Lineup check — The Fourth Dimension

Let me think about the current situation. It's Sunday, Oct 18, 2026, 6:56 PM ET. This is the 6:54ish PM session (the one scheduled by the league — my scratchpad says "Sun 2:39p / 6:54p / Mon 6:48p auto lineup checks"). The next locks are GB and DAL at 8:20 PM ET tonight, then SF and WAS at Monday 8:15 PM ET. My current lineup for week 6: - QB: Drake Maye 11564 — locked, 23.8 points banked - RB1: Kenneth Walker 8151 (KC) — locked, 24.4 banked - RB2: Woody Marks 12474 (HOU) — locked, 10.1 banked - WR1: Puka Nacua 9493 — locked, 14 banked - WR2: Mike Evans 2216 (SF) — Questionable, NOT locked (Monday night game at WAS) - TE: Brock Bowers 11604 — locked, 4.3 banked - FLEX: Tyler Allgeier 8132 (ARI) — locked, 5.5 banked - DST: PHI — locked, 3 points - K: Brandon Aubrey 11533 (DAL) — NOT locked, plays tonight 8:20 PM at GB - IR: Jordan Mason Bench: Wan'Dale 8126 (locked 5.2), Odunze 11620 (locked 6.9), Worthy 11624 (locked 13.5), Rodgers 96 (locked 17.02), Schultz 5001 (locked 7.3). My points so far: 85.1 vs opponent 62.5. Good lead. The key task for this window: Check the lineup for players in this window — the only unlocked players are Aubrey (K, DAL, tonight 8:20 PM) and Evans (WR2, SF, Monday night). My scratchpad says: "6:54p session: confirm Aubrey/DST slots before 8:20p (Aubrey @ GB, fine)." Aubrey isn't injured as far as I know. PHI DST already played (locked, 3 points banked). So for this window (tonight's games: GB vs DAL at 8:20 PM): - Aubrey (K) is my only starter in this window. He's healthy (no injury flag). Need to confirm he's not injured/ benches. Let me check via web search for late news on Aubrey or DAL inactives. - Evans doesn't play until Monday night, so his inactives come out ~6:45 PM Monday, which the Monday 6:48 PM session covers. Also should check: any late news on Aubrey — like injury or Cowboys kicker situation. Let me do a quick search. Also, per instructions: check lineup for injuries/inactives this window — that's Aubrey (DAL). Everyone else in tonight's window is... wait, PHI DST — already locked, they played. GB has no players of mine. So Aubrey is the only one. Let me verify my team roster with get_my_team (week 6) to confirm current state, and search web for Aubrey news. Actually the my_team data is already in context: Aubrey injury_status null, locked false, proj 8.3. Good. Still, the instructions say to check injuries via tools. Let me do: 1. get_my_team week 6 (to confirm nothing changed since context was built — the context already includes my_team, and it's current as of now). 2. Web search for "Cowboys inactives tonight Brandon Aubrey" or "Brandon Aubrey injury week 6" and maybe MNF Evans news — but Evans' inactive decision comes Monday; any news today? Evans news would matter for Monday, but the Monday 6:48 PM session handles that. Still, per instruction #2: "Use web search to check late news on anyone questionable." Evans is questionable. So I should check late news on Evans too. If catastrophic Evans news breaks now, the fallback per §3 is... after 4:25 PM it's Evans-or-zero (Worthy locked at 4:25, Wan'Dale locked at 1 PM... wait, Wan'Dale is TEN — locked, 5.2 points already banked from early game). Hmm, Wan'Dale has already played (5.2 points). Odunze already played (6.9). Worthy 13.5 played. So bench WRs are all locked with points. If Evans doesn't play Monday, WR2 scores 0. That's baked in. Wait — actually, could I swap Evans for a free agent WR who plays Monday night (SF or WAS)? The Monday night game is SF @ WAS. If Evans is ruled out before Monday, I could theoretically add a free agent from SF/WAS who plays Monday night. But my roster is full (14 active + 1 IR). To add someone I'd need to drop someone. My bench guys are all locked... actually, can I drop locked players? "Locked players cannot be moved, dropped, or added." So all my bench players are locked (they played). I can't drop them. So I can't add a free agent to fill WR2 unless I drop someone unlocked. Who's unlocked? Evans himself (not locked until Monday MNF kickoff), Mason (IR, injury status IR — dropping an IR player? Probably could, but that kills the week 8 plan), Aubrey locks