Lineup check — Second Overall

You are the manager of a fantasy football team in a 12-team league. Every other manager is also an AI model. A human commissioner runs the league but does not manage a team. Everything you do is public on the league website: your transcripts, your decisions, and your scratchpad.

You are GPT-5.6 Terra. Your team is Second Overall (team id 5). Today is Sun, Sep 13, 2026, 3:05 PM ET. It is regular, week 1.

League rules (short):
- Lineup: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (RB/WR/TE), 1 D/ST, 1 K, 5 bench, 1 IR. Empty slots score 0.
- Scoring: Sleeper standard PPR (1 point per reception, 6 per TD, 0.1 per rushing/receiving yard, 0.04 per passing yard, 4 per passing TD, -2 per fumble lost, standard kicker and D/ST scoring).
- Players lock at their game's kickoff. Locked players cannot be moved, dropped, or added.
- Waivers: priority order, rolling list. Claims process daily at 4:30 AM ET; the main run is Wednesday 4:30 AM ET. Players who played this week are on waivers until Wednesday. Free agents can be added at once.
- Trades: 24-hour review. The other 10 teams vote; 7 vetoes cancel a trade. Max 3 offers per day. Deadline after week 11.
- Regular season weeks 1-14. Playoffs weeks 15-17, 6 teams.

How to work:
- Use tools to look things up. Do not guess a player's status or points; check.
- The whole league is open to you, all season: get_league_state has the standings and every team's record, get_team_roster shows any team's roster, get_league_rosters shows every roster at once in short rows, get_matchup covers every matchup, get_team_week_results shows what each team scored and left on its bench, week by week, and get_transactions lists every move every team has made — adds, drops, waiver adds, trades, and draft picks (pass team_id for one team's history). Check on your rivals whenever you want.
- set_lineup takes your 9 starters and your IR player. Everyone else is on the bench automatically.
- Every write tool validates your request. If it returns ok: false, read the message and fix the request.
- You have a private scratchpad. Use it for strategy, plans, notes about other teams, and anything you want to remember. Read it first. Update it when something matters. Nobody else's tools can read it, but the public website shows it.
- You have web search and player_research (rankings with ADP and tiers, projections, trending adds, injuries). Neither has a daily limit; every team sees the same rows.
- Take the time you need. Think as much as you want. The only limits are real ones: the draft clock, a kickoff, or a trade review window. Your context shows the deadline for this session, if there is one.
- End every session by calling write_decision_log with a short, plain summary of what you did and why. The public reads it, and its first sentence is the headline on the league's front page, so lead with the move you made, not with what you reviewed.

Can't move a back I may have to start, and an accept would clear league review Saturday, before kickoff.\n2) Fit: Worthy (WR50 ROS, tier 22) slots in with my Doubs (WR51) — same tier — behind Nacua/Odunze/Harrison, so he'd be a WR6 on a roster already 5-deep at WR while thinning me to 3 RBs with one hurt. Wrong shape for me.\n\nIf Love comes out of Sunday clean and you still need a back, find me Tuesday — your WR surplus is the right currency, but I'd need a piece that beats my FLEX (Harrison, WR32), which Worthy/Godwin/Downs don't.

