WEEK 6 — Sun Oct 18 2026 7:02 PM ET (8:20 lineup_check, GB-DAL) Record 1-4, rank 9, PF 603.42, PA 678.7. Waiver #12. Vs Fourth and Sol (2-3, 632 PF). Live 109.86–95.1.

LINEUP HELD (8:20 window) QB Shough LOCKED 26.96 RB1 Kyren LOCKED 9.7 RB2 Allen LOCKED 12.4 WR1 Parker LOCKED 10.4 WR2 DeVonta LOCKED 20.5 TE McBride LOCKED 12.3 FLEX Harvey LOCKED 14.6 DST SEA LOCKED 3 K Smack vs DAL 8.41 (8:20) — Active, no injury tag, not on Packers inactives (Cisse ACTIVE, St-Juste OUT). ESPN Active. Live previews still treat him as GB's kicker. PLAYING. No FA kicker better: Drew Stevens (WAS Mon) is 7.54 and would require a drop. IR ETN HOLD.

BN: Chase (bye), Vele LOCKED 7.2, Judkins OUT ankle LOCKED, McLaurin Mon 11.84 (insurance only — do not start, every other slot locked), Tucker LOCKED 15.3.

NO SWAP: only unlocked starter is Smack, who is healthy and kicking. McLaurin stays benched. Roster full, no empty slots.

MATCHUP vs Sol 109.86–95.1 live. Their remaining: Lamb @ GB 20.39 (tonight) + Daniels Mon 17.39. Ours remaining: Smack 8.41. Lamb is the swing; we lead by ~14.8 into SNF but they still have two players. Nothing left to move.

CHECKS League: Mon 6:50 (McLaurin already benched). No self check-in.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin, DeVonta, Vele, Tucker, Allen, Smack, SEA. SHOPPABLE: Allen streamer — re-eval Tue/Wed. Do not drop Judkins.

WEEK 6 — Sun Oct 18 2026 2:47 PM ET (4:05 lineup_check) Record 1-4, rank 9, PF 603.42, PA 678.7. Waiver #12. Vs Fourth and Sol (2-3, 632 PF). Live 53.1–50.9.

LINEUP HELD (4:05 window) QB Shough LOCKED 9.8 RB1 Kyren vs ARI 21.08 (4:05) — Active, no injury tag, not on any inactive report. ESPN lineup lock. Rams Friday report: nobody ruled out. PLAYING. RB2 Braelon Allen LOCKED 11.1 WR1 Parker LOCKED 10.4 WR2 DeVonta LOCKED 4.2 TE McBride @ LAR 16.33 (4:05) — Active, no injury tag, not on any inactive report. ESPN lineup lock (Love OUT is ARI RB, not McBride). PLAYING. FLEX Harvey LOCKED 14.6 DST SEA LOCKED 3 K Smack vs DAL 9.08 (8:20) — later window, league check 6:57 IR ETN HOLD.

BN: Chase (bye), Vele LOCKED 5.4, Judkins OUT ankle, McLaurin Mon 11.84 (insurance only), Tucker vs BUF 9.06 (4:25, leftover — do not start over Kyren/McBride).

NO SWAP: locked starters already played; Kyren/McBride both healthy and far above Tucker/McLaurin. No FA needed; roster full, no empty slots.

MATCHUP vs Sol 53.1–50.9 live. Their remaining: Daniels (Mon 17.39), Lamb @ GB 20.24. Ours remaining: Kyren 21.08, McBride 16.33, Smack 9.08. Lamb is still the swing; Kyren/McBride cashing makes this winnable.

CHECKS League: Sun 6:57 (Smack 8:20), Mon 6:50 (McLaurin already benched). No self check-in.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin, DeVonta, Vele, Tucker, Allen, Smack, SEA. SHOPPABLE: Allen streamer — re-eval Tue/Wed. Do not drop Judkins.

W7 WR: Chase + DeVonta (vs DAL Mon) + Vele vs PIT + Tucker vs LAR. Parker AND McLaurin bye W7. W8: ETN/Shough bye — stream QB. Do NOT pay Judkins for a QB. W10: Harvey bye. W11: Kyren/Judkins/SEA/Smack — ETN + Harvey cover.

WEEK 6 — Sun Oct 18 2026 11:44 AM ET (1:00 lineup_check) Record 1-4, rank 9, PF 603.42, PA 678.7. Waiver #12. Vs Fourth and Sol (2-3, 632 PF). Live 26-13.6 (Parker 8.4, Harvey 14.6, SEA 3 locked).

LINEUP HELD (1:00 inactives confirmed) QB Shough @ NYG 16.96 — no tag, not on Saints inactives. PLAYING. RB1 Kyren vs ARI 21.21 (4:05) — later window RB2 Braelon Allen @ NE 13.35 — Hall OUT again, Allen lead back 3rd straight week. PLAYING. WR1 Parker vs HOU LOCKED 8.4 (London) WR2 DeVonta vs CAR 11.53 — off IR report, full Fri, Eagles inactives: Barkley/Hurts/Shipley out, Smith BACK. Over Vele even with Olave out: better talent, featured WR1, McKee still feeds him. PLAYING. TE McBride @ LAR 16.42 (4:05) FLEX Harvey LOCKED 14.6 DST SEA LOCKED 3 K Smack vs DAL 9.08 (8:20) IR ETN HOLD.

BN: Chase (bye 6), Vele 10.6 @ NYG (Olave AND Kamara OUT per Saints.com inactives — Vele is Saints WR1 today, leftover only; do not start over active DeVonta), Judkins OUT ankle (inactive vs BAL, already benched), McLaurin 11.84 @ SF Mon (no designation; only leftover WR after Sunday — pivot only if a starter sat before lock, they didn't), Tucker 9.06 vs BUF 4:25.

WHY NOT VELE Olave/Kamara out is real volume for Vele, but DeVonta is active, off the report, and the WR I traded Lloyd for. Rankings WR25 vs WR30, proj 11.53 vs 10.6. Starting Terry Mon = zero risk if he sits. Both 1:00 WRs play; start the better one.

JUDKINS Ruled inactive (ankle). Allen already covering RB2 so no zero. Hold Judkins — long-term RB2, Hall will return and Allen is a streamer.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin, DeVonta, Vele, Tucker, Allen, Smack, SEA. SHOPPABLE: Allen streamer — re-eval Tue/Wed. Do not drop Judkins.

MATCHUP vs Sol 26-13.6 live. Their remaining: Daniels (Mon), Bucky, Lamb 20.24, Nabers, Henry, DK, IND, Shrader. Ours remaining: Shough, Kyren, Allen, DeVonta, McBride, Smack. Winnable if Kyren/Shough cash. Lamb is the swing.

CHECKS League: Sun 2:45 (Kyren/McBride 4:05), Sun 6:57 (Smack 8:20), Mon 6:50 (McLaurin already benched). No self check-in.

W7 WR: Chase + DeVonta (vs DAL Mon) + Vele vs PIT + Tucker vs LAR. Parker AND McLaurin bye W7. W8: ETN/Shough bye — stream QB. Do NOT pay Judkins for a QB. W10: Harvey bye. W11: Kyren/Judkins/SEA/Smack — ETN + Harvey cover.

WEEK 6 — Sun Oct 18 2026 8:12 AM ET (London lineup_check) Record 1-4, rank 9, PF 603.42, PA 678.7. Waiver #12. Vs Fourth and Sol (2-3, 632 PF). Live 17.6-13.6 after TNF.

LINEUP SET (Sun AM) QB Shough @ NYG 17.06 RB1 Kyren vs ARI 21.03 (4:05) RB2 Braelon Allen @ NE 13.44 (1:00) — FA add, Hall OUT. Dropped Malik (bye). WR1 Parker vs HOU 15.04 (London 9:30) — inactives out, not listed. LOCKS NOW. WR2 DeVonta vs CAR 11.53 (1:00) — cleared hamstring/toe, no tag. Over McLaurin (Mon) because every other WR locks today; if Terry sits Mon, WR2 would be a zero. TE McBride @ LAR 16.48 (4:05) FLEX Harvey 14.6 LOCKED DST SEA 3 LOCKED K Smack vs DAL 9.08 (8:20) IR ETN HOLD. Eligible ~W8, bye W8, return ~W9. ROS RB18.

BN: Chase (bye 6), Vele 10.65 @ NYG, Judkins Q 10.26 vs BAL (ankle, limited Fri, game-time — do NOT start over Allen), McLaurin 11.84 @ SF Mon (no designation, hamstring/rest; pivot only if a starter sits before his lock — he is the only leftover WR after Sunday), Tucker 9.06 vs BUF 4:25.

WHY ALLEN NOT JUDKINS Allen weekly RB15, 13.44, lead back 3rd straight week, 24/116/TD last week. Judkins still Q, boot/ankle, 10.26, game-time. Empty RB2 scored 0 until this fill. Allen also covers if Judkins sits at 11:40 check.

WHY DEVONTA NOT MCLAURIN Proj 11.53 vs 11.84 is a wash. McLaurin is Monday-only. Vele/DeVonta lock 1:00, Tucker 4:25. Starting Terry and having him sit = ZERO with no replacement. DeVonta was the Lloyd trade: start him this week.

DROP MALIK Bye W6, ROS WR57. W7 WR cover now: Chase + DeVonta (vs DAL Mon) + Vele vs PIT + Tucker vs LAR. Parker AND McLaurin bye W7 — DeVonta is the new W7 WR2. Do not panic.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin, DeVonta, Vele, Tucker, Allen, Smack, SEA. SHOPPABLE: none this window. Allen is a streamer (Hall back eventually, ROS RB73) — re-evaluate Tue/Wed. Judkins still the long-term RB2.

MATCHUP vs Sol 17.6-13.6 TNF. Their remaining: Daniels, Bucky, Lamb 20.24, Nabers, Henry, DK, IND, Shrader. Ours remaining: Shough, Kyren, Allen, Parker, DeVonta, McBride, Smack. Winnable if Parker/Kyren cash. Lamb is the swing.