at 8:20 tonight. So effectively, my only droppable players right now are Evans, Mason (maybe), Aubrey... but dropping Evans to add another WR is nonsensical since Evans is the one with the upside. Actually it's not nonsensical in the Evans-OUT branch: drop some player for a Monday-night WR (like a WAS/ SF receiver) to avoid a zero. But all my bench players are locked — can't drop them. Dropping Evans would make WR2 empty; I'd need to add a MNF WR in the same move. Free agent add with Evans dropped... that would be a swap Evans → some WAS/ SF WR. But that only makes sense if Evans is declared OUT before Monday, which we won't know until ~6:45 PM Monday when inactives drop. At that point, WAS/ SF players are locked at 8:15 PM Monday kickoff — wait, add_free_agent rejects locked players. If I tried at 6:48 PM Monday, inactives come out ~6:45 PM and kickoff is 8:15 PM, so free agents from SF/WAS would still be unlocked until 8:15 PM Monday. Interesting — but is my roster full? 14 active: Maye, Walker, Marks, Nacua, Evans, Bowers, Allgeier, PHI, Aubrey, Wan'Dale, Odunze, Worthy, Rodgers, Schultz = 13 active + Mason IR. Wait let me count: QB Maye, RB Walker, RB Marks, TE Bowers, WR Nacua, WR Evans, FLEX Allgeier, DST PHI, K Aubrey = 9 starters. Bench: Wan'Dale, Odunze, Worthy, Rodgers, Schultz = 5 bench. Total active = 14. Plus IR Mason = 15 total. Roster limit: 14 active + 1 IR. So I'm full. To add a MNF free agent Monday, I'd have to drop Evans (if OUT) simultaneously in the same add_free_agent call (add with drop). That could be a real emergency option: if Evans is OUT Monday at 6:48 PM session, drop Evans + add a MNF WR (someone like a WAS/ SF receiver playing Monday). That would salvage WR2 from a zero to maybe 8-10 points. That's actually a meaningful option worth noting! But wait — my waiver priority #1: free agents are first-come-first-served and don't use waiver priority. Adding a true free agent (not on waivers) is immediate. Would any decent WAS/ SF WR be a free agent in this league? Deebo Samuel is OUT for SF (per scratchpad: Deebo OUT week 6). So SF fill-ins Cooks/Cowing/Watkins — scratchpad says "irrelevant unless Evans news flips." So they're probably free agents. If Evans is OUT Monday, dropping Evans for, say, a WAS WR could give me a floor at WR2. Hmm, but 85.1-62.5 lead means my matchup this week is basically won unless opponent's remaining players explode. My opponent has 62.5 — who do they have left? Let me check their roster for Monday/ tonight players. But actually my lead is 22.6 with Aubrey + Evans left for me. Probably fine. Let me think about whether the emergency MNF-add plan is worth prepping. My scratchpad §3 says "After 4:25p it's Evans-or-zero; Mon 6:48p session = confirmation only (Evans inactives ~6:45p Mon)." The pad didn't consider the drop-Evans-add-MNF-WR emergency move. Is it legal? drop a player + add: "add_free_agent: Add a free agent immediately (first come first served), optionally dropping one of your players in the same move. Rejected if the player is on waivers, already rostered, or locked..." So adding requires the target to be unlocked (MNF players lock at 8:15 PM Monday — so up until then, fine). But hold on — is Evans light-years better to keep even if he plays through injury and catches 2 balls? If he's ACTIVE, he's worth ~16.5 proj. If OUT, zero. Emergency plan only triggers if he's on the Monday inactive list. In that case: drop Evans (he's locked? If he's ruled OUT... inactive players still lock at their game's kickoff — at 6:48 PM Monday, kickoff 8:15 PM, he's not locked yet, so droppable). Add WAS WR (e.g., whoever is a free agent). Then set_lineup WR2 → new player. But set_lineup: "week defaults to the current week and may also be the next week." Setting week 6 lineup Monday before 8:15 PM should work for MNF players. One catch: dropping Evans means losing him entirely — he goes to waivers. He'd be gone (no way to re-add without waivers... I have waiver #1, and a waiver claim Wednesday 4:30 AM would likely get him back! Actually he'd go on waivers for 48 hours; my Wednesday priority #1 claim would almost certainly land him back. Hmm, interesting). But wait — is this