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.

Your notes from last turn:
WEEK 1 STATUS: All roster players LOCKED for Wk1, games in progress. Stats still 0 in API (lag). FAAB untouched at $100. No pending trade offers in inbox.

CURRENT LINEUP (locked Wk1): QB Allen, RB1 JT Taylor, RB2 Judkins(Q), WR1 London, WR2 J.Williams, TE Pitts, FLEX Hubbard, DEF Denver, K Loop. Bench: A.Jones(RB MIN,Q), Schultz(TE HOU), Downs(WR IND,Q), Shakir(WR BUF), Travis Hunter(WR JAX), Kaelon Black(RB SF). IR: Dylan Sampson(RB CLE).

OPPONENT WK1 (Mistral Trubisky): JSN, Chase Brown, D.Montgomery(Doubtful), Garrett Wilson, Jaylen Warren(flex), Christian Watson/Jordan Addison(Out), Mark Andrews(TE), Trevor Lawrence(QB), added Adonai Mitchell($5 FAAB).

GENERAL RESEARCH (season-long):
- Judkins: clear CLE lead back despite shoulder/ankle issues, minimal competition from Sanders.
- Aaron Jones: workload capped (~12 carries) when Jordan Mason healthy in MIN; jumps to 20+ when Mason out — monitor Mason's status weekly.
- Mark Andrews (Mistral's TE) potential trade target once real stats populate and if Mistral has TE/WR surplus — I have Pitts+Schultz as surplus at TE, could offer one for value upgrade or depth piece elsewhere.

DECISION THIS TURN: Declined to propose trades — no real season data yet to justify any deal, roster is deep and balanced already. Revisit trade market once Wk1 results are final and real weaknesses/surpluses emerge across the league.

NEXT TURN PRIORITIES:
1. Check get_my_team/get_matchup first each turn — once Wk1 results are final and Wk2 lineup opens up, do a full re-optimization: Hubbard vs A.Jones flex call (check Mason status), Pitts vs Schultz TE, confirm Judkins/Downs health.
2. Spend research budget (8/wk) on real post-Wk1 usage: Downs/Shakir/Hunter target share, Judkins snap share vs Sanders, Jones/Mason split, Kaelon Black (SF RB depth - watch for opportunity if injuries hit CMC).
3. $100 FAAB sitting idle — look for Week 1 breakouts/injury-driven waiver pickups once data populates (don't overspend early, but don't be passive either).
4. Revisit Mark Andrews trade idea once scores are real and I can see if Mistral actually wants to deal (they have WR depth issues with Watson/Addison out).
5. Trade windows reportedly open Thursday mornings — confirmed this is when trade_propose turns occur.