CHECKS League lineup_checks: Sun 11:40 (Judkins/Allen/DeVonta/Shough/Vele 1:00), Sun 2:45 (Kyren/McBride 4:05), Sun 6:57 (Smack 8:20), Mon 6:50 (McLaurin only — already benched). No self check-in. Weekly_review Tue / post_waivers Wed.

W7 WR: Chase + DeVonta + Vele + Tucker. Parker/McLaurin bye. W8: ETN/Shough bye — stream QB. Do NOT pay Judkins for a QB. W10: Harvey bye. W11: Kyren/Judkins/SEA/Smack — ETN + Harvey cover.

WEEK 6 — Fri Oct 16 2026 10:05 AM ET (post-TNF check-in 6820) Record 1-4, rank 9, PF 603.42, PA 678.7. Waiver #8. Vs Fourth and Sol (2-3, 632 PF). Live 17.6-13.6 after TNF.

TNF RESULT Harvey FLEX 14.6 (locked, over 10.09 proj) vs SEA. SEA DST 3 (locked, under 8.34). Net +4 vs Sol's Dobbins 13.6. Harvey win, DST miss. No more TNF moves.

JUDKINS Friday Still Q (lower leg/ankle). Heavy.com/Cabot: did not practice, boot on surgically repaired right ankle; return to practice does not guarantee Sunday vs BAL. Proj 8.93. KEEP BENCHED behind Lloyd 12.4. Do NOT send Judkins for Evans (already gone) or anyone else.

MCLAURIN Still Q hamstring, 10.91 @ SF Monday. Played last week after Friday practice. Leave in WR2; Tucker 9.07 is the pivot if he sits at Mon 6:50 lineup_check.

LINEUP UNCHANGED QB Shough @ NYG 16.96 RB1 Kyren vs ARI 21.12 RB2 Lloyd vs DAL 12.4 (over Judkins Q 8.93 / Miller 9.34) WR1 Parker vs HOU 15.00 (London 9:30) WR2 McLaurin @ SF 10.91 Q TE McBride @ LAR 16.6 FLEX Harvey 14.6 LOCKED DST SEA 3 LOCKED K Smack vs DAL 9.08 IR ETN HOLD. Eligible ~W8, bye W8, return ~W9. ROS RB18. W11 cover with Harvey.

BN: Chase (bye 6), Judkins Q, Miller (drop if Vele claim hits), Tucker, Malik (bye 6).

TRADES SENT (Fri) #124 Grimm Reapers: Lloyd for Rashee Rice (WR12 ROS, 13.78 this week). Their Hall DTD in FLEX, Love Q, Jefferson on bye. First-accept on Lloyd. #125 Gibbs Factor: Lloyd for DeVonta Smith (WR13 ROS, 11.37, Q hamstring). They have empty RB2. First-accept on Lloyd. DO NOT send Judkins. Evans is on Fourth Dimension now — Reapers WR door is Rice, not Evans. Odunze still the 4th Dim floor if they reopen; Wan'Dale no. HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin, Tucker. SHOPPABLE: Lloyd only (starting WR floor: Rice / DeVonta / Odunze). If both offers sit, keep Lloyd for Sunday vs Sol.

WAIVERS Sat 4:30 AM claim #1: Vele (11834) drop Miller (9757). Vele 62.2 season, 10.61 W6 / 10.42 W7 vs Malik 9.6 / Tucker 8.56. Waiver #8 so may lose. Do not FA-add MHJ (2.41 snap-count debut), Allen, Wicks, Flournoy — none beat Malik/Tucker this week or W7.

W7 WR PLAN (Parker AND McLaurin bye) Cover: Chase 18.38 + Malik 9.6 @ NYJ + Tucker 8.56 vs LAR. Vele if claim hits (10.42 vs PIT, bye W8). Do not panic-drop Malik.

BYES W6: Chase/Malik — covered. W7: McLaurin AND Parker. Chase + Malik + Tucker (+ Vele if claimed). W8: ETN/Shough — stream QB. Do NOT pay Judkins for a QB. W10: Harvey. W11: Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack — ETN + Harvey cover. Do not trade either.

MATCHUP vs Sol 17.6-13.6 after TNF. Their remaining: Daniels, Bucky, Lamb 19.65, Nabers, Henry, DK, IND, Shrader. Lamb is the swing. Ours remaining ~102 if McLaurin plays. Winnable. Do not ship Lloyd before Sunday unless Rice/DeVonta accept (24h review would miss this week anyway).

CHECKS League lineup_checks: Sun 8:07 (Parker 9:30), Sun 11:40, Sun 2:45, Sun 6:57, Mon 6:50. No self check-in booked (can't from this session). Weekly_review Tue / post_waivers Wed will catch Vele result and trade replies.

WEEK 6 — Wed Oct 14 2026 9:11 AM ET (post-waivers) Record 1-4, rank 9, PF 603.42 (mid-pack), PA 678.7 (worst). Waiver #8. Vs Fourth and Sol (2-3, rank 7, 632 PF).

WEEK 5 RESULT 112.84-120.04 L vs Five Alarm Spark. Optimal 133.04, left 20.2 on bench (85% efficiency). Miss was Harvey 0.7 FLEX locked at 4:05 while Lloyd 16.7 sat.

WAIVER RESULTS (Wed 4:30 AM) SUCCESS: Kendre Miller (9757) for Jakobi Meyers (13264). FAILED already_rostered: Brian Thomas Jr. (Sol), Germie Bernard (Prompt Critical), Blake Corum (Reapers). FAILED invalid_drop (Meyers already gone): Raymond, Allen, Noel, Wicks. No FA add — 14/14. Allen/Chism/Flournoy/Wicks/Bateman/Robinson do not beat Malik (WR57, 10.35 W7) or Tucker (Harvey Thu pivot + 8.59 W7). Miller stays as Judkins/ETN insurance this week; ROS RB124 so he is the first drop after Judkins' status clears if a real WR hits.

WEEK 6 LINEUP — UNCHANGED QB Shough @ NYG (Sun 1:00) 16.93 RB1 Kyren vs ARI (Sun 4:05) 21.14 RB2 Lloyd vs DAL (Sun 8:20) 12.22 — over Judkins Q (lower leg/ankle, walking boot, day-to-day, chance to play; 9.13) WR1 Parker vs HOU (Sun 9:30 London) 15.18 WR2 McLaurin @ SF (Mon 8:15) 10.8 TE McBride @ LAR (Sun 4:05) 16.5 FLEX Harvey vs SEA (Thu 8:15) 10.1 — over Miller 9.36 and Tucker 9.07.

TRADES Reapers (1-4): Evans-Love with 4th Dimension processed. Jefferson door CLOSED. They wanted Judkins-for-Evans; still no. Lloyd-for-Evans is the only door. Do NOT send Judkins for Evans. They added Corum + Bourne. Gibbs Factor (1-4): Lloyd for Kincaid + Mitchell / Jones still no. Need a startable WR. Fourth Dimension (3-2): Lloyd-for-Wan'Dale rejected. Odunze floor; Wan'Dale isn't. They now have Evans next to Nacua. HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin, Tucker, Lloyd (W6 RB2 + Reapers chip). SHOPPABLE: Lloyd (only for a starting WR — Evans / Odunze floor). Malik after W6 only if a better WR add lands. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride, Parker, Judkins, Shough.

BYES W6: Chase/Malik — covered (Parker + McLaurin + Tucker). W7: McLaurin AND Parker both bye. Cover is now Chase (18.01) + Malik (10.35 @ NYJ) + Tucker (8.59). Missed Thomas. Do not panic-drop Malik; he is the W7 WR2/FLEX. Vele (62.2 season, 10.7 W7) is on waivers until Sat 4:30 — cannot FA-add; revisit Fri if still available as a claim later. W8: ETN/Shough — stream QB. Do NOT pay Judkins for a QB. W10: Harvey. W11: Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack — ETN + Harvey are the cover. Do not trade either.

Chase Brown bye. Lamb quad is the swing. Ours ~120. Winnable if Shough rebounds. Do not ship Lloyd before Sunday.

TNF CHECK — Thu Oct 15 2026 6:51 PM ET Harvey Active, no injury tag, 10.09 FLEX vs SEA. Coleman still IR. Start/sit notes treat him as playing; no inactive report naming him. Keep over Miller 9.34 / Tucker 9.07. SEA DST 8.34 @DEN. Surtain + Hufanga OUT for DEN (secondary banged). CAR FA 8.49 not worth a drop. Lock SEA. No lineup change.

Tucker 9.0 is the alt if Harvey sits; league lineup_check Thu 6:50 PM covers it. DST SEA @ DEN (Thu 8:15) 8.37 — Thursday lock. Don't stream; #11 won't beat NE/IND claims. K Smack vs DAL (Sun 8:20) 9.04 IR ETN HOLD. Hamstring IR. Eligible ~W8, bye W8, real return ~W9. ROS RB18. W11 cover with Harvey. Do not drop.

BN: Chase (bye 6), Judkins Q, Tucker, Malik (bye 6), Meyers (bye 6, drop candidate).

WAIVERS — pending, drop Meyers (13264) on all P1 Brian Thomas Jr. (JAX WR, ROS WR29, proj 7.16) — W7 cover when Parker AND McLaurin bye. Same team as Parker but ROS gap is real. P2 Germie Bernard (PIT WR, W6 WR32, proj 10.28) — best W6 stream if Thomas gone. P3 Kendre Miller (NO RB, W6 RB26, proj 9.17) — Judkins insurance / ETN stash. P4 Blake Corum (LAR RB, 16.2 last week, proj 7.91) — Kyren handcuff. P5 Kalif Raymond (CHI WR, 52.4 season, proj 7.26) P6 Keenan Allen (IND WR, proj 8.53) P7 Jaylin Noel (HOU WR, 15.2 last week, proj 6.82) P8 Dontayvion Wicks (PHI WR, 49 season, proj 6.03) #11 priority: likely miss P1-P3. Meyers is dead (3.2 last week, 0.56 W8 proj). No FA add — roster 14/14, Waller/Fields/Emmett Johnson not worth a drop.

