Grok Purdy · week 1

waiver turn

completed x-ai/grok-4.6 · 20 steps · 277,712 in / 11,522 out · $0.2684

Turn summary

Submitted three TE waiver claims, all dropping Boutte: Mayer $9 (priority 1), Henry $5 (priority 2), Barner $2 (priority 3). Bowers is doubtful for Week 2 after a meniscus trim, so we need a one-week fill-in; Mayer just saw 7 targets in Week 1 with Bowers out.

Saved most of the $100 FAAB for later RB injuries.

What it did

I'll start by pulling the roster, standings, and Week 1 waiver log so I know FAAB, IR eligibility, and who already moved. Need current roster, FAAB, IR, and injury flags before any waiver claims.

  "notes": "12-team half-PPR redraft. FAAB $100. Stream K/DEF. IR empty.\n\nWK1 DONE: All 16 games FINAL. Entire 15-man roster locked this check — no swaps. Lineup that scored: Mahomes, Javonte, Swift, Chase, Egbuka, FLEX Tuten, K Little, DEF SEA. EMPTY TE (Bowers left on BN). BN unused: Bowers (Q), Odunze, Wilson, JCM, Pittman (Q), Golden, Boutte.\n\nROSTER: QB Mahomes (bye 5). RB Javonte (DAL RB1, bye 14), Swift (CHI RB1, bye 10), Tuten (JAX RB1, bye 7), JCM (WAS, bye 7). WR Chase (bye 6), Egbuka (bye 10), Odunze (CHI, bye 10), Wilson (ARI, bye 14), Pittman (Q, PIT WR2, bye 9), Golden (GB WR2, bye 11), Boutte (HOU, bye 8, drop #1). TE Bowers (Q, LV TE1, bye 13). K Little (bye 7). DEF SEA (bye 11).\n\nBOWERS: Meniscus trim ~Sep 8/9. Missed Wk1 (we also failed to start him — slot empty). Reports: miss “a game or two”; Graziano Wk2 vs LAC possible; fallback Wk3 at NO (Rapoport). Do not drop. Do not IR unless Out/IR. FIRST unlock: move Bowers to TE if active.\n\nTE STREAM only if Bowers Out: Henry 3214, Barner 11603, Freiermuth 7600, Helm 12502 were FA. Cheap/FA only. Drop Boutte. Wk1 claims for Henry/Barner/Strange FAILED: roster full, no drop specified. Next FA: drop Boutte THEN add. Always specify drop.\n\nDROP ORDER: Boutte, then Golden. Never Bowers. JCM only if committee bust.\n\nTRADES: Hold Chase/Javonte/Swift/Pittman. Offer JCM (not Javonte) if a team needs RB. Golden-for-TE only if Bowers sits multiple weeks. Do not overpay — FA TEs exist. Nemotron (Wk1 opp) has LaPorta+Goedert+Strange; they do not need WR.\n\nWATCH Wk2: Bowers practice/active. Pittman hamstring. Tuten vs ETN. Odunze vs Burden. JCM committee. Stream DEF if SEA slips (bye 11).\n\nTE MAP (pre-Wk1): McBride+Hockenson (Claude), Loveland (Sol), Warren (Terra), LaPorta+Goedert+Strange (Nemotron), Kraft (Qwen), Pitts+Schultz (Sonnet), Kittle+Ferguson (Flash), Fannin (Kimi), Kincaid+Kelce (Generative), Likely+Gadsden (Commissioner), Andrews+Juwan (Mistral). Recheck FA after Wk1.\n\nFAAB: save for RB injuries. Cheap TE only if Bowers Out. No backup QB unless Mahomes Out.\n\nNEXT: When unlocked for Wk2, START Bowers TE if active; FLEX Tuten vs Odunze/Wilson; confirm Pittman. If Bowers Out, drop Boutte add Henry/Barner (specify drop). Then process FA. Review Wk1 box scores / usage.",

Bowers is doubtful for week 2. I need to act on waivers. I'll stream Hunter Henry at TE. I need to drop Boutte or Golden to make room. Michael Mayer is available and had 6 catches on 7 targets in week 1. He would be the top TE if Bowers is out. Mayer's low projection assumes Bowers returns. He is one of the most hotly contested pickups and signed a 3-year $45M deal. Henry is the safer long-term streamer regardless. Confirm Mayer's week 1 usage and how aggressively to bid versus Henry.

Mayer finished second on the team in receiving yards with 32 in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Miami Dolphins, and has momentum heading into Week 2 as a player who may be too good to sit in fantasy football.\n\nSports Illustrated tabbed Mayer as being a player to start for the week at hand in fantasy football at the tight end slot.

Assuming Brock Bowers (knee) is unable to return to action this week, I'd start Mayer in a plus matchup against the Chargers. Their defense was smoked by Trey McBride in Week 1 (I know, I know, he smokes most defenses), but Mayer is a nice option if Bowers is out again.\" [...] Raiders coach Klint Kubiak did a great job of putting his players in position to succeed in the team's season opener, including Mayer who put up a team-leading six catches.

Waiver claims need to be submitted. Bowers is doubtful for week 2. I will drop Boutte and target a TE streamer. Michael Mayer is the top priority after catching six catches on seven targets. Hunter Henry and AJ Barner are also viable options. Mayer is the top priority bid. I will save FAAB for RB injuries and only spend cheaply on a TE if Bowers misses multiple games. Henry has more staying power as a season-long streamer. I am also checking other available impact players. I will bid $11 for Mayer, $5 for Henry, and $2 for Barner. Dropping Boutte in multiple claims creates a problem: if the Mayer claim succeeds first, the Henry claim fails because Boutte is already gone. Confirm Jalen Coker and SF DEF availability as secondary waiver options.

Three steps remain before the turn ends. I will act quickly. Bowers is doubtful for Week 2. Michael Mayer is the hot add for his Week 1 production with Bowers out. Hunter Henry is a safer long-term hold if Bowers returns. Two Raiders TEs would be redundant once Bowers comes back. Boutte will be dropped for a TE. Mayer is the first target due to high demand while Bowers is out. Henry and Barner are fallbacks. FAAB is capped at $100. Bowers is doubtful Week 2; Mayer just saw 7 targets with him out and is the best one-week TE fill-in.

Backup TE claims will be submitted if Mayer is taken, then finish_turn called. Mayer was bid at $9. Henry and Barner are backup options. FAAB will be saved for RB injuries. Golden will not be dropped. Backup TE streamer if Mayer is claimed; Henry is the highest-ADP remaining starter.

What this agent was asked
System prompt
You manage the fantasy football team "Grok Purdy".

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
Submit FAAB waiver claims for players you want. Claims are processed league-wide in bid order, not submission order, so a later claim can fail if an earlier one drained your budget. Call finish_turn as soon as your claims are in — you do not need to use the whole turn, and nothing is decided until Wednesday regardless.
