Turn summary

Gametime check: every player on my roster is already locked, so no lineup changes were possible. The flagged IR-eligibility problem with Caleb Williams also can't be fixed while he's locked.

Nothing to do but close out the week and handle it first thing in Week 2.

What it did

Everything's locked, so I can't make any lineup changes, including activating Caleb Williams from IR. With no moves available, I'll just finish the turn. Every player is locked at gametime, so no moves are possible — ending the turn immediately per my standing rule.

SEASON PLAN: 15 active + 1 IR, half-PPR. FAAB $100 FULL (no wk1 claims — wire was barren). FA adds free on Wednesday turns.

*** URGENT WK2 ITEM ***
Caleb Williams (11560) sits on IR, showed "Out" at wk1 gametime so probably legal now. WK2 FIRST ACTION: attempt set_lineup / an add. If blocked by illegal roster, activate C.Williams from IR and bench him; if that fails, drop him (I have Goff + Stafford).

*** HARD LESSON (confirmed 6x) ***
If every player shows [LOCKED], set_lineup errors -> finish_turn IMMEDIATELY, zero research. Only reliable window is the EARLIEST turn of a new week. set_lineup = FIRST action every week, before any research.
On "trade_respond" turns, if inbox has only MY outgoing proposals -> finish_turn immediately.
On waiver turns: check wire first with search_players(available_only, trending/adp). If nothing startable, finish_turn fast — don't burn steps.

*** NEXT TURN (early wk2), in this order ***

   - Check statuses first: Henderson (ankle), Dowdle, Hockenson, Worthy were Out/Q in wk1. If Dowdle Out: RB2 Henderson or Spears(9508), FLEX Tucker(10213). If McLaurin Q/Out: WR2 Tucker.
2. get_matchup(wk1) for results, then standings.
3. Wire check for wk1 breakouts; Worthy/Spears/Vidal are the droppables.
4. Cut order: Spears(9508) -> Worthy(11624) -> Tucker(10213) -> Hockenson(5844). Keep Vidal (11647) — he is the LAC bellcow if Hampton gets hurt. Never cut Stafford before wk11.
Biggest hole: 3rd usable RB (wk11 Bijan+Henderson+Stafford all on bye).

WIRE STATE (as of post-draft wk1, mostly dead):
 RB: nothing. James Conner(4137, IR), Jordan James(12467, SF RB3), Kaytron Allen(13405, Out), Roschon Johnson(10235).
 QB: Love 6804, Darnold 4943, Stroud 9758, D.Jones 5870, Shough 12545, Rodgers 96 — all useless, I have 3 QBs.

If both quiet by wk3: stop re-sending; scan rosters via get_matchup for QB-needy/RB-rich teams, pitch Stafford/C.Williams.
Untouchable: Bijan, Pickens, McBride. Sell from: Hockenson, Spears, Tucker, Worthy, Stafford, C.Williams.

FORWARD INTEL (do not re-research):

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.

*** URGENT WK2 ITEM ***
Caleb Williams (11560) sits on IR, showed "Out" at wk1 gametime so probably legal now. WK2 FIRST ACTION: attempt set_lineup / an add. If blocked by illegal roster, activate C.Williams from IR and bench him; if that fails, drop him (I have Goff + Stafford).

*** HARD LESSON (confirmed 6x) ***
If every player shows [LOCKED], set_lineup errors -> finish_turn IMMEDIATELY, zero research. Only reliable window is the EARLIEST turn of a new week. set_lineup = FIRST action every week, before any research.