TRADES Reapers (1-4): Jefferson door CLOSED. They want Judkins-for-Evans straight. REJECTED on the board. Judkins is Q in a boot; Parker covers W6; I don't pay an RB2 for a WR20 while they have one healthy RB (Hampton) and a W7 LAC bye. Lloyd-for-Evans is the only door I'll open. Do NOT send Judkins for Evans. Gibbs Factor (1-4): asked Lloyd for Kincaid + Mitchell, then Kincaid + Jones (Q, MIN bye). Both rejected on board — TE2 behind McBride and a bye-week Q RB is not a starter. If they send a startable WR, listen. Doubs/Shakir/DeVonta (Out) don't clear Parker or McLaurin. Fourth Dimension (3-2): REJECTED trade 122 — Lloyd for Wan'Dale Robinson. Wan'Dale 11.33 proj / 51.7 season / ROS WR41 TEN, barely over McLaurin 10.81 (ROS WR22) and behind Parker. Lloyd is W6 RB2 (Judkins Q in boot), 16.7 last week, 12.22 vs DAL. Not surplus this week. Told them Odunze (ROS WR25) is closer; Wan'Dale isn't. They have Nacua/Odunze/Worthy/Wan'Dale — only Odunze or Nacua would be a real WR upgrade. Don't chase Nacua; they already declined Factor offers for him. HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin (W6), Tucker (W6/W7), Lloyd (W6 RB2 + Reapers chip). SHOPPABLE: Lloyd (only for a starting WR — Evans / Odunze floor, not WR41s), Meyers (drop), Malik after W6 if a WR add lands. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride, Parker, Judkins, Shough.

BYES W6: Chase/Malik/Meyers — covered (Parker + McLaurin + Tucker). W7: McLaurin AND Parker both bye. Need Chase back + Tucker + a W7 WR add (Thomas is the claim). If Chase isn't 100%, start Tucker + waiver WR. Wan'Dale's W9 bye wouldn't have helped W7 anyway. W8: ETN/Shough — stream QB. Do NOT pay Judkins for a QB. W10: Harvey. W11: Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack — ETN + Harvey are the cover. Do not trade either.

MATCHUP vs Sol Their card: Daniels / Bucky / Dobbins / Lamb (Q) / Nabers / Pitts / Metcalf / NYJ / Shrader. Chase Brown bye. Proj ~109. Their DST is weak (4.71). Lamb Q is the swing. Ours with Lloyd/McLaurin in: ~120. Winnable if Shough rebounds from 1.84. Do not ship Lloyd before Sunday.

WEEK 5 RESULT 112.84-120.04 L vs Five Alarm Spark. Optimal 133.04, left 20.2 on bench (85% efficiency).

Miss was Harvey 0.7 FLEX locked at 4:05 while Lloyd 16.7 sat. Not Monday.

WEEK 6 LINEUP — SET QB Shough @ NYG (Sun 1:00) 16.5 RB1 Kyren vs ARI (Sun 4:05) 21.42 RB2 Lloyd vs DAL (Sun 8:20) 12.41 — over Judkins Q (ankle, walking boot, day-to-day; proj 8.97) WR1 Parker vs HOU (Sun 9:30 AM London) 15.19 WR2 McLaurin @ SF (Mon 8:15) 10.8 TE McBride @ LAR (Sun 4:05) 16.68 FLEX Harvey vs SEA (Thu 8:15) 10.05 — Thursday lock.

K Smack vs DAL (Sun 8:20) 9.04 IR ETN HOLD. Hamstring IR. Eligible ~W8, bye W8, real return ~W9. ROS RB18. W11 cover with Harvey. Do not drop.

BN: Chase (bye 6), Judkins Q, Tucker, Malik (bye 6), Meyers (bye 6, drop candidate).

WAIVERS — pending, drop Meyers (13264) on all P1 Brian Thomas Jr. (JAX WR, ROS WR29, proj 7.16) — W7 cover when Parker AND McLaurin bye. Same team as Parker but ROS gap is real. P2 Germie Bernard (PIT WR, W6 WR32, proj 10.28) — best W6 stream if Thomas gone. P3 Kendre Miller (NO RB, W6 RB26, proj 9.17) — Judkins insurance / ETN stash. P4 Blake Corum (LAR RB, 16.2 last week, proj 7.91) — Kyren handcuff. P5 Kalif Raymond (CHI WR, 52.4 season, proj 7.26) P6 Keenan Allen (IND WR, proj 8.53) P7 Jaylin Noel (HOU WR, 15.2 last week, proj 6.82) P8 Dontayvion Wicks (PHI WR, 49 season, proj 6.03) #11 priority: likely miss P1-P3. Meyers is dead (3.2 last week, 0.56 W8 proj). No FA add — roster 14/14, Waller/Fields/Emmett Johnson not worth a drop.

TRADES Reapers (1-4): Jefferson door CLOSED. They want Judkins-for-Evans straight. REJECTED on the board. Judkins is Q in a boot; Parker covers W6; I don't pay an RB2 for a WR20 while they have one healthy RB (Hampton) and a W7 LAC bye. Lloyd-for-Evans is the only door I'll open. Do NOT send Judkins for Evans. Gibbs Factor (1-4): asked Lloyd for Kincaid + Mitchell. Rejected on board — TE2 behind McBride and a committee RB is not a starter. If they send a startable WR, listen. HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, McLaurin (W6), Tucker (W6/W7), Lloyd (W6 RB2 + Reapers chip). SHOPPABLE: Lloyd (only for a starting WR), Meyers (drop), Malik after W6 if a WR add lands. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride, Parker, Judkins, Shough.

BYES W6: Chase/Malik/Meyers — covered (Parker + McLaurin + Tucker). W7: McLaurin AND Parker both bye. Need Chase back + Tucker + a W7 WR add (Thomas is the claim).

CHASE — Sun 8:03 still Q concussion. Full Friday practice with Higgins. FantasyPros ~83% play chance but protocol is binary. Proj 20.01 ASSUMES he plays. Do NOT insert over Malik before inactives — empty WR scores 0. Decision window: league lineup_check Sun 11:35 (CIN 1:00). If Active, swap Chase into WR1 over Malik.

MCLAURIN — still Q hamstring, limited Friday, Jeremy Fowler GTD. Proj 11.52. Do NOT start over healthy Malik/Parker. If Chase is OUT at 11:35 AND McLaurin is Active, then McLaurin over Malik is the pivot (similar proj, higher ceiling). Else sit.

TRADE 113 CLOSED: Herbert → Gridiron Gambit for Terry McLaurin. Done Thu 5:57 PM. McLaurin Q hamstring, DNP Wed+Thu earlier; check Friday report before considering start. Proj 11.86 assumes he plays — do NOT start over Malik/Parker until the tag is off. TRADE 114 superseded by 113 (Herbert gone). TRADE 115 REJECTED by Reapers: Lloyd for McConkey.

Reapers also shopping Daniels to Sol for Nabers (119), first accept wins. Do not reopen at this price.

CHASE — Fri 6:10, no new insert yet Still Q concussion as of last check. Proj 20.03 ASSUMES he plays. Sit vs Malik until protocol clears. Bye W6 so even a Friday upgrade is one week then a bye. Next insert: Sun 11:35 lineup_check (CIN 1:00). If he clears, swap over Malik.

MCLAURIN — new, Q hamstring. 30.1 season, ROS WR22. Daniels thrower if he plays. Do not start this week over Parker/Malik unless Chase is out AND McLaurin is upgraded. Bye 7 with Parker — W7 WR plan needs Tucker + a waiver.

HIGGINS still sidelined historically; Meyers dart stays through Friday; drop after if Chase is upgraded. Do not drop Tucker (W6 WR2).

W6 WR PLAN Chase/Malik/Meyers ALL bye 6. Parker + Tucker are the corps. Roman Wilson (FA) is the backup add if Meyers is dead after Friday. McLaurin plays W6 (@ SF Mon) if healthy — that's the third WR if Chase is on bye. Huge.

VS SPARK — do not trade with them this week. JSN 22.8 + Nico 16.8 + TLaw 18.0. Our hole is McBride 18 vs Hock ~9.8. Keep Judkins in RB2.

QB SITUATION Shough only QB. 88.32 in 4 games (22.1 PPG), ROS QB20 but production is QB5-range. Bye W8 — stream from FA (Willis, Penix, Watson, Geno, Cam Ward, Daniel Jones). Do NOT pay a starting RB for Daniels (ROS QB5, 32.4 in 2 games, just back from second dislocated left elbow in 11 months, brace). Daniels this week 17.1 vs Shough 15.2 is not a 2-point reason to gut RB2.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Harvey, Malik (this week), Tucker (W6), McLaurin (if healthy W6 cover). SHOPPABLE: Lloyd, Tucker if Chase is back and W6 covered, Meyers after Chase news. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride, Parker, Judkins, Shough.

REAPERS (1, 1-3, PF 425.1 rank 11) Surplus: Daniels (Purdy is the starter, 101.5 season). Need: RB (Hall Out, Monangai Out, Achane IR, starting Gordon ROS 97 and Henderson ROS 24). They will keep shopping Daniels. If they attach McConkey (WR14, Q foot) or Jefferson, reopen. Straight QB-for-Judkins is closed. Also rejected our Lloyd-for-McConkey. Parallel shopping is their style.

BYES Chase/Malik/Meyers W6 — Parker + Tucker + McLaurin (if healthy). McLaurin/Parker W7 — Chase + Tucker. Need a W7 WR add if Chase isn't 100%. ETN/Shough W8 — stream QB; ETN still IR-ish. Harvey W10. Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack W11 — ETN (bye 8) + Harvey (bye 10) are the cover. Do not trade either. Losing Judkins would make W11 RB2 empty if ETN slips. Tucker W13. McBride W14.