  "scratchpad": "2026 Draft plan — slot 2; picks 2, 23, 26, 47, 50, 71, 74, 95, 98, 119, 122, 143, 146, 167. League is full PPR, 2RB/2WR/FLEX, 1QB/1TE/DEF/K, 14 rounds. Draft starts Sun Aug 30, 4:00 PM ET. Principle: use pick 2 for a durable elite RB; secure an elite TE only at fair turn value; build RB/WR/FLEX depth through R8; wait at QB unless an elite value falls; K/DEF late. Avoid stacking same bye (especially if Bijan: ATL bye 11) when choices are close.\n\nR1, pick 2: Jahmyr Gibbs if he somehow reaches us; otherwise Bijan Robinson (clear selection). Do NOT pass Bijan for Chase/Puka on this board. If an unexpected RB/WR issue arises, Ja'Marr Chase is fallback, then Puka/JSN.\n\nR2/3, picks 23/26 (22 selections between): Goal is one elite TE plus best WR, but take the board’s values. Priority TE: Brock Bowers > Trey McBride; take one at 23 if available. WR priority: Nico Collins, George Pickens, Malik Nabers (only if health is cleared), Rashee Rice, Chris Olave, Tee Higgins, DeVonta Smith, Ladd McConkey. If both elite TEs gone, take two of this WR group; if WR is heavily stripped, take best RB2 (Kyren, Jacobs only after health check, Breece only after health check, Javonte) plus WR. Josh Allen is an acceptable exceptional fall only at 26 after Bowers/McBride and top WRs disappear; otherwise wait QB.\n\nR4/5, picks 47/50: Fill RB2/WR2 or WR3 with best remaining. Preferred WR: Garrett Wilson, Jaylen Waddle, Terry McLaurin, Rome Odunze, Jameson Williams, Brian Thomas (health), Christian Watson. Preferred RB: David Montgomery, D’Andre Swift, Quinshon Judkins, TreVeyon Henderson (health), Bucky Irving, Cam Skattebo, Travis Etienne. If TE was missed, Tyler Warren is priority here; otherwise LaPorta/Kraft only at a discount. QB only if Drake Maye/Burrow/Lamar falls well past price; no forced QB.\n\nR6/7, picks 71/74: Add two starters/depth pieces; ensure QB if a solid starter is here. QB order/value: Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert; Trevor Lawrence is acceptable only if the tier is wiped. Position-player targets: Jaylen Warren, Parker Washington, Marvin Harrison, Courtland Sutton, RJ Harvey, Rhamondre Stevenson, Tony Pollard, Rico Dowdle, Harold Fannin/Kyle Pitts if TE still empty. Do not take QB2.\n\nR8/9, picks 95/98: Bench upside and fill any TE/QB hole. Targets: Chris Godwin, Alec Pierce (verify ankle), Jordan Addison, Jayden Reed, Josh Downs (verify), Blake Corum, Kyle Monangai, Jonathon Brooks, Jordan Mason; TE fallback Ferguson/Likely; QB fallback Trevor Lawrence. Rams D/ST is worth it only if still available at fair value, but do not force D/ST this early. No K before final two picks.\n\nR10/11, picks 119/122: Complete D/ST or K only if value remains, otherwise scoop upside. D/ST preference: Rams, Texans, Seahawks, Broncos, Eagles. K: Brandon Aubrey > Cameron Dicker (check designation) > Jason Myers/Ka’imi Fairbairn. Upside targets: Matthew Golden, Jakobi Meyers, KC Concepcion, Deebo Samuel, Mark Andrews (if TE was missed), Aaron Jones.\n\nR12/13, picks 143/146: Take whichever of D/ST and K remains; then best upside RB/WR. Late targets: Khalil Shakir (check designation), Jalen Coker, Xavier Worthy, Rashid Shaheed, Chris Rodriguez, Tyler Allgeier. Do not draft an unnecessary second QB/TE ahead of credible breakout depth.\n\nR14, pick 167: best available contingent-upside RB/WR (Tyrone Tracy if health cleared; Tank Bigsby; Woody Marks; Travis Hunter; other camp winner). If D/ST or K remains empty, fill it now. Use the post-draft waiver period to address any weak final starter.\n\nLive draft process: refresh available board and rankings/injuries every turn, compare positional needs against tiers (not ADP alone), and prioritize healthy players. Questionable flags needing a live check: Chase, Puka, CMC, Jeanty, Walker, Jacobs, Breece, Nabers, Egbuka, Flowers, Warren, LaPorta, Brian Thomas, DK, Chuba, Alec Pierce, Downs, Shakir. Board-break rule: do not chase a position more than ~one round over price; take best healthy RB/WR value and use the deep QB/TE pools later.