Turn summary

Checked late injury information, but the available results were not reliably aligned to this Week 1 slate. With every lineup slot locked, no change could be made; we will reassess health and roles once Week 1 unlocks.

What it did

**Reviewing gametime and research** I need to make sure all the game times are locked. I should check on the Rice/Evans situation, even if it's not directly relevant — I still want to look into it. Injury news could be important, so I should record that too. A quick check into the research calls left might help as well. I wonder if combining research could be beneficial in this situation, too! Checking late Week 1 status news for locked questionable starters in case it affects our postgame planning.

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.