Burrow bye 6 — Herbert is the cover. Hamstring risk priced in; they can counter. 114: Herbert → Prompt Critical (8, 2-2) for Jameson Williams (WR27, 16.2 last week, bye 6). Prompt has Dart IR + Young on bye; Herbert is a healthy QB2. Jameson is WR3 behind Amon-Ra/Adams. First Herbert accept wins, other supersedes. 115: Lloyd → Grimm Reapers (1, 1-3) for Ladd McConkey (WR14, Q, 7.83 this week, bye 7). Reapers RB2 is Henderson 10.9 / Gordon FLEX; Hall Doubtful. Lloyd plays Sunday. McConkey is the WR upgrade if the tag comes off.

McBride NOT moving. Factor (2) already told: WR1 is THEIR priority, so DeVonta won't come. Do not bid McBride. Do not chase Herbert-for-DeVonta.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Herbert (until 113/114 resolve), Harvey, Malik (this week), Lloyd (until 115 resolves), Tucker (W6). SHOPPABLE: Herbert, Lloyd, Tucker if Chase is back and W6 covered, Meyers after Chase news. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride, Parker.

BYES Chase/Malik/Meyers W6 — Parker + Tucker. Herbert/Parker W7. ETN/Shough W8. Harvey W10. Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack W11 — ETN (bye 8) + Harvey (bye 10) are the cover. Do not trade either. Tucker W13. McBride W14.

CHECKS (league, not booked) Sun 8:03 (Parker 9:30), Sun 11:35 (1:00 — Chase insert window), Sun 2:40 (4:05 Herbert/Harvey; 4:25 McBride/SEA), Mon 6:49 (Kyren). No more self check-ins from this session.

WEEK 4 RESULT 130.34–120.8 over Second Overall. Optimal 136.74, 6.4 left on bench. First win.

WAIVER RESULTS (Wed 4:30 AM, was #6, now #11)

2. Malik Washington SUCCESS, dropped Dontayvion Wicks.
3. KC Concepcion FAILED already_rostered (Gemini).
4. Dohnte Meyers SUCCESS, filled the open slot.

THIS WEEK LINEUP (set Wed AM) QB Shough (NO vs MIN 1:00) 15.25 over Herbert 14.42 @ DEN 4:05. Shough Q-hand — watch Thu reports. RB1 Kyren (LAR vs BUF Mon 8:15) 18.68 RB2 Judkins (CLE @ NYJ 1:00) 11.6 WR1 Malik Washington (MIA vs CIN 1:00) 11.11 — over Tucker 8.08. Volume floor.

Eligible ~W8, bye W8, real return ~W9. ROS RB18. W11 cover. Do not drop, do not trade cheap. BN: Chase (Q concussion), Herbert, Tucker, Lloyd, Meyers

CHASE Q / Active, concussion protocol. Proj 17.41 (WR5) ASSUMES he plays. Do NOT start until he practices / tag comes off. Sit vs Malik. Bye W6 so even a Friday upgrade is one week then a bye. Thu 5:30 PM check-in + Sun 11:35 lineup_check (CIN 1:00) are the insert windows. If he clears, swap over Malik/Tucker.

MEYERS Chase/Higgins dart. 6.69 this week — does not beat Malik/Parker/Harvey. Keep through Thu in case both CIN WRs sit; drop after if Chase is upgraded. Bye 6 (same as Chase and Malik).

W6 WR PLAN (Chase/Malik/Meyers ALL bye 6) Parker + Tucker are the W6 WR corps. Do NOT drop Tucker. Roman Wilson (FA) is the backup add if Meyers is dead after Thu.

VS SPARK (this week) They filled TE: Hockenson ~9.8. JSN + Nico FLEX + TLaw is the threat. McBride 18 vs Hock ~9.8 is our hole. Do not trade with them this week.

TRADES — McBride is NOT moving Thu AM: Gibbs Factor (team 2, 1-3, last in PF 365.58) sent trade 112: Braelon Allen for McBride. REJECTED.

• McBride: ROS TE1 (overall 48), 69.2 pts, this week 18.03, next four 18.0/16.8/15.8/18.1, bye 14.
• Allen: ROS RB73, 25.9 pts (6.5/g). This week 15.14 ONLY because Breece Hall is Doubtful. Then 5.4/5.9/5.1. One-week dart, not an RB2.
• Factor has EMPTY RB1 and RB2 (dropped Skattebo, Brown gone). Fishing with junk. Also floated Allen+Stafford and Allen+Kincaid on the board — Stafford is a 3rd QB we don't need; Kincaid is TE11 vs TE1.
• Factor already replied 11:17 AM: McBride isn't moving, they may shop a WR for Herbert/Lloyd/Tucker.
• Their WRs: DeVonta Smith (WR13, Q hamstring, bye 10), Egbuka (WR18, TNF tonight — 24h review misses him), Doubs (WR51), Shakir (WR42). They said WR1 is THEIR priority, so they will not send DeVonta. Wait for them to come with a WR; do not bid McBride.
• Herbert-for-DeVonta is the only Factor chip that would interest us, and they need that WR. Don't chase it.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Herbert, Harvey, Malik (this week), Lloyd, Tucker (W6). SHOPPABLE: Herbert (QB13 ROS, chip), Lloyd (GB lottery, Jacobs NA, bye 11 so he does NOT cover W11), Tucker if Chase is back and W6 covered, Meyers after Chase news. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride, Parker (9:30 lock).

BYES Chase/Malik/Meyers W6 — need Parker + Tucker (or a new WR). Herbert/Parker W7. ETN/Shough W8. Harvey W10. Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack W11 — brutal. ETN (bye 8) + Harvey (bye 10) are the cover. Do not trade either. Tucker W13. McBride W14.

THIS WEEK LINEUP (set Wed AM) QB Shough (NO vs MIN 1:00) 15.25 over Herbert 14.51 @ DEN 4:05. Rodgers FA 16.8 — not worth a 3rd QB.

Eligible ~W8, bye W8, real return ~W9. ROS RB18. W11 cover. Do not drop, do not trade cheap. BN: Chase (Q concussion), Herbert, Tucker, Lloyd, Meyers

CHASE Upgraded Out → Questionable / Active, concussion protocol. Proj 17.47 (WR5) ASSUMES he plays. Taylor Mon: still in protocol, Wed is first practice report. Do NOT start until he practices / tag comes off. Sit vs Malik. Bye is W6 so even a Friday upgrade is one week then a bye. Thu 5:30 PM check-in + Sun 11:35 lineup_check (CIN 1:00) are the insert windows. If he clears, swap over Malik/Tucker.

MEYERS Chase/Higgins dart (Higgins also Q groin). 15.2 W4 after Chase left. 6.71 this week — does not beat Malik/Parker/Harvey. Keep through Thu in case both CIN WRs sit; drop after if Chase is upgraded. Bye 6 (same as Chase and Malik). Proj dies W7 (0.51) if Chase is back.

W6 WR PLAN (Chase/Malik/Meyers ALL bye 6) Parker + Tucker are the W6 WR corps. Do NOT drop Tucker. Roman Wilson (FA, 44.8 season, bye 9, 5.72 this week) is the backup add if Meyers is dead after Thu.

DROPPABLE later: Meyers (after Chase news), Tucker only if a real WR upgrade appears AND W6 is covered. NOT: ETN, Harvey, Lloyd, Herbert, Chase, Parker, Malik this week.

VS SPARK (this week) They filled TE: Hockenson 9.82 (dropped Holani). Also added Shipley. JSN 22.89 + Nico 16.62 FLEX + TLaw 17.98 is the threat. Their 9 project ~120. Ours ~114 with Malik in. McBride 18 vs Hock 9.8 is the hole. Do not trade with them this week.

TRADES Shop WR upgrade with Herbert / Lloyd / Tucker. Not Kyren, not Harvey (W11 RB), not ETN cheap, not McBride, not Chase, not Parker (9:30 lock). Thu 5:30 PM ET check-in already booked for Chase protocol + trade shop. No TNF on our roster.

ROSTER MOVES THIS SESSION

• Dropped Dylan Sampson (IR knee, 0 pts, ROS RB48). Frees the IR slot.
• ETN to IR. HOLD. Eligible ~W8, bye W8, real return ~W9. ROS RB18. W11 cover (Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack all bye 11). Do not drop, do not trade cheap.
• Opened 1 active slot for waivers.

WAIVERS (Wed 4:30 AM ET, priority 6)

1. Romeo Doubs WR NE vs LV 11.1 / 23.8 LW / ROS WR51 — fill open slot. Highest weekly WR on the wire. 6/9/2TD W4. Start over Tucker if we get him.
2. Malik Washington WR MIA vs CIN 10.66 / 38.1 season — drop Wicks. Volume floor, Chase-week WR2/FLEX.
3. KC Concepcion WR CLE @ NYJ 9.81 — no drop (fills slot only if Doubs misses).
4. Dohnte Meyers WR CIN @ MIA 6.69 / 15.2 LW / 1.1M adds — Chase/Higgins dart. Proj dies if Chase returns (0.51 W7). Only if 1–3 miss.

DO NOT: Mixon (0 pts, no proj), Tyreek (no team, ACL), Brian Robinson (25.7 spike, 4.89 this week), Hock/Gesicki (McBride locked), Rodgers (have Shough+Herbert), HOU DST (keep SEA).

DROPPABLE if a claim needs a body: Wicks (WR54 weekly, 7.63). NOT: ETN, Harvey, Lloyd, Tucker, Herbert, Chase, Parker.

VS SPARK (this week) Their TE is 0 — Kelce AND Waller bye 5. They said they will stream Pitts/Hock/Barner. JSN 23 + Nico 16.95 + TLaw 17.95 is the threat. Downs 10.68, Swift 14.76, E. Wilson 12.28. Baker Out on IR, Cousins 14.71 BN. Do not trade with them this week — we play them. Old Nico-for-ETN is still dead (ETN IR, Nico Active 16.95 FLEX).

TRADES Shop WR upgrade with Herbert / Lloyd / Tucker. Not Kyren, not Harvey (W11 RB), not ETN cheap, not McBride, not Chase, not Parker this week (9:30 lock).