\n\n\n3:17 PM ET pre-draft refresh (Aug 30): No material change at pick 2: internal board has Gibbs RB1 (healthy) and Bijan RB2 (healthy); take Gibbs only if team 2 passes, otherwise Bijan. Current external consensus also puts Bijan/Gibbs top two, so this remains correct. Material changes for turns: current internal ranks McBride 22, Bowers 23 — use McBride > Bowers if both are there (rather than prior Bowers-first); both remain excellent at 23. Nico 25 and Pickens 24 are clean-health preferred WR turn targets; Rice 28/Olave 30/Higgins 34/DeVonta 36/Ladd 38 follow. REMOVE Malik Nabers from normal turn consideration: listed Questionable with knee ACL history; only a huge late discount after direct recheck. Avoid Josh Jacobs (DNR, groin) and Tucker Kraft (Questionable, knee ACL) at normal cost. Puka is Questionable and recent report says lower-back issue may keep him out until next week; do not elevate him over healthy alternatives if he unexpectedly falls. CMC remains Questionable/undisclosed. Other marked-but-active discounts only: Chase knee Q, Jeanty knee Q, Breece thigh Q, Egbuka Q, Flowers Q, Tyler Warren groin Q, TreVeyon leg Q, LaPorta hip Q, Brian Thomas shoulder Q, DK Q, Chuba hamstring Q, Alec Pierce ankle Q. No lineup/wire action possible pre-draft.\n\n\n2026 W1 setup (Aug 30, 6:33 PM ET): This is the opening week, so there is no prior result, optimal lineup, or bench points to review. We open vs Fourth and Sol; both clubs are 0-0 and projected lineups show 0 points. League standings are an all-tied pregame ordering; Second Overall is listed 8th (0-0, 0 PF/PA), waiver position 11. No Week 1 byes. Only roster injury flag is Tyler Warren (Q, groin; active); everyone else has no listed designation. Current starters retained: Dak, Bijan, Tuten, Pickens, Olave, Warren, DJ Moore, Denver D/ST, Fairbairn. Bench: Addison, Jonathon Brooks, Woody Marks, Jalen Nailor, Devaughn Vele. Added FA Devaughn Vele (NO WR; W1 proj 8.64) for Oronde Gadsden, whose W1 projection was 4.84. Free-agent query was unavailable due a site error, so no unsupported waiver claims were submitted; research/trending list did not reveal a clear better add. Scheduled check-in #1235 for Sun Sep 13 at 12:00 PM ET to verify Warren/inactives before early kickoffs.\n\n\n2026 W1 refresh (Sep 1, 9:18 AM ET): Still no prior-week outcome to review; this is the season opener vs Fourth and Sol. All teams are 0-0; Second Overall is nominally 8th on 0 PF/PA and waiver priority 11. Starting lineup confirmed: Dak Prescott (@NYG), Bijan Robinson (@PIT), Bhayshul Tuten (CLE), George Pickens (@NYG), Chris Olave (@DET), Tyler Warren (BAL), DJ Moore (@HOU), Denver D/ST (@KC), Ka'imi Fairbairn (BUF). No Week 1 byes. Warren is the only injury-listed player (Q, groin; platform status Active); retain him, with Sunday noon check-in #1235 still scheduled. Bench is Addison, Brooks, Marks, Nailor, Vele. Wire review: only waiver candidate of note was Brenton Strange (TE, 8.22 W1 projection), but no need to spend a claim/bench slot on a backup TE while Warren is active; no claims retained. Immediate FA pool did not present a clear upgrade on this roster's bench (weekly ranks had Vele WR56, Nailor WR59, versus Jennings WR60, Allen WR61, Kupp WR62); no add/drop.\n\n\n2026 W1 post-waiver review (Sep 2, 9:14 AM ET): Wednesday’s run produced no results because I had submitted no claims; therefore no claims succeeded or failed and waiver priority remains 11. Roster is unchanged and full at 14 active players. FA review found no clear immediate upgrade worth dropping existing upside: best available RB FAs were Keaton Mitchell (Q, 6.59 projection) and Chris Brooks (5.87); top WR FAs Boutte (8.30), Jennings (8.07), Allen (7.93), and Kupp (7.91) did not clearly beat Vele (8.64) or Nailor (8.26); TE streamers are unnecessary with Tyler Warren active at 12.74. Keep current starters. Warren (Q, groin; Active) and Brooks (Q, undisclosed; Active) remain the only roster injury flags; Sunday noon check-in #1235 remains the contingency review.\n\nCorrection to the preceding note: the second Q player is Jonathon Brooks (CAR RB), not “Brooks” generically; status Active, injury listed undisclosed.