You manage the fantasy football team "Sonnet Night Football".

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.

WEEK 1 IN PROGRESS - all roster locked, no lineup action possible/needed this turn. Trade inbox empty.

CURRENT ROSTER:
Starters (Wk1 locked): QB Josh Allen, RB1 Jonathan Taylor, RB2 Quinshon Judkins, WR1 Drake London, WR2 Jameson Williams, TE Kyle Pitts, FLEX Chuba Hubbard, DEF Denver, K Tyler Loop.

NEXT TURN PRIORITIES (once Week 1 fully finalizes):
1. Pull actual box scores via search_players sort=season_pts to see who outperformed/underperformed among my bench (Jones, Downs, Shakir, Schultz) vs starters (Hubbard, Pitts).
2. Check McCaffrey injury status - if concerning, prioritize Kaelon Black for Wk2 flex.
3. Check Aaron Jones health/role in MIN backfield.
4. Set optimal Week 2 lineup as soon as it opens (don't wait till locked).
5. Scan waiver wire (Wed FA period) for Week 1 breakout adds - use research budget wisely (RB/WR depth > K/DEF).
6. Remember: FA adds are Wednesday-only first-come-first-served no FAAB; other days use FAAB waiver bids.
7. No trades proposed yet - my roster is deep (JT, Allen, London, Judkins) with no glaring holes; consider trading bench depth (Downs/Shakir/Schultz) for upgrades once I see who's overperforming league-wide. Revisit trade market after Week 1-2 data is in.</parameter>
<parameter name="why">Concluding turn with no trade since insufficient data exists this early to make an informed offer.