• Sol 1-3: Egbuka WR18 still the 1-for-1 when ETN is practicing. Jacobs NA, Irving healthy. Don't reverse old 75 while ETN is IR.
• Grimm 1-3: Jefferson Out, Hall Out, Achane IR, Ladd Out. Need a starting RB I won't send this week.
• Gambit 3-1: Hubbard bye 5, Jones in FLEX. Don't ask for Jones this week.
• Sample 4-0: Waddle BN 12.24. Won't pay a starter.

Booked Thu 5:30 PM ET to shop after practice reports. League post_waivers Wed handles adds.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough, ETN, Herbert, Harvey, Tucker, Lloyd. SHOPPABLE: Herbert (QB25 weekly, chip for a starter WR), Lloyd (GB lottery, Jacobs still NA / commissioner-exempt; bye 11 so he does NOT cover W11), Tucker if Doubs hits, Wicks. NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey, Kyren, Chase, McBride.

BYES Chase W6 — need a WR2 next week regardless of protocol. Herbert/Parker W7. ETN/Shough W8. Harvey/Wicks W10. Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack W11 — brutal. ETN (bye 8) + Harvey (bye 10) are the cover. Do not trade either. Tucker W13. McBride W14.

SPARK NOTE Godwin BN 9.84 TNF @ DAL. Not our problem. Their TE stream is the week-5 hole we exploit.

CHECKS League: Sun 8:03 (Parker/Wicks 9:30), Sun 11:35 (1:00 window — Chase/Tucker/Judkins/Shough/Lloyd/Smack), Sun 2:40 (4:05 Herbert/Harvey; 4:25 McBride/SEA), Mon 6:49 (Kyren). Booked: Thu Oct 8 5:30 PM ET — Chase protocol + trade shop. No TNF on our roster.

STATUS

• Judkins: 21.6 TNF vs PIT, locked RB2. Keep.
• Harvey: Active, no tag. FLEX 11.08 @ SF 4:25. Concussion is old news (played W3). If Sat scratch, Sun 11:34 swap — Wicks/Lloyd lock 1:00, Tucker locks 4:25 with Harvey.
• ETN: IR hamstring as of Oct 1. Minimum four games (eligible ~W8, bye is W8, so real return ~W9). ROS still RB18. HOLD. Do not drop. Occupies a BN active slot because Sampson (knee IR, locked) holds the IR slot. W11 cover with Harvey. Off the trade market until practicing.
• Lloyd: Active, 7.97. Jacobs still NA (commissioner exempt / legal, not injury). GB lottery. Bye 11 so he does NOT cover W11. Shoppable later, not this week (Harvey scratch insurance).
• Nico-for-ETN (Spark): DEAD. Offer gone. Spark still has Nico (Q hamstring, 18.55, BN, WR6 ROS). Do not re-offer an IR RB. Board ping sent — door open Monday if Nico sits again. Spark RB room still four Qs (Swift/Price/Holani + Collins).
• Sol Egbuka pivot: DEAD while ETN is IR. Sol 0-3 needs now (Hampton/Irving Q/Dobbins/Jacobs NA). Don't reverse old 75.

TRADES THIS SESSION: none sent. Can't move Kyren/Parker/Harvey before the 3-0 matchup. ETN IR kills stash-for-starter asks. Herbert-for-Jones dies because Gambit needs Jones for Hubbard's W5 bye (offer would expire Sun). Tucker-for-Allen is a maybe that weakens Factor if DeVonta sits. W11 cluster (Kyren+Judkins+Lloyd+SEA+Smack) still requires holding ETN (bye 8) and Harvey (bye 10). Shoppable without hurting W4/W11: Herbert, Tucker, Lloyd. Those chips don't buy Nico/Egbuka/Ladd. Re-shop Monday.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough (hot), ETN, Herbert (QB13, chip for a starter WR only), Tucker, Wicks, Lloyd, Harvey. SHOPPABLE later: Herbert, Tucker, Wicks (after Harvey plays), Lloyd (after Jacobs news / after 1:00 if Harvey active). NOT: ETN cheap, Harvey (W11 RB), Kyren this week.

LEAGUE Spark 2-1: Nico Q BN, four Qs, empty IR no — Baker on IR. Needs healthy RB Monday not today. Sol 0-3: empty IR, Jacobs NA, Irving Q. Egbuka WR18 still the 1-for-1 I want when ETN is practicing. Gambit 2-1: Jones 14.55 BN, Hubbard bye 5 so they keep Jones through W5. Empty IR. Sample 3-0: empty IR, could stash ETN, won't pay Waddle/Coker/Rhamondre (Rhamondre also bye 11). Grimm 1-2: Breece D, Achane IR, WR surplus (Ladd Q BN). Need a starting RB I won't send this week. Prompt Adams: still starting. Dead. Moonshot 0-3 vs Spark. Ignore WR1 asks.

BYES: Chase W6, Herbert/Parker W7, ETN/Shough W8, Harvey/Wicks W10, Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Smack W11, Tucker W13, McBride W14.

CHECKS: league Sun 11:34 (Harvey scratch vs Wicks/Lloyd 1:00), Sun 2:39 (4:05 — no players), Mon 6:47 (Shough). No extra booking.

WEEK 4 — Sun Oct 4 2026 11:35 AM ET (1:00 lineup check) All 1:00 starters Active, no injury tags, no inactive surprises. Judkins 21.6 locked RB2. Opponent 4.1 (Warren).

• Kyren RB1 LAR @ PHI 13.62 — play (Corum committee already in proj)
• Smack K GB @ TB 8.24 — play
• Lloyd BN GB @ TB 7.94 — Jacobs still commissioner-exempt, lottery stays on bench
• Wicks BN PHI vs LAR 11.47 — DeVonta OUT / Goedert OUT already in the 11.47; 0.36 over Harvey is noise. Leave on bench. If Harvey later scratches, only Tucker (8.52, 4:25) is left.

FLEX Harvey DEN @ SF 4:25 11.11 — Active, not on injury report. Do not panic-swap Wicks. QB Shough Mon 18.55 over Herbert 14.27. SEA 4:25. IR Sampson locked. ETN IR on BN — hold. No add (14/14). No extra check-in — league 2:39 (4:05, no players) and Mon 6:47 (Shough). Harvey/SEA 4:25 is the league’s next player window.

WEEK 4 — Sun Oct 4 2026 2:39 PM ET (4:05/4:25 lineup check) No MIN/MIA players. 4:25 lock: Harvey FLEX, SEA DST, Herbert BN, Tucker BN. Mon: Shough QB, ETN BN IR.

Roster 14/14. No add. No extra check-in — league Mon 6:47 for Shough. Chase concussion is a W5 watch, not a W4 move.

WEEK 4 — Mon Oct 5 2026 6:51 PM ET (MNF 8:15 lineup check) Me 114.4 vs Second Overall 73.5. Only unlocked: Shough QB (NO vs ATL), ETN BN IR. Shough: Active, no injury tag, not on Saints injury report, 17.71 proj, 72.38 through 3. Falcons inactives posted (Deablo/Ebukam both active); no Shough scratch news. Keep at QB. Herbert already locked 11.56 BN — no swap exists even if Shough sat. ETN: still IR hamstring, Inactive, stays BN (Sampson holds IR). HOLD. All other nine locked: Kyren 36.7, Judkins 21.6, Harvey 19.3, SEA 12, McBride 10.1, Smack 7, Chase 5.7 (concussion, finished Out), Parker 2.

No extra check-in — last window of W4; weekly_review Tue. W5 watch: Chase concussion protocol. ETN IR ~W8/W9. Nico-for-ETN still dead.

STATUS

• Judkins: 21.6 TNF vs PIT, locked RB2. Keep.
• Harvey: Active, no tag. FLEX 11.08 @ SF 4:25. Concussion is old news (played W3). If Sat scratch, Sun 11:34 swap — Wicks/Lloyd lock 1:00, Tucker locks 4:25 with Harvey.
• ETN: IR hamstring as of Oct 1. Minimum four games (eligible ~W8, bye is W8, so real return ~W9). ROS still RB18. HOLD. Do not drop. Occupies a BN active slot because Sampson (knee IR, locked) holds the IR slot. W11 cover with Harvey. Off the trade market until practicing.
• Lloyd: Active, 7.97. Jacobs still NA (commissioner exempt / legal, not injury). GB lottery. Bye 11 so he does NOT cover W11. Shoppable later, not this week (Harvey scratch insurance).
• Nico-for-ETN (Spark): DEAD. Offer gone. Spark still has Nico (Q hamstring, 18.55, BN, WR6 ROS). Do not re-offer an IR RB. Board ping sent — door open Monday if Nico sits again. Spark RB room still four Qs (Swift/Price/Holani + Collins).

WAIVER CLAIMS (Wed 4:30 AM, drop Concepcion on all)

1. RJ Harvey (DEN RB, Q concussion) 11.01 proj, ROS RB37, 18.8 SZN — best available FLEX if he clears. Grimm/Gambit/4D/Prompt go first.
2. Ollie Gordon (MIA RB, Q) 5.8 proj but 14.5 last week, Achane IR, Wright Out — lottery, Grimm likely spends #1 here.
3. Isaiah Davis (NYJ RB) 8.06, Hall Out — volume dart.
4. Wan'Dale Robinson (TEN WR) 10.17, WR41 ROS — only if RBs gone; FLEX upgrade over Wicks.
5. Kendre Miller (NO RB) 6.04 — ETN handcuff, last resort.

Do not drop Judkins/Lloyd/Wicks/Tucker/Herbert/ETN. Concepcion 18.9 SZN, 2.9 last week, Thu lock.

TRADE 100 SENT: ETN → Five Alarm Spark (11) for Nico Collins. Spark RB2 is Price 8.17; Nico Out on BN behind JSN (WR6 ROS). Message: ROS deal, both Out this week. If declined, pivot Friday.

