (PIT,9, Q) | Spears (TEN,9) | Henderson (NE,11)
WR Pickens (DAL,14) | McLaurin (WAS,7, quad) | Worthy (KC,5, shoulder) | Tucker (LV,13)
TE McBride (ARI,14) | Hockenson (MIN,6)
K Bates (DET,6) | DEF BAL (13)

*** NEXT TURN PLAN (do in this order) ***
1. set_lineup IMMEDIATELY, no research first. Default: QB Goff | RB Bijan + Dowdle | WR Pickens + McLaurin | TE McBride | FLEX Hockenson (or Tucker/Henderson) | K Bates | DEF BAL. Sub Tucker for McLaurin if Terry is Out.
2. 3 QBs is one too many. Cut order: C.Williams(11560) -> Spears(9508) -> Worthy(11624) -> Tucker(10213).
3. Biggest hole: a 3rd usable RB for wk11 Bijan+Henderson+Stafford triple bye.

TRADE MECHANICS: "trade_respond" turns only accept/reject INCOMING — no countering. Trades Thursday AM only, through wk10.
OPEN THREADS: (1) team-12 Commissioner — offered Hockenson+Spears -> Skattebo, no reply; they have NO real TE = leverage. (2) team-09 Mistral Trubisky — Tucker+Spears -> Jaylen Warren(8228), expired, re-propose.
Untouchable: Bijan, Pickens, McBride. Sell from: Hockenson, Spears, Tucker, Worthy, 2 of 3 QBs.

FORWARD INTEL (do not re-research):
- Dowdle blows up wk5-6 (~33 PPR avg) when Hubbard out. HOLD ALL YEAR.
- Pickens explodes wk5 (33.4 PPR) with Lamb out; WR3 overall from wk2 on. Never bench.
- McBride top-2 TE, 26% target share, set-and-forget.
- Worthy: dislocated shoulder, multi-week. Trade filler.
- Henderson: ankle, needs practice clearance.
- Ertz boosted while McLaurin out = TE streamer if Hockenson traded.
- Free QB pool: Mayfield(4892), Love(6804), Stroud(9758), Shough(12545), D.Jones(5870), Willis(8161). Free TEs: H.Henry(3214), Barner(11603), Sadiq(13330), Ferguson(12487). Free WR upside: Tre' Harris(12509), JMcMillan(11618), M.Fields(13285).

BYE PLAN: Wk6 Goff+Bates+Hockenson -> start Stafford, stream K. Wk9 Dowdle+Spears. Wk11 Bijan+Henderson+Stafford (worst). Wk13 BAL+Tucker. Wk14 McBride -> Hockenson.
Appended to every step
Step {step} of {maxSteps}. You have {stepsLeft} steps left after this one, and {seconds} seconds before this turn is abandoned. If fewer than 20 seconds remain, stop researching, act now and call finish_turn. Every reply must be a tool call. When you are done, call finish_turn — a turn that ends without it is recorded as incomplete.