contingency even worth pre-computing now? The Monday 6:48 PM session will handle it. Best use of THIS session (deadline 00:20 UTC = 8:20 PM ET, GB/DAL kickoff): confirm Aubrey is good for the 8:20 PM window, check for any catastrophe news on Evans (his Saturday status stands: Questionable, off the OUT list, insiders expect him to play), and verify no other surprises. Also — new info? Let me re-check news on Evans. "Late news on anyone questionable" — Evans is the Questionable player. His Saturday DNP status is known. Any Sunday-evening news? The 49ers played... no wait, SF plays Monday night. So no Sunday news on Evans except practice reports — SF doesn't practice much Sunday before MNF. Let me still do a quick search for "Mike Evans Monday night Washington vulnerable" or check for any updates. Also check Aubrey: any injury concern? He's on the team with DAL @ GB tonight. Quick search for "Brandon Aubrey" week 6 news. Unlikely anything, but confirm. And maybe check for any news on Mason (IR) recovery? Not relevant this week (week 7 activation matter — Thursday). Skip; pad already covers. Let me also verify current get_my_team to make sure nothing changed (e.g., a late injury flag appeared). The context my_team block seems current (it shows live points). But it says "locked": true for Aubrey? No — Aubrey locked: false. Evans locked: false. Good. Wait, one important thing on Aubrey: is Aubrey healthy? injury_status null. Fine. But what about the Cowboys K situation — any news of an injury in warmups? Kickers rarely have issues. The 6:54p session's main job: "confirm Aubrey/DST slots before 8:20p (Aubrey @ GB, fine)". PHI locked already. Let me also double-check that swapping is even possible for Aubrey — if something were wrong with Aubrey, my alternatives: my only other K? None on roster. Bench has no kicker. If Aubrey were suddenly out, I'd need to add a free agent K who plays MNF (SF/WAS kickers) — Jake Moody (SF) or Brandon McFerson? WAS kicker is Michael Badgley? Actually in 2026, WAS kicker — let me not guess; search only if needed. If no MNF Ks available... any K in tonight's GB-DAL game is Aubrey (DAL) and GB's kicker would be a free agent maybe. Whatever — only relevant if Aubrey shows an issue. Quick search will confirm. Plan for this session: 1. get_my_team (week 6) — confirm current slots/flags. Plus get_nfl_schedule week 6 (confirm tonight's/MNF games)? I know locks from context. Maybe not needed, but a quick sanity check is cheap. Actually context already gives next_locks. Skip schedule. 2. Web searches (parallel): - "Brandon Aubrey Cowboys kicker Sunday night inactives week 6" — check he's playing. Actually search query: "Cowboys Packers Sunday night inactives week 6 Aubrey" - "Mike Evans 49ers Monday night status week 6" — check late news. - Maybe "Brandon Aubrey injury news" — same as first search; combine. 3. If all clean: no lineup changes (nothing to change anyway for tonight — Aubrey stays at K unless news says otherwise; Evans stays at WR2). 4. Maybe write scratchpad addendum v39 updating: 6:54p session done, all confirmed; note the emergency MNF contingency (Evans OUT Monday → drop-and-add MNF WR option discovered) as a refinement to §3 for the Monday 6:48 PM session. Actually, that's a genuinely useful strategic note for the Monday session: if Evans is on Monday's inactive list, we can drop Evans and add a MNF free-agent WR/K in the same move to avoid a zero in WR2 (or better, keep the option of reclaiming him with waiver #1 Wednesday). Wait — waiver priority: does an add of a free agent (FCFS) cost priority? No, only waiver claims use priority. And if I claim Evans back Wednesday, that uses my #1 priority. Would I want to burn #1 on Evans? Possibly — depends on what other targets exist. Hmm, the pad says waiver #1 = difference-maker only. Re-adding my own WR2 wouldn't be a difference-maker add... it'd be just recovering my rostered player. Trade-off. I'd note it as an option. Actually, let me reconsider the Evans drop-and-re-add plan's risk: if I drop Evans Monday and he's a top-24 WR, other teams might claim him. With 12 teams and my priority #1, my claim wins over all others. So Monday-OUT → drop Evans + add MNF WR (e.g., a WAS pass-catcher), then Wednesday 4:30 AM claim Evans back with priority #1. The main cost: the waiver priority #1. Alternatively, hold priority and just eat the zero at WR2 (I'm up 22.6, likely a win anyway) — more likely the right call given the score and that #1 priority is earmarked for a difference-maker. Hmm wait, actually, let me be careful: could I add the MNF WR without dropping Evans? No — roster would be 15 active, over the 14 limit. All my other actives are locked (can't drop). So the only drop candidates are Evans and Aubrey (Aubrey unlocks after tonight's game ends... after GB-DAL ends, he's no longer locked because the game is over — locked means locked at kickoff until the game finishes? "Players lock at their game's kickoff" — typically they unlock after the game... in Sleeper, players stay locked for the week once their game starts. The tool description: "locked flag" — after the game ends, they remain locked for that week in most platforms. drop says "Locked players... cannot be dropped." Aubrey after tonight's game: presumably still locked since his game has been played. So no. So emergency branch Monday (only if Evans INACTIVE): options are (a) eat the zero, or (b) drop Evans + add a MNF WR (WAS/ SF FA) in one move, then try to reclaim Evans Wednesday with waiver #1. Decision math at that time: up ~22.6 + Aubrey points + a WAS/SF WR floor ~8-10 vs eating zero; matchup context matters. I'll note it in the pad for Monday's session. Actually wait, is it even possible for me to have a WAS/ SF WR free agent of value? Scrappers: Deebo OUT, so SF WRs: Cooks, Cowing, Watkins (fill-ins per pad). WAS WRs: Terry McLaurin is on some roster surely; others like... unknown. The Monday session can scout get_free_agents then. Fine — the note is enough. Also for tonight: is there any scenario where I'd swap Aubrey? If Aubrey were suddenly OUT (injury in warmups), I'd need to drop-aud... can't drop Evans? I could do add FA K (MNF K: SF Moody or WAS kicker, whoever is FA) with drop... roster is full; dropping Aubrey himself to add another K would be the move (add Moody, drop Aubrey). Possible only via add_free_agent with drop_player_id=Aubrey. Then set_lineup K=Moody. Zero likely cost. But only if Aubrey actually shows a problem. Search will tell. Let me also quickly double check the projection situation: I have no other unlocked decisions tonight. Lineup is fully set; all changes concern Aubrey (tonight) and Evans (Monday). One more check per instructions: "Check your lineup for this window: injuries, inactives, and anyone who is out or doubtful." In this window (games kicking off 8:20 PM tonight): my relevant players: Aubrey (DAL). Evans is MNF (Monday window, covered by Monday 6:48 PM session). So the check: Aubrey status. Let me run the searches. Also let me look at pending waiver claims — none (context shows my_waiver_claims empty). Trades — none. Votes owed — none. Good. Search queries: 1. "Cowboys inactives Sunday night week 6 Brandon Aubrey" or "Brandon Aubrey injury week 6" — let me phrase: "Brandon Aubrey week 6 Sunday night Cowboys Packers". Search results include publication dates. Let me do: "Cowboys Packers Sunday night football week 6 inactives kicker" 2. "Mike Evans 49ers vs Washington Monday night week 6 status" — Evans news. Note: this is a fantasy scenario (Mike Evans on the 49ers in 2026), fine, search will return whatever the sim world gives. 3. Maybe also "49ers Saturday practice report week 6" for extra confirmation on Evans. I can do all three searches in parallel. Also get_my_team in parallel (independent). Actually — decision hour: Aubrey plays at 8:20 PM ET; now it's 6:56 PM ET. Inactives for Sunday night games come out ~7:10 PM ET (90 min before). So the search for inactives might not have the list yet, but Ks are rarely on it. Let me search anyway; if inconclusive, Aubrey has no injury tag and Ks virtually never sit; the 8:20 lock will settle it. Let me make the calls: - get_my_team week=6 (verify) - search_web: "Brandon Aubrey Cowboys kicker week 6 status" - search_web: "Mike Evans 49ers Monday night week 6 inactives injury update" - (maybe) search_web: "49ers injury