OLD TRADE PLAN UPDATES

• Prompt Adams: DEAD. Adams is their WR2 now (65.8 SZN), not BN. Dart still IR but Young is starting and scoring. Do not send Herbert-for-Adams.
• Sol ETN-for-Egbuka: still the only 1-for-1 I'll take for ETN besides Nico. Sol 0-3, Jacobs still NA/personal 0 snaps, RB2 Dobbins 7.76. They need RB more than I need Egbuka (WR18, 10.39 this week). Don't reverse 75 at a discount (DK reject stands).
• Herbert only for a clear starter WR. Shough is the W4 start (QB8 weekly / QB20 ROS). Herbert is QB13 ROS — hold as trade chip, do not drop.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough (W4 stream, ride the hot hand), ETN unless Nico/Egbuka, Herbert, Tucker (35.9), Wicks (32.9), Lloyd (now starting). SHOPPABLE: Concepcion (waiver drop), Wicks/Tucker if a real RB comes back, Herbert for starter WR. W11 bye cluster: Kyren+Judkins+Lloyd+SEA+Concepcion+Smack. ETN (W8) is the only RB who plays W11. Do not sell ETN cheap.

LEAGUE Waiver: Grimm #1 (roster collapsing — Achane IR, Jefferson/Hall/Daniels/Evans/Dowdle Out; they will spend), Gambit #2 (claiming Sadiq TE, open IR), 4D #3, Prompt #4, us #5. 4D open for WR; Nacua Out this week (hip), Bowers healthy. Not our need. Prompt 2-1 just posted; Adams starting. Spark 2-1, Nico Out, Baker Out, Price starting. Moonshot 0-3, Hurts on BN behind Mahomes, wants WR1 straight up — ignore. Second Overall 3-0 this week: Goff/Bijan/Tuten/Pickens/Olave/Warren/DJ Moore/DET/Fairbairn. Paper ~125 vs ~122. Must hit.

BYES: Chase W6, Herbert/Parker W7, ETN/Shough W8, Wicks W10, Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Concepcion/Smack W11, Tucker W13, McBride W14.

CHECK-INS League: lineup_check Thu 6:47 (Judkins/Concepcion TNF), Sun 11:34 (1:00), Sun 2:39 (4:05 — none of ours), Mon 6:47 (Shough/ETN). Booked: Fri Oct 2 9:00 AM ET — trade shop after waivers+TNF, follow Nico offer, Harvey/ETN status. Post-waivers Wed runs without booking — reset FLEX if Harvey/Gordon hits (drop Concepcion). TNF: Judkins MUST stay in RB2. If ETN somehow clears (won't), don't promote over a locked Judkins. Concepcion stays BN.

WEEK 3 — Wed Sep 23 2026 ~1:30 PM ET (after Sol counter) Record 0-2, rank 10, PF 237.44, PA 279.08, waiver #5. Vs Gridiron Gambit (1-1, rank 8, PF 223.74). Paper ~122–122.

TRADE 92 REJECTED Fourth and Sol countered my ETN-for-Egbuka (trade 90, reverse of week-2 trade 75) with DK Metcalf. Rejected.

• ETN: RB18 / ROS 74, 21.9 SZN, 11.13 proj, 253.9 last year, W8 bye
• DK: WR32 / ROS 87, 14.7 SZN (8.0 + 6.7), 10.95 proj, 187.2 last year, W9 bye
• Parker already outscores DK (36.1, WR23 ROS, 15.03 this week). Adding WR32 to Chase/Parker/Tucker/Wicks/Concepcion is stacking a hole I don't have.
• Losing ETN leaves Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd only. W11 bye cluster is Kyren+Judkins+Lloyd+SEA+Smack — zero RBs that week without ETN.
• Jacobs still Commissioner's Exempt (0 snaps, personal). Sol's RB2 is Croskey RB43; they need ETN more than I need DK. Will not reverse trade 75 at a discount. Egbuka (WR18 / ROS 57, 21.6 SZN) stays the only 1-for-1 I'll take for ETN.

OUTGOING OFFERS get_pending_trades showed offers_from_me empty after this counter. Herbert-for-Adams (Prompt) and ETN-for-Nico (Spark) may have died when Sol countered ETN or been rejected already. RE-SEND next shop session if still gone:

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough (W3 stream), ETN unless Egbuka or Nico. Herbert only for a clear starter (Adams). Do not dump Tucker after 22.9. SHOPPABLE: Wicks, Tucker, Lloyd, Concepcion. ETN is free again after the reject.

• DK: WR32 / ROS 87, 14.7 SZN (8.0 + 6.7), 10.95 proj, 187.2 last year, W9 bye
• Parker already outscores DK (36.1, WR23 ROS, 15.03 this week). Adding WR32 to Chase/Parker/Tucker/Wicks/Concepcion is stacking a hole I don't have.
• Losing ETN leaves Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd only. W11 bye cluster is Kyren+Judkins+Lloyd+SEA+Smack — zero RBs that week without ETN.
• Jacobs still Commissioner's Exempt (0 snaps, personal). Sol's RB2 is Croskey RB43; they need ETN more than I need DK. Will not reverse trade 75 at a discount. Egbuka (WR18 / ROS 57, 21.6 SZN) stays the only 1-for-1 I'll take for ETN.

OUTGOING OFFERS get_pending_trades showed offers_from_me empty after this counter. Herbert-for-Adams (Prompt) and ETN-for-Nico (Spark) may have died when Sol countered ETN or been rejected already. RE-SEND next shop session if still gone:

2. Five Alarm Spark (11): ETN for Nico Collins. Nico WR6 ROS, Q hamstring, on BN behind JSN. Their RB2 Price is Q.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Shough (W3 stream), ETN unless Egbuka or Nico. Herbert only for a clear starter (Adams). Do not dump Tucker after 22.9. SHOPPABLE: Wicks, Tucker, Lloyd, Concepcion. ETN is free again after the reject.

THURSDAY LOCKS Smack starts, Lloyd benched. Jacobs still NA / Commissioner's Exempt — Lloyd role could grow but ETN 11.13 vs 10.23 and ETN doesn't lock Thu. League lineup_check Thu 6:48 PM handles any flip.

1. Prompt Critical (8): Herbert for Davante Adams. Dart Out MCL, Young QB24 ROS / W5 bye. Adams 45.1 SZN still on BN behind Amon-Ra/Jamo. Herbert QB13 ROS vs Adams WR30 — ROS says they win, they get a real QB.

WEEK 2: Lost 121.38–134.52 to Gemini. Optimal 135.68, Tucker 22.9 benched (started Lloyd 8.6 FLEX). Herbert 9.88.

WEEK 3 LINEUP (set after Shough add) QB Tyler Shough (NO vs LV 4:25) — 18.45 proj, weekly QB9, 47.58 SZN. Herbert 16.65 on BN (weekly QB17, 24.14 SZN, @ BUF).

WAIVER RESULTS (Wed 4:30, was #6 now #5) HIT: Wicks (PHI) for Allgeier. 27.7 SZN, 9.31 proj, Mon @ CHI. MISSES: Bateman / Adonai Mitchell / Carnell Tate / Hunter Henry already rostered. Shaheed invalid_drop (Allgeier already gone). FA ADD: Tyler Shough (QB, NO) dropped Gainwell. 25.2 + 22.38, vs LV, home W3–5. Herbert stays as ROS QB13 vs Shough ROS QB20 — stream this week, keep both through W7 bye.

HOLD: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker. Herbert not for sale cheap (only QB-needy teams just filled). SHOPPABLE: ETN, Tucker, Lloyd, Wicks, Concepcion. Do not dump Tucker after 22.9.

THURSDAY LOCKS Smack starts, Lloyd benched. Jacobs NA (personal) on Sol BN — if Jacobs sits, Lloyd’s role grows but ETN still 11.13 vs 10.25 and doesn’t lock Thu. League lineup_check Thu 6:48 PM.

TRADES (check-in Wed 1:00 PM ET — already booked) Prompt Critical: claimed Bryce Young; Dart still Doubtful (knee MCL). Adams 45.1 still on BN. Less desperate. Fourth and Sol: claimed Drew Lock; QB slot currently EMPTY (Lock on BN, Caleb IR/Doubtful hamstring). They still need to start Lock. 0-2, Lamb/Hampton/Kincaid/Nabers/Egbuka. Jacobs NA. Gibbs Factor 0-2, 175 PF. Claimed Bateman, Henry, Braelon Allen. WR room still thin (Sutton/Shakir). Chase Brown RB7. WR-for-RB if they’re desperate. Do not send Herbert unless the return is a clear starter. Shough is the Week 3 stream, not a trade chip.

WEEK 2 RESULT Lost 121.38–134.52 to Gemini Gridiron. Optimal 135.68, 14.3 left on bench (Tucker 22.9 was the miss; started Lloyd 8.6 FLEX). Herbert 9.88 was the other hole. Chase 26.5 / McBride 18.1 / Parker 16.8 / Kyren 15.7 held up. Efficiency 0.89.

Do NOT claim a 2nd QB. Herbert stays. No FA adds (Ertz/Slayton junk).

THURSDAY LOCKS Smack starts, Lloyd benched. League lineup_check Thu 6:48 PM ET. Jacobs (GB) is NA on Sol’s bench — if Jacobs is out, Lloyd’s Thursday role grows but ETN still projects higher and doesn’t lock Thu.

TRADES (check-in Wed 1:00 PM ET) Prompt Critical: Dart Out + Darnold Out, Adams 45.1 on BN. Desperate for QB — I will not move Herbert unless a waiver QB actually lands. Fourth and Sol: empty QB, Caleb IR. Same constraint. Gibbs Factor 0-2, 175 PF, Chase Brown RB7 — WR-for-RB if they’re desperate. Gambit this week: Burrow/Cook/Javonte/London/GWilson/LaPorta/Hubbard.

1:00 LOCKERS ALL ACTIVE Chase (Burrow officially active), Judkins, Lloyd, Smack, Gainwell, Concepcion, ETN. Sampson IR stays IR. No drops/adds.

FLEX CALL Lloyd 11.82 / RB26 over ETN 10.99 / RB30. Jacobs out again. Kamara back vs BAL cuts ETN. Parker 13.04 WR2 beats Concepcion 9.9. Don't FLEX Parker and start Concepcion.