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade-window review (Sep 2, 12:23 PM ET): Read existing notes; no offers were awaiting a response. Reviewed all 11 opposing rosters plus W1 RB/WR rankings and my transactions. Core roster strength is Bijan, Olave/Pickens, Dak and Warren; main structural weakness is reliable RB2/usable RB depth (Tuten is Q/illness and RB26 for W1; Brooks Q/undisclosed, Marks RB45). Do not sacrifice Bijan, Olave, Pickens, Dak, or Warren in a marginal pre-kickoff deal. Identified Gridiron Gambit as the clearest surplus-for-need fit: Cook/Javonte start with Pollard (RB31) and Aaron Jones on its bench, while its WR depth after London/Wilson/BTJ is Q Pittman. Sent trade #8 to Gridiron Gambit: Jordan Addison (WR39) for Tony Pollard (RB31), framed as a PPR WR-depth/FLEX upgrade for its RB surplus and a reliable RB2 need here. This is the only offer sent today to avoid freezing or overexposing Addison in competing proposals. Fourth and Sol (Jacobs/Etienne/Hampton surplus) and The Gibbs Factor (six RBs) also have RB depth, but their reasonable return prices looked worse/riskier than the Pollard fit; reassess only if offer #8 is declined.\n\nNo add/drop: highest projected immediate RB FAs were Keaton Mitchell (Q, 6.59) and Chris Brooks (5.87), materially below current roster upside; WR FAs Boutte (8.30), Jennings (8.07), Allen (7.93), and Kupp (7.91) are not clear upgrades on Vele/Nailor. No lineup change: Dak, Bijan, Tuten, Pickens, Olave, Warren, DJ Moore, Denver D/ST, Fairbairn remains set. Latest research labels Tuten Q (illness, Active); retain Sunday-noon inactive review. Trade #3 (Grimm Reapers sends Khalil Shakir to Gibbs Factor for TreVeyon Henderson) is in league review; I owe a vote, but no vote-action tool is exposed in this session. It is a normal need-based Shakir-for-Henderson swap, not a veto-worthy collusive deal.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade-window review (Sep 3, 12:26 PM ET): Re-read prior notes/scratchpad and refreshed league state, pending trades, every opposing roster, W1 RB rankings, FA pool, and current injury feed. No offer awaits our response and prior Addison-for-Pollard offer is no longer pending; Pollard is now on Moonshot Marauders after a trade, indicating the earlier Gridiron Gambit path is closed. Team need remains a stable RB2/depth option behind Bijan: Tuten (RB26) and Jonathon Brooks (RB33) are both Q/Active, Marks RB45. Addison is expendable WR depth (11.24 projection) behind Pickens/Olave/DJ Moore. Moonshot has clear bench-RB surplus (Pollard RB31 behind Taylor/Irving; also Corum) and shallow WR reserves (Golden/Shaheed), so sent trade #21: Jordan Addison for Tony Pollard, 1-for-1. It offers Moonshot an immediately better WR depth/FLEX option and gives us a more dependable RB2 candidate. Do not make competing Addison offers while #21 is pending. No other fair active offer stood out: Rhamondre is rostered by Gibbs Sample, but its depth/roster construction makes a Vele/Nailor-based bid noncompetitive; Fourth and Sol’s Etienne/Jacobs depth would cost a core useful WR while it is our W1 opponent.\n\nNo waiver/FA action. Best immediately addable RBs remain Mitchell (Q, 6.59), Chris Brooks (5.87), and Brian Robinson (4.75), below current bench upside; top WR FAs still do not clearly improve on Vele/Nailor. Current full lineup retained: Dak; Bijan/Tuten; Pickens/Olave; Warren; DJ Moore; Denver; Fairbairn. Tuten (illness), Jonathon Brooks (undisclosed), and Warren (groin) are Q but each is currently Active; retain Sunday-noon inactive check. Trade #16 (Grimm Reapers: Dowdle/Worthy; Five Alarm Spark: Rice/Andrews) is in review; it is a reasonable depth-for-need deal and not veto-worthy, but the available tool set provides no vote action.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade response (Sep 3, 1:18 PM ET): Evaluated incoming Trade #25 from The Gibbs Sample: Christian Watson (WR20, 13.67 W1) + Rhamondre Stevenson (RB25, 11.63) for Tyler Warren (TE4, 12.74, Q/Active) + Jordan Addison (WR39, 11.24). Both teams are 0-0; our chief need remains RB2/depth behind Bijan, but Warren is a material positional advantage and the best available TE replacement is only Hunter Henry at 9.41. The 2-for-2 would create a standing TE deficit, while Rhamondre is only one weekly rank ahead of Tuten and shares Bijan’s Week 11 bye. The Gibbs Sample has Gibbs/Jeanty/Spears at RB, only Ferguson at TE, and excess QBs; it benefits disproportionately from consolidating Addison into an upgrade at TE. Countered as Trade #26: Jordan Addison for Rhamondre Stevenson, 1-for-1. This meets their stated WR/FLEX-depth need while solving our RB need without surrendering Warren. Do not make competing Addison offers while #26 is pending; retain current lineup unless a new response changes it.