report Saturday week 6 Mike Evans Achilles" I'll run these four in parallel. Then: if all clean → write scratchpad addendum + decision log. No lineup changes needed (and technically nothing to change). Actually, let me also consider — should I set_lineup to re-confirm the card? The card is already set (it's in place). No need to re-set_lineup; risk of error with no benefit. The context confirms slots: Aubrey at K, Evans at WR2, everything else banked. No change needed. One more thought on Evans EV now: my banked total from locked players: Maye 23.8, Walker 24.4, Marks 10.1, Nacua 14, Bowers 4.3, Allgeier 5.5, PHI 3 = 85.1. Wait, matchup says my_points 85.1. Plus bench: Wan'Dale 5.2, Odunze 6.9, Worthy 13.5, Rodgers 17.02, Schultz 7.3 (not counted in matchup points except starters). Remaining: Aubrey (~8.3 proj) + Evans (~16.58 proj or 0). Opponent: 62.5 with who left? Opponent is Second Overall (team 5, 4-1). Their remaining players unknown — could be MNF players too. If they have, say, Dak/McLaurin or CMC/Deebo-adjacent... anything possible. 22.6-point lead, opponent might have 1-2 players tonight/Monday. Even if opponent has say Kyren Williams Monday (unlikely — Kyren is on Third & Grok). Let me not worry; the matchup check: maybe worth a peek at get_matchup week 6 to see opponent's remaining projections — to know whether Evans' zero would matter. That informs Monday's emergency decision. Cheap call, useful. Let me add get_matchup week=6 to the parallel batch. Let me also double-check: does my opponent have any players in tonight's GB-DAL game or Monday's SF-WAS game? get_matchup will show their lineup with points/projections — locked players show points; unlocked show projections. Let me pull it. Batch: 1. get_my_team {week: 6} 2. get_matchup {week: 6} 3. search_web "Brandon Aubrey week 6 Cowboys Packers kicker status" 4. search_web "Mike Evans 49ers Washington Monday night week 6 injury status" Then scratchpad + decision log. Let me write the decision log headline: "Confirmed the week-6 card with zero changes at the 6:54 PM check — Aubrey starts at K tonight..." Something like that. Let me make the calls now.

}

Good data. Let me process: 1. **My team state**: Points updated slightly: Bowers 7.1 (was 4.3), Walker 24.3 (was 24.4). My total now 87.8 per matchup. No new injury flags. Aubrey: no injury, plays tonight 8:20 PM ET. Evans: still Questionable, MNF. No empty starting slots. No changes needed. 2. **Matchup context**: Second Overall (5) has 62.5 with remaining players: Dak Prescott (QB, DAL, tonight), George Pickens (WR2, DAL, tonight), Ryan Flournoy (FLEX, DAL, tonight). Their remaining projections: 19.95 + 13.56 + 8.07 = 41.58. If all hit projections, they'd get ~104. My remaining: Aubrey 8.3 + Evans 16.58 = ~24.9, total ~112.7. So it'd be ~112.7 vs ~104 if everyone hits projection. They'd need Dak + Pickens + Flournoy to outperform projections by ~9 points combined over my Aubrey + Evans. Dak vs GB could pop, but Pickens + Flournoy as the supporting cast — possible but their path requires a 24+ point combined overperformance. Actually, wait: their proj sum 41.58 vs my remaining 24.9 — differential +16.7 for them. My lead is 25.3 (87.8 vs 62.5). So projected final: me 112.7, them 104.08 → I win by ~8.6 if all projections hit. Interesting — this is closer than my earlier scratchpad assumed. Evans playing matters quite a bit here. If Evans is OUT (0), projected final ~96.1 vs ~104 — they'd be favored by ~8, though Aubrey and variance still matter. That reframes the Monday emergency option: if Evans is inactive Monday, dropping him for a Monday-night free-agent WR actually becomes a real play — a zero at WR2 against three DAL players breathing down my neck could cost me the week. Hmm. But also: their three remaining are all Cowboys in the same game vs GB. If GB's defense dominates, all three flop. Coin flips. Let me also note: the Yahoo article published "8 hours ago" ≈ 11 AM today: "Is Mike Evans playing this week?" — let me read... the snippet just repeats known info (Achilles + rib injuries, questionable). Nothing new beyond Saturday's status. SF Chronicle (1 day ago): missed practice again, Shanahan says questionable "possible" — Sunday session update: no downgrade. 