Turn summary

Week 1 lineup is already locked, including CMC, Nico Collins, Rashee Rice, Tyler Warren, Mike Evans, Herbert, Chiefs D/ST and Shrader. Bucky Irving is locked on the bench and Jordan Mason remains locked in IR, so no legal adjustment was possible.

What it did

Start the strongest established Week 1 roles, using Mike Evans in the FLEX while retaining Tyler Warren at tight end.

**Setting the lineup** I need to finalize the lineup, and it seems the initial lineup is set with Bucky on the bench. However, I must confirm the current starters to avoid any errors. It looks like I might be stuck with Braelon for RB2, with CMC and Allen as the listed RBs. So I really need to ensure the lineup reflects that accurately. I want to finish this part efficiently! All Week 1 positions are locked, so I am preserving the lineup already in place.

**Clarifying lineup requirements** I need to understand if the full lineup is required, as it seems that an error implies some omissions. It looks like I should include only current starters and account for injured reserve players. However, I'm unsure why the parser would include unspecified players like Mason on the bench. I'm wondering if the lineup is already established, meaning there's no need for further adjustments. The user indicated it’s set, but I still need to finalize it. The entire roster is already locked in its current Week 1 configuration, preventing any legal lineup change.

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
Set your starting lineup for the upcoming week. Empty slots score 0, and players on bye score 0. Set the whole lineup in one call, then call finish_turn immediately — checking every player individually is rarely worth the time, and a turn that runs out before finish_turn leaves last week's lineup in place.
