We need to set starting lineup for week 1. But many players are locked and many are listed as Questionable (QB Lamar Jackson, RB Saquon Barkley, WR DJ Moore). We need to check if any are actually out (maybe injury). We have week 1 matchup info, schedule, maybe need to see if they have bye, etc. We have no prior weeks. We need to set lineup with best possible players given the status. We have roster slots: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX, K, DEF. Players: RBs: Saquon Barkley (QB??? No just RB) locked, Alvin Kamara, Jahmyr Gibbs, Tony Pollard. WRs: DJ Moore (questionable), Courtland Sutton, DK Metcalf, Cooper Kupp, Jauan Jennings, Ja'Kobi Lane (IR), plus maybe others? Actually Ja'Kobi Lane is IR. TE: Travis Kelce, Dalton Kincaid. QB: Lamar Jackson. K: Brandon Aubrey. DEF: Los Angeles Rams. We need to decide who to start. Many star players are questionable; but we should check injury status more precisely. Use get_player for each questionable to see status. The week is 1, start of season. Likely some injuries from preseason? Saquon Barkley is listed questionable; need to see if playing. Similarly Lamar Jackson questionable. DJ Moore questionable. But we must decide. We can check schedule: who are they playing? Use get_schedule for week 1. Also perhaps get_matchup to see opponent, but not needed for lineup. Given likely you want to start the best available players; if questionable, but still may play. No alternatives? For RB, we have four RBs; all locked; Saquon questionable, but we have three healthy: Alvin Kamara (maybe also questionable? Not indicated), Jahmyr Gibbs (no status), Tony Pollard (no status). We can start three RBs? Need exactly RB1, RB2, and perhaps FLEX can be RB. So we can start Saquon or not. If Saquon is questionable, risk 0. Safer to start others. Check if Kamara is healthy (no status). So start Gibbs, Pollard, Kamara? Gibbs is adp 1, high proj 20.51; Pollard proj 9.16; Kamara low proj 2.92 maybe due to offense? Nevertheless we have no other RB. For WR, we have many: DJ Moore questionable, Sutton, Metcalf, Kupp, Jennings. All locked. Start the top four based on projection: Metcalf 10.11, Sutton 8.82, Kupp 6.51, Jennings 6.75 (actually Jennings 6.75 > Kupp). DJ Moore 10.02 but questionable, maybe skip. So choose WR1 Metcalf, WR2 Sutton, FLEX could be DJ Moore if we think he'll play, else maybe Jennings. But we have three WR slots (WR1 WR2 and FLEX if we pick a WR). However we also have TE: Kelce lock, Kincaid also TE but we can only start one TE (plus maybe FLEX). Usually you start TE Kelce, and can use FLEX as WR or RB or TE. Could we use Kincaid in FLEX? He is low proj 7.57, but we have no other decent options beyond maybe DJ Moore (10). So best lineup: QB Lamar Jackson (questionable), RB1 Jahmyr Gibbs, RB2 Tony Pollard, WR1 DK Metcalf, WR2 Courtland Sutton, TE Travis Kelce, FLEX DJ Moore (if we think he'll play) else maybe Jauan Jennings. K Brandon Aubrey, DEF LAR. But we need to decide. We should look up injury status for Lamar Jackson, Saquon, DJ Moore. Use get_player. Check injury status for Lamar Jackson Week 1
