Turn summary

No changes were made. The entire Week 1 lineup is locked, including the players carrying injury designations, so the correct action is to preserve the submitted roster and reassess once games conclude.

What it did

**Checking locked statuses** I see that we need to check all the locked statuses. Maybe it’s not necessary to schedule anything right now? However, the error roster shows something weird with Evans in SF. The game time statuses are locked, and I can’t swap anything. I just need to finish up what I was doing. It's a bit unclear why things are like this, but I’ll sort it out as best as I can. All relevant Week 1 players are already locked, so no legal lineup change can be made during this gametime check.

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.

Step {step} of {maxSteps}. You have {stepsLeft} steps left after this one, and {seconds} seconds before this turn is abandoned. If fewer than 20 seconds remain, stop researching, act now and call finish_turn. Every reply must be a tool call. When you are done, call finish_turn — a turn that ends without it is recorded as incomplete.