3. **Aubrey**: SNF inactives piece published 5 minutes ago lists GB questionable players and Cowboys CBs questionable — no mention of Aubrey or any kicker issue. Ks virtually never inactive. Status: Active, no injury flag, plays tonight. Confirmed. Now — is there anything actionable? - Aubrey: fine, stays. Nothing to swap anyway (no other K on roster, and no better FA kicker worth a drop... dropping requires an unlocked piece; moot). - Evans: still Q, no downgrade, consistent with the 80% play estimate; inactive list ~6:45 PM Monday; Monday 6:48 PM league session covers it. Can't improve on the plan now: bench WRs are locked (Worthy's 13.5 banked but he's locked → can slide him INTO WR2? NO — Worthy is locked; locked players can't be moved. Worthy scored 13.5 as a bench player; moving him to WR2 after his game would be illegal (locked), and Sleeper-type rules don't allow moving players after their game started. Per rules: "Players lock at their game's kickoff. Locked players cannot be moved, dropped, or added." So no. So wait — one nuance in my scratchpad §3: "if catastrophic Evans news breaks before ~4:00p, pivot WR2→Worthy at the 2:39p session" — that window is gone (Worthy locked at 4:25 PM, now he's locked with 13.5 banked on the bench). Now the only WR2 alternatives are MNF free agents (SF/WAS players), which requires a drop (Evans himself is the only realistically droppable piece — everyone else locked except Aubrey who's needed and Mason on IR). Actually, this is worth thinking through hard for Monday's session: **Monday 6:48 PM session playbook (if Evans is INACTIVE at ~6:45 PM):** - Option A: Eat the zero at WR2. Lead 25.3 with Aubrey's points added Monday night... wait no, Aubrey plays TONIGHT (Sunday). By Monday, Aubrey's points are banked. So going into Monday night: me = 87.8 + Aubrey's result; them = 62.5 + Dak + Pickens + Flournoy results. If Evans is out, I'd have zero remaining players in the MNF window while they might have MNF players? Their week-6 lineup (from matchup): Dak, Pickens, Flournoy are all DAL — they play TONIGHT. So Second Overall has NO Monday night players! Their entire remaining slate locks at 8:20 PM tonight. By Monday, their score is final. Interesting! - So Monday's decision posture depends entirely on tonight's outcome: - After tonight, my score = 87.8 + Aubrey. Theirs = 62.5 + Dak + Pickens + Flournoy (final). - If I'm ahead after tonight, Evans zero is likely fine (win unless Evans-out... wait if I'm ahead, no MNF scoring for them at all — so if I'm ahead after tonight, I WIN the week regardless; Evans' points are irrelevant to the result, but bank them anyway for record... points_for is a tiebreaker stat. Evans playing and scoring would add to points_for which matters for standings/seedings. Still, if leading, an Evans zero doesn't cost the W. - If I'm behind after tonight, then Evans playing Monday is my last bullet — and if he's inactive, the emergency drop-Evans-add-MNF-FA play could recover ~8-10 points (a WAS/SF WR floor) which could flip the matchup. But even then, I'd need that fill-in WR to beat the deficit. Only follow if trailing by ≤ ~10 after tonight and Evans is OUT. This is a genuinely useful refinement for the Monday 6:48 PM session. Note it in the scratchpad. Also the reclaiming idea: if I drop Evans Monday and add a FA, I could try to reclaim him Wednesday with waiver #1 — but the pad says #1 is reserved for a difference-maker. Deciding that Monday: if I did drop Evans and reclaim, that spends #1. Alternative view: if he's OUT Monday night, other teams might want him (top WR when healthy) — with my #1 priority I'd win the claim anyway. Net: reclaiming Evans with #1 costs nothing except priority. Worth it? He's a top-24-ish WR with week-8 bye conflict... My week 7 plan needs Mason activation + a cut. Actually — hmm, dropping Evans Monday and repicking him Wednesday keeps the roster whole (I'd add MNF WR as... no wait, the MNF WR occupies a bench spot after Monday... bench is full. Ugh: after Monday, the MNF fill-in WR would still be on my roster as a bench body, meaning Monday night I'd have 14 actives: same 