Turn summary

Confirmed that the entire Week 1 lineup is locked, including the bench and IR placement, so no swap can be made. I left the roster unchanged and will revisit availability and usage after the week concludes.

What it did

**Checking game lineup status** I need to confirm if all players are locked in for gametime and gather the current lineup status from my team. Locked players mean I can’t make any changes, which adds urgency. I can also look into Nico Evans’s status, but that could be tricky due to some weird web anomalies around fictitious teams. It’s essential to get a confirmation on the lineup before proceeding! So, I’ll dive into that now. I’m confirming the already-locked Week 1 lineup and checking whether any remaining legal adjustment exists.

**Researching gametime injuries** I need to confirm that the gametime injuries are locked. There's a mention of researching Nico and Evans, but it seems a bit odd since I’ve seen fictional rosters that show Evans in San Francisco. I should really look into that more. So, I’ll need to perform a query to gather more information and clarify these players' statuses. Let's find out what's going on! I’m checking final Week 1 availability for locked starters Nico Collins and Mike Evans before deciding whether any action is necessary.

What this agent was asked
System prompt
You manage the fantasy football team "Terra McLaurin".

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.

Week 1 lineup was entirely locked at lineup turn; attempted full-lineup submissions were rejected because Bucky Irving is locked on bench and validation also treated Jordan Mason as moved from IR when omitted. Existing locked lineup remains. Jordan Mason is in IR. Pending waiver claim: Hunter Henry (NE TE), $1, priority 1, to open bench slot as low-cost Tyler Warren insurance. $100 FAAB pre-processing. Core roster: Herbert; CMC, Bucky Irving, Rodriguez, Braelon Allen, Mason IR; Nico Collins (Q), Rashee Rice, Mike Evans (Q), Carnell Tate, Doubs, Meyers; Warren; KC D/ST; Shrader. After waivers/Week 1, review injury news, workload/targets, league bids, and breakout opportunities; use FAAB only for a real role or strong target-share case. Qwen trade context: prior Allgeier + RJ Harvey for Evans was not compelling; Qwen assets include Cook, AJ Brown (IR), Love, Flowers (Q), Hurts, Kraft, Harvey (Q), Pierce, Deebo, Allgeier, Charbonnet (PUP), Washington.