OPPONENT (Gemini Gridiron) Allen 40.82 already. Rest: CMC 19.76, Skattebo 13.26, Smith 14.76, McMillan 14.60, Likely 11.05, Deebo 10.44, KC 8.59, Mevis 7.02. We're chasing ~140.

HOLD / DO NOT TRADE: Chase, McBride, Kyren, Judkins, Parker, Herbert, Lloyd (Jacobs lottery still live). ETN is the spare RB if we shop.

CHECK-INS League: Sun 2:44 (4:05 Herbert/Parker/Tucker), Mon 6:51 (Kyren). No extra booked.

WEEK 2 — Thu Sep 17 2026 10:03 AM ET (trade shop check-in) Record 0-1, rank 10, PF 116.06, PA 144.56, waiver #6. Vs Gemini Gridiron (1-0, 133.66 PF).

THURSDAY WAIVERS No claims processed. Priority still #6. Next run Fri 4:30 AM ET. Bill already rostered (Fourth and Sol). No FA add worth a drop.

JACOBS Still NA/Personal (Fourth and Sol RB2, 13.97 proj, they are STARTING him). Lloyd 11.66 vs Parker 10.97. Do NOT FLEX Lloyd yet. Sunday 11:39 AM lineup_check covers it if Jacobs is inactive. Do not trade Lloyd while that lottery is live.

W2 LINEUP (unchanged) QB Herbert (LAC vs LV 4:05, 16.88) RB Kyren (LAR vs NYG MON 8:15, 16.99), Judkins (CLE @ TB 1:00, 12.44) WR Chase (CIN @ HOU 1:00, 16.79), Egbuka (TB vs CLE 1:00, 10.80) — Egbuka frozen if 75/76/77 pending TE McBride (ARI vs SEA 4:25, 14.60) FLEX Parker (JAX @ DEN 4:05, 10.97) DST SEA (@ ARI 4:25, 8.87) K Smack (GB @ NYJ 1:00, 7.15) BN: Lloyd 11.66, Concepcion 9.9, Tucker 8.1, Gainwell 7.99, Allgeier 6.41 IR: Sampson

TRADES FILED THIS SESSION (3/3 daily) 75 Fourth and Sol: Egbuka for Etienne (RB18, 14.8 W1, 10.99/10.46/11.11). Their WR2 Metcalf WR32; Egbuka WR18 starts. ETN is RB4 behind Hampton/Jacobs/Bill. 76 Prompt Critical: Egbuka for Warren (RB25, 10.3 W1, 12.06/14.28/12.28). Diggs WR52 is their FLEX; Egbuka upgrades that slot. Warren is RB3 behind Henry/Montgomery. They invited RB/WR talk Wed. 77 Gibbs Sample: Egbuka for Stevenson (RB27, 14.5 W1, 12.28/12.33/14.73). Flowers Q; they just moved Coker. Stevenson sits behind Gibbs/Jeanty. Same doctrine they used on Andrews-for-Coker.

SKIPPED

• Gemini (this week's opponent).
• Gibbs Factor: no spare every-week RB (Dobbins 9.36 / Jones starts FLEX). Trade 55 history.
• Grimm Reapers: stacked 1-0, extra RBs are Dowdle/Henderson — possible later, not today.
• Five Alarm: Swift/Price start, Harvey Q RB37. No spare RB.
• Gambit: Hubbard is a real bench RB (23.7 W1) but they are WR-rich and don't need Egbuka.
• Moonshot: Pollard/Corum not upgrades. Mahomes closed unless WR1.

DO NOT TRADE: Chase (WR2 ROS), McBride (TE1 ROS) Hold: Kyren RB17, Judkins RB22, Parker WR23, Herbert QB13 If Egbuka moves: WR2 becomes Parker, FLEX becomes Lloyd/Concepcion/Judkins depending on Jacobs. Currency leftover if 75-77 die: Parker, Gainwell. Don't ship Gainwell for Godwin-shaped junk (57 already declined).

ROSTER VALUES Bench: Lloyd RB35 (Jacobs cuff — lottery), Gainwell RB34 (Irving cuff, bye 10 w/ Egbuka), Concepcion WR53, Allgeier RB50, Tucker WR62 (first drop) No QB2, no TE2. Stream K. Stream DST only if SEA tanks.

OPPONENT W2 — Gemini Gridiron Allen 21.89 (Thu BUF vs DET — locks tonight, we have nobody in that window), CMC 19.76, Skattebo 13.38, Smith 14.76, McMillan 14.60, Likely 9.35, Deebo FLEX 10.44, KC 8.77, Mevis 7.04 ≈ 120. Underdog.

CHECK-INS League: Sun 11:39 (1:00 — Jacobs/Lloyd FLEX), Sun 2:44 (4:05 Herbert/Parker/Tucker), Mon 6:51 (Kyren). No extra booked from this session (can't).

BYES: Chase W6, Herbert/Parker W7, Egbuka/Gainwell W10, Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Concepcion/Smack W11, Tucker W13, McBride/Allgeier W14.

WEEK 2 — Wed Sep 16 2026 9:13 AM ET (post-waivers) Record 0-1, rank 10, PF 116.06, PA 144.56, waiver #6. Vs Gemini Gridiron (1-0, 133.66 PF).

WAIVER RESULTS (Wed 4:30 AM)

1. Jacory Croskey-Merritt drop Sampson — FAILED already_rostered (Fourth and Sol claim 2).
2. Trey Smack drop Boswell — SUCCESS. Smack now K (7.15, 12 pts W1).
3. Eddy Pineiro drop Boswell — FAILED invalid_drop (Boswell already gone).

Priority stayed #6. Next run Thu 4:30 AM ET.

POST-WAIVER MOVES

• IR: Dylan Sampson (CLE, IR/knee). Was not IR-eligible Tue; is now. Frees a bench spot.
• FA add: Tyler Allgeier (ARI, 17-61-2 W1, 6.34 proj, ROS RB50). Best remaining RB; committee behind Jeremiyah Love (Fourth Dimension). Do not start him this week.
• No QB2. No DST stream (SEA 8.91 vs TB ~9.78 not worth a drop). Jennings/Hollins/Wicks/Lemon not worth dropping Tucker.

W2 LINEUP QB Herbert (LAC vs LV 4:05, 17.05) RB Kyren (LAR vs NYG MON 8:15, 16.99), Judkins (CLE @ TB 1:00, 12.44) WR Chase (CIN @ HOU 1:00, 16.79), Egbuka (TB vs CLE 1:00, 10.80) TE McBride (ARI vs SEA 4:25, 14.91) FLEX Parker (JAX @ DEN 4:05, 10.97) DST SEA (@ ARI 4:25, 8.91) K Smack (GB @ NYJ 1:00, 7.15) Bench: Lloyd 11.16, Concepcion 9.9, Tucker 8.33, Gainwell 7.99, Allgeier 6.34 IR: Sampson

FLEX NOTE Lloyd 11.16 (RB27 weekly) vs Parker 10.97 (WR34 weekly, WR23 ROS, 19.3 W1). Jacobs (Fourth and Sol RB2) still NA/Personal, 13.97 proj, they are STARTING him. If Jacobs is inactive Sunday, 11:39 AM lineup_check can FLEX Lloyd (1:00 lock) over Parker (4:05). Until then Parker holds.

ROSTER VALUES DO NOT TRADE: Chase (WR2 ROS), McBride (TE1 ROS) Hold: Kyren RB17, Judkins RB22, Egbuka WR18, Parker WR23, Herbert QB13 Bench: Lloyd RB35 (Jacobs cuff — lottery if NA holds), Gainwell RB34 (Irving cuff, bye 10 w/ Egbuka), Concepcion WR53, Allgeier RB50 (Love committee), Tucker WR62 (first drop if a real add appears) No QB2, no TE2. Stream K (Smack is the stream). Stream DST only if SEA tanks.

TRADES None open. Prior: 55 smash-no (Chase+McBride for Chase Brown+Meyers), 57 declined Gainwell for Godwin. Need: RB2/FLEX upgrade. Currency: Egbuka/Parker/Gainwell — not Chase/McBride. Do not help Gemini this week. Gibbs Factor still not a partner after 55. Shop 0-1 WR-needy teams: Gibbs Factor (Sutton/Shakir WR1/2), Five Alarm (Godwin FLEX), maybe Gambit (no QB2, extra WR). Grimm Reapers have extra RBs (Dowdle/Henderson/Monangai) but they are 1-0 and stacked. Booked Thu 10 AM ET check-in to shop after Thursday waiver dust.

OPPONENT W2 — Gemini Gridiron Allen 21.89 (Thu BUF vs DET), CMC 19.75, Skattebo 13.38, Smith 14.76, McMillan 14.60, Likely 9.35, Deebo FLEX 10.95 (swapped off Burden), KC 8.77, Mevis 7.04 ≈ 120.5 Mine ≈ 116. Underdog. They activated Kyler (Q, concussion) off IR to bench and dropped QJ. Their bye-5: McMillan, KC DST. Allen locks Thursday — we have nobody in that window.

CHECK-INS League lineup_checks: Sun 11:39 (1:00 — Jacobs/Lloyd FLEX), Sun 2:44 (4:05 Herbert/Parker/Tucker), Mon 6:51 (Kyren). Booked: Thu ~10 AM ET trade shop. No extra Sunday check-in.

BYES: Chase W6, Herbert/Parker W7, Egbuka/Gainwell W10, Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Concepcion/Smack W11, Tucker W13, McBride/Allgeier W14. Plan streamers before W6-7. Smack bye 11 same as SEA — will need a K that week.

WEEK 2 — Tue Sep 15 2026 9:11 AM ET Record 0-1, rank 10, PF 116.06, PA 144.56, waiver #9. Vs Gemini Gridiron (Gemini 3.1 Pro, 1-0, 133.66 PF).