14 minus Evans plus fill-in. Then Wednesday I'd claim Evans → that would put me at 15 unless the claim drops someone simultaneously. Claims can specify a drop presumably (get_waiver_claims shows claims; claims typically include drop). I'd drop the fill-in (a WW WR) in the same claim → back to Evans + bench. That works mechanically: claim Evans, drop fill-in. Costs waiver priority #1. But honestly — the reclaim is automatic-ish: priority #1 guarantees me any single claim on Wednesday's run. The only cost is priority (for future weeks). Since the waiver wire's difference-maker value is speculative anyway, if Evans is OUT Monday and I need the fill-in to win the week, reclaiming Evans Wednesday with #1 is defensible. I'll leave the branch decision to Monday's session with this playbook in the pad. CBSS caveat:Only if I'm behind after tonight AND Evans is OUT. If ahead (likely if Cowboys trio is mediocre and Aubrey hits), do nothing Monday — zero risk to the W, priorities preserved, Evans not dropped (no reason to claim him Wednesday — keeping him all along!). Right: if Evans is active Monday (or inactive while I'm ahead), he stays on my roster regardless. Only the "behind + OUT" branch needs the drop-and-add. Let me also double check the total now: 87.8 (per matchu points). Their 62.5. Projected remaining theirs: 41.58. Projected final theirs ~104.1. Mine: 87.8 + Aubrey ~8.3 + Evans ~16.6 (if plays) = ~112.7. Win by ~8.6 if all hit. If Evans 0 → ~96.1 vs their ~104 → I'd be behind by ~8, needing Aubrey/Dak variance. So tonight: I'm actually a slight Cowboys-offense fan? No wait — Dak, Pickens, Flournoy scoring points for THEM tonight. I want GB to bottle up the Dallas offense EXCEPT Aubrey's kicking (FGs happen when drives stall — Dak moving the ball but stalling in the red zone is my ideal... they also get Pickens/Flournoy catches. Ideal: DAL kicks 5 FGs, Pickens/Flournoy combine for ~10-15 total, Dak ~15. Then my lead holds and Evans' Monday becomes gravy + points_for. Also per instructions: "Swap anyone who will not play. Add a free agent if you need a body." Nobody in tonight's window won't play: Aubrey is healthy. Evans is Monday — nothing to do until Monday inactives. Also should I double-check for anything in "players who played this week are on waivers until Wednesday" — no claims pending, none needed. Sanity check the card one more time via the my_team pull: - QB Maye 23.8 ✓ (locked) - RB1 Walker 24.3 ✓ - RB2 Marks 10.1 ✓ - WR1 Nacua 14 ✓ - WR2 Evans (Q, unlocked, MNF) — holds per plan - TE Bowers 7.1 ✓ (updated from 4.3) - FLEX Allgeier 5.5 ✓ - DST PHI 3 ✓ - K Aubrey (unlocked, tonight, healthy) ✓ - IR Mason ✓ No empty starting slots. Everyone healthy except Evans Q (documented, plays tomorrow, covered by Monday session). No lineup changes needed. Nothing to swap. No adds needed. Now, the scratchpad update. I'll append a v39 addendum with: 1. 6:54p check complete: no changes; Aubrey confirmed active/healthy for SNF (inactives piece 5 min old, no K or Aubrey mention); Evans still Q, no downgrade (Yahoo/AOL today, SF Chron/USAT/NBC Sat — same story: DNPs, side field, Shanahan "possible"); Bowers ticked 4.3→7.1, my lead 87.8 vs 62.5. 2. KEY new intel: Second Overall has ZERO MNF players — their entire remaining slate is tonight's DAL trio (Dak 19.95 proj, Pickens 13.56, Flournoy 8.07). Score is FINAL after tonight for them. My MNF: Evans only. 3. Monday 6:48p playbook depends on tonight's result: - Compute margin after SNF: me = 87.8 + Aubrey; them = 62.5 + Dak + Pickens + Flournoy (final). - If ahead after tonight: Evans OUT → do NOTHING (W already locked; don't burn anything; also even if Evans inactive, bench WRs locked anyway). Evans ACTIVE → he plays, gravy for points_for. - If behind after tonight AND Evans INACTIVE (~6:45p list): emergency: add MNF FA WR (WAS/SF fill-in — scout get_free_agents) with drop_player_id = Evans 2216 (only droppable active; everyone else locked), then set_lineup WR2 → new player. Needs deficit ≤ ~8-10 to be worth it. Sunday-Wednesday: could reclaim Evans Wed with waiver #1 (claim + drop the fill-in) — defensible since #1 guarantees it; decide Monday. - If behind after tonight AND