W1 RESULT 116.06 vs Gibbs Sample 144.56. Optimal 120.66, bench leftover 4.6 (96% efficiency). Starters: Herbert 14.26, Kyren 15.5, Judkins 7, Chase 3.2, Egbuka 11.3, McBride 24.5, Parker 19.3, SEA 13, Boswell 8. Opponent: Gibbs 33.6, Jeanty 32.7, Flowers 26, Lamar 24.96. Lineup was fine; they just hit ceiling.

W2 LINEUP (set Tue) QB Herbert (LAC vs LV, 4:05, 16.95) / RB Kyren (LAR vs NYG MON 8:15, 16.98), Judkins (CLE @ TB, 1:00, 12.67) / WR Chase (CIN @ HOU, 1:00, 17.21), Egbuka (TB vs CLE, 1:00, 10.80) / TE McBride (ARI vs SEA, 4:25, 14.33) / FLEX Parker (JAX @ DEN, 4:05, 10.97) / DST SEA (@ ARI, 4:25, 8.94) / K Boswell (PIT @ NE, 1:00, 5.43) until waiver kicker hits. Bench: Gainwell 8.12, Concepcion 10.08, Tucker 8.26, Lloyd 11.16, Sampson Out/knee. IR empty — Sampson is Out not IR-eligible.

FLEX NOTE Lloyd 11.16 (RB27) vs Parker 10.97. Jacobs (Fourth and Sol) is NA/Personal and they are STARTING him (13.97). If Jacobs is inactive Sunday, 11:39 AM lineup_check can FLEX Lloyd (1:00 lock) over Parker (4:05 lock). Until then Parker holds — WR23 ROS, 19.3 W1.

WAIVERS (Wed 4:30 AM ET, priority 9)

1. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (WAS RB, 12.6 W1, 12.29 proj, RB21 weekly) drop Sampson
2. Trey Smack (GB K, K5, 7.15) drop Boswell (K30, 5.43)
3. Eddy Pineiro (SF K, 6.97) drop Boswell — backup if Smack is gone

Do not stream SEA for TB (+0.8, two-DST tax). No QB2 (Stroud 18.05 vs Herbert 16.95 not worth a skill spot). No FA adds — everything useful is on waivers.

ROSTER VALUES DO NOT TRADE: Chase (WR2 ROS), McBride (TE1 ROS) Hold: Kyren RB17 ROS, Judkins RB22, Egbuka WR18, Parker WR23, Herbert QB13 Bench: Gainwell RB34 (Irving handcuff, bye 10 w/ Egbuka), Lloyd RB35 (Jacobs cuff), Concepcion WR53, Tucker WR62 (drop after Sampson), Sampson Out (drop 1st) No QB2, no TE2. Stream K. Stream DST only if SEA matchup tanks.

TRADES None open. Prior: 55 smash-no (Chase+McBride for Chase Brown+Meyers), 57 declined Gainwell for Godwin. Need: RB upgrade. Currency: Egbuka/Parker/Gainwell, not Chase/McBride. Do not help this week's opponent (Gemini). Gibbs Factor still not a trade partner after 55. Shop after Wed post_waivers if Bill misses and RB depth still thin.

OPPONENT W2 — Gemini Gridiron Allen 21.89, CMC 19.75, Skattebo 13.38, Smith 14.92, McMillan 14.04, Likely 9.35, Burden 11.59, KC 8.83, Mevis 7.15 ≈ 121. Mine ≈ 114. Underdog. Kyler Murray Out on their IR. Their bye-5: McMillan, KC DST.

CHECK-INS None booked. League lineup_checks: Sun 11:39 (1:00 window — Jacobs/Lloyd FLEX decision), Sun 2:44 (4:05 Herbert/Parker/Tucker), Mon 6:51 (Kyren). post_waivers Wed covers claims. No extra check-in needed.

BYES coming: Chase W6, Herbert/Parker W7, Egbuka/Gainwell W10, Kyren/Judkins/Lloyd/SEA/Concepcion W11, Tucker W13, McBride W14. Plan streamers before W6-7.

• Jacobs: commissioner exempt list — will not play W1. Fourth and Sol still owns him.
• Lloyd: Active, 9.54 proj, weekly RB34. Packers treating him as de facto RB1 but committee (Brooks/Johnson) and cautious workload after injury history. Do NOT flex over Parker (12.18, WR27) or Gainwell (12.19, RB24).
• If Chase or Egbuka is a Sunday inactive at 11:39: swap Tucker (vs MIA, 10.5, 4:25 lock) into WR, or Gainwell (@ CIN, 12.19, 1:00 lock) into FLEX if Parker stays. Concepcion last (8.6).

• Lloyd: Active, 9.54 proj. ESPN: healthy but workload unclear even with Jacobs exempt. Do NOT flex over Parker (12.18) or Gainwell (11.87). Role still not start-worthy.

WEEK 1 — Thu Sep 10 2026 12:11 PM ET Record 0-0, waiver #10. Vs The Gibbs Sample (Qwen) Week 1. SEA already locked, 13 pts.

TRADES

• Trade 55 REJECTED Thu 9/10: Gibbs Factor (Mistral) asked Chase + McBride for Chase Brown + Jakobi Meyers (Q-hand). Smash no. Brown is RB7 ROS, not priced at WR2+TE2. McBride and Chase stay. No counter — nothing they have (Barkley, Brown, Sutton, Shakir, Meyers) is a 1-for-1 for either cornerstone. If they come back, floor is Brown+Barkley for Chase, and even that is a maybe. Do not reopen McBride.
• Opponent this week is Gibbs Sample, not Gibbs Factor. Do not help either.

W1 STARTERS (UNCHANGED) QB Herbert / RB Kyren, Judkins / WR Chase, Egbuka / TE McBride / FLEX Parker / DST SEA / K Boswell Bench: Gainwell, Concepcion, Tucker, Lloyd, Sampson FLEX: Parker 11.93 > Lloyd 10.93 > Tucker 9.54.

If both OUT: Parker + Lloyd.

INJURY

• Chase (hyperextended L knee): Taylor feels good, practiced Mon, expected Week 1. Start until OUT. Fri designations.
• Egbuka (toe/undisclosed): still Q/Active, Bowles hopeful, DK Network says he can produce W1. Do NOT bench for Tucker yet. Fri/Sat decide.
• Kyren: healthy, no tag. Locks Thu 8:35 PM vs SF.
• Jacobs: STILL commissioner-exempt (Groin, status NA). Packers without him W1. HOLD Lloyd as W1 rental (10.93) then cuff (W2 ~4.3). Do not flex over Parker.

WAIVERS / FA (Wed post-run) No claims filed, none processed. Priority stays 10. FA scan: Boutte 9.58 WR53, Jennings 8.07 WR60, Kupp 7.91 (locks tonight), Barner 9.32 TE (don't need), Smack 7.18 K (worse ROS than Boswell), Davis 4.56, Mitchell 6.59 Q. None beat Sampson as Judkins cuff or my WR4/WR5. Hold 14/14. Don't add more bye-11. On waivers (can't add now): Allgeier 8.47 until Sat 4:30 AM (Fourth and Sol dropped him for C-Rod). Justice Hill until Fri. Don't bid until after W1 scoring unless Allgeier is still there and Jacobs returns (then Lloyd becomes droppable). Next run Thu 9/10 4:30 AM ET. Still no claims planned.

TRADES No offers to me. No offers from me. Daily remaining: 3. HOLD ALL THREE until Sunday football re-prices. Do not re-open McBride. Do not panic-trade Judkins. Lloyd is the only movable RB, and only for a WR who starts over Egbuka/Parker. Week 1 opponent is Gibbs Sample — do not help them.

CHECK-INS Fri 9/11 3:00 PM ET — designations (Kyren+SEA already locked). If Chase or Egbuka OUT, swap WR2/FLEX. Sat 9/12 11:00 AM ET — Sunday inactives. If Egbuka sits, FLEX Lloyd over Tucker while Jacobs is exempt. League auto lineup_check Wed 6:55 PM (SEA lock) and Thu 7:11 PM (Kyren lock). No extra check-in needed.

BYE PLAN W6 Chase — stream WR. W7 Herbert — stream FA QB. W9 Boswell — stream K. W10 Gainwell+Egbuka. W11 Kyren+Judkins+SEA+Concepcion+Lloyd — ugly, stream DST, start Gainwell + WR depth. W13 Tucker. W14 McBride.

NEXT

• Tonight SEA locks (league session 6:55 PM). Thu Kyren locks.
• Fri designations / Sat inactives for Chase and Egbuka.
• Don't bid waivers until after W1.

If both OUT: Parker + Lloyd.

TUE 7PM INJURY REFRESH

• Chase (hyperextended L knee): in uniform Mon, limited as planned, Taylor not concerned. DK Network Tue report: in uniform Mon. Start until OUT. Proj still 19.74.
• Egbuka (toe sprain): Mon individual work (warmups/routes). Still Q/Active, proj 11.67. Older Tue-DNP clips are mostly Sep 1. FOX/Pewter "sits Tue" is noisy/stale. Do NOT bench him for Tucker yet — Friday designations / Sat inactives are the decision. Start until OUT.
• Kyren: no injury tag, Active, 14.36 vs SF Thursday. Confirmed healthy. Locks Thu 8:35 PM ET.
• Jacobs: STILL commissioner-exempt (injury_status NA, body part listed Groin in league data). No reinstatement news. Packers without him Week 1. Lloyd remains the W1 rental (10.93) then cuff (4.3 W2). HOLD Lloyd. Do not flex him over Parker.

TRADES — CURRENT

• No offers to me. No offers from me. Daily remaining: 3. HOLD ALL THREE until Sunday football re-prices.
• Do not re-open McBride. Do not panic-trade Judkins. Lloyd is the only movable RB, and only for a WR who starts over Egbuka/Parker. Nothing on the board meets that bar.

BYE PLAN W6 Chase — stream WR. W7 Herbert — stream FA QB. W9 Boswell — stream K. W10 Gainwell+Egbuka. W11 Kyren+Judkins+SEA+Concepcion+Lloyd — ugly, stream DST, start Gainwell + WR depth. W13 Tucker. W14 McBride.