Evans ACTIVE: no action available; ride him. 4. Next: Mon 6:48p session (evans confirmation + emergency branch), Tue weekly_review, Wed post_waivers (hold #1 unless the Evans-reclaim applies). Also update the banked numbers: changed Bowers 7.1, Walker 24.3; my total 87.8. Wait, also I should double-check one thing: can I actually set my week-6 lineup Monday evening? "set_lineup... week defaults to the current week and may also be the next week." Week 6 still current through Monday (last MNF game). At 6:48 PM Monday, current week = 6. Yes, can set WR2 then (MNF players unlocked until 8:15 PM Monday). OK. And add_free_agent on a MNF player Monday: allowed until their kickoff (8:15 PM Monday). The inactive list drops ~6:45 PM, so the window is ~6:45–8:15 PM. Feasible within the 6:48 PM session. One more consideration — prefer WAS or SF fill-in? Deebo OUT means SF WR2/3 slots open (Cooks/Cowing/Watkins per pad); McLaurin is likely rostered. WAS QB is... Daniels? Their WRs: McLaurin (rostered surely), Noah Brown? Terry's backfield... Unknown FAs. Monday session will scout get_free_agents with position WR sorted by proj and pick the best SF/WAS WR who plays Monday and is unlocked. Note candidates in pad: per pad, SF fill-ins Cooks/Cowing/Watkins mentioned as irrelevant unless Evans news flips. So the branch is scouted-ish. Fine. I might ALSO pre-scout now, cheaply? get_free_agents position WR sorted proj limit 20 — to see who's even available from SF/WAS. That makes Monday's decision instant. Let me do it: get_free_agents {position: "WR", sort: "proj", limit: 20}. This also tells me waiver_until status — if the SF/WAS fill-ins are on waivers (they played... no wait, SF/WAS haven't played this week yet — players who PLAYED this week go on waivers; SF/WAS players haven't played, so fill-ins are likely true FAs or on waivers from last week's drop). Hmm: "Players who played this week are on waivers until Wednesday." Since SF/WAS didn't play yet in week 6, their players were on waivers since their last game (week 5) — actually dropped players go on waivers 48h after the drop. Unrostered players who were simply never rostered are free agents. Cooks/Cowing/Watkins — never rostered, probably FAs. But some might have been dropped (e.g., if a team dropped McLaurin's teammate after week 5 — 48h would have expired by Sunday). IDs needed. Let me pull the list now to cache the candidates in the pad. But careful: "never post wire plans" (my pad's lesson). I can look now — it's free. Results are the same for everyone; not a secret. But DON'T post these on the board. Just private pad. Let me pull free-agent WRs. Then decide the candidates. Also possibly K/TE for... no, only WR matters (FLEX is Allgeier locked; TE Bowers locked). Only WR2 slot is the emergency slot. Also a WAS or SF K? No — K slot is Aubrey tonight; no change possible... wait, if Aubrey gets hurt in warmups TONIGHT, I'd need: drop?? Aubrey is the droppable one before 8:20 PM. add FA K from MNF (Moody SF, WAS kicker) with drop Aubrey, set_lineup K. Extremely unlikely; skip unless news — the inactives piece didn't mention kicker issues and Aubrey has no tag. But the same get_free_agents sketch for WR contributes... let me just pull WR limit 20 proj-sorted, and maybe also check free agent Ks quickly in the same call set? K list also cheap: get_free_agents position K sort proj limit 10. Two independent calls, can batch with the Winnipeg... no batch, whatever. Also could add TEs — not needed (Bowers locked, scored). Actually — do I need to be careful about ONE thing: the y-axis "Players who played this week are on waivers until Wednesday" — MNF players (SF/WAS) haven't played yet, so any FA MNF player is addable now or Monday. Non-MNF free agents who played Sunday: on waivers. So the Monday emergency add can ONLY come from SF/WAS. Filter the FA list for SF and WAS receivers (and maybe TE/RB — no, WR2 slot can take WR only... wait WR2 slot must be a WR. FLEX could take RB/WR/TE but FLEX is locked (Allgeier). So WR only.) Hmm, actually can a TE/RB fill WR2? Standard Sleeper: WR slots require WRs, FLEX takes RB/WR/TE only — the slot dedicated as WR2 requires WR. Yes, WR only. Let me pull.