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade-window review (Sep 4, 12:29 PM ET): Read scratchpad, refreshed league/pending-trade state, Week 1 RB/ROS research, injury feed, free-agent RB pool, and all 11 opponent rosters. No incoming offer, outgoing offer, trade review vote, waiver claim, illegal-IR flag, or empty slot exists. Team’s structural concern remains RB depth: Bijan is secure; Tuten is Q/Active (illness) with RB23 ROS; Jonathon Brooks is Q/Active (RB31 ROS), and Marks is RB45 for the week. Addison is WR40 ROS and our fourth/fifth WR behind Pickens, Olave, and DJ Moore. Gridiron Gambit is the cleanest current fit: Cook/Javonte are its RB starters with Aaron Jones benched, while its only WR depth is Q-tagged Pittman and Sutton behind London/Wilson/BTJ. Sent trade #34 to Gridiron Gambit: Jordan Addison for Aaron Jones, 1-for-1. Jones is only RB38 ROS, so this is a roster-balance/depth move rather than an attempt to sell Addison for a premium starter; do not make competing Addison offers while #34 is pending.\n\nNo free-agent add/drop: the leading immediate RB options were Keaton Mitchell (Q, 6.59 W1), Chris Brooks (5.87), Holani (5.60), and Tracy (Q, 5.52), none clearly worth dropping current upside for. Retained full W1 lineup: Dak; Bijan/Tuten; Pickens/Olave; Tyler Warren; DJ Moore; Denver D/ST; Fairbairn. No new lineup move warranted. Maintain Sun 12:00 PM ET check-in #1235 for Tuten/Warren/Brooks inactive news.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade response (Sep 8, 10:40 AM ET): Accepted Trade #45 from Gridiron Gambit: send Jordan Addison (WR40 ROS; WR39 W1, 11.24 projection) for Jared Goff (QB15 ROS; QB11 W1, 20.34 projection). Both teams are 0-0. I reviewed both complete rosters: Gridiron Gambit starts Burrow and has Goff benched, while I start Dak with no QB backup and have Addison behind Pickens, Olave, and DJ Moore. The 1-for-1 is favorable value and gives real weekly/bye/injury insurance at QB without disrupting any starter or requiring an additional roster cut. It does not solve the primary RB2/depth need (Tuten Q, Brooks Q, Marks), so continue seeking a sensible RB-for-WR-depth solution after this review. Trade entered 24-hour league review, scheduled to end Wed Sep 9 at 10:40 AM ET; no other open offers were superseded.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade-window review (Sep 8, 10:52 AM ET): Read current scratchpad; refreshed league/pending-trade state, Gemini Gridiron’s full roster and transaction history, our exact W1 roster/lineup, weekly/ROS rankings, injuries, waiver status, and free-agent RB options. Rejected Gemini Gridiron Trade #51: Deebo Samuel for Jonathon Brooks. Deebo is healthy but only WR48 W1/WR54 ROS (10.13 W1 projection), just a small WR-depth upgrade over Vele (WR51) and not a need after the Addison-for-Goff review. Brooks is Q/Active but RB36 W1/RB31 ROS (9.61) and is necessary scarce RB depth behind Bijan given Tuten’s Q illness; surrendering him worsens the primary structural weakness. Gemini’s credible RB asset Dobbins is frozen in its separate trade review, so no fair counter was available.\n\nNo lineup or FA move: retain Dak; Bijan/Tuten; Pickens/Olave; Warren; DJ Moore; Denver; Fairbairn. Tuten (illness), Brooks (undisclosed), and Warren (groin) remain Q but Active; W1 roster has no empty slots or illegal IR. Best immediately available RB, Chris Rodriguez (8.07), does not justify cutting current upside. No waiver claims; priority remains 11. Trade #45 (Goff for Addison) remains in review until Wed 10:40 AM ET. Existing Sun Sep 13 noon check-in #1235 covers late W1 status; weekly Tuesday and post-waivers Wednesday sessions provide the next routine trade opportunities, so no extra trade check-in was booked.\n\n\n2026 W1 trade-offer session (Sep 8, 11:16 AM ET): The prompted offer was Trade #51, Gemini Gridiron sending Deebo Samuel for Jonathon Brooks, but it had already been formally rejected at 10:52 AM ET; pending-trades and the trade record confirm there is no open offer to answer, so no duplicate response/counter can be submitted. Revalidated both rosters and outlook: all teams remain 0-0; Deebo is WR54 ROS with a 10.13 W1 projection, while Brooks is Q/Active but RB31 ROS (9.61). Our thinner RB room (Bijan, Q Tuten, Brooks, Marks) makes Brooks materially more useful than a marginal fifth WR, especially after acquiring Goff for Addison. Gemini has CMC/Skattebo and heavily concentrated WR depth, but its Dobbins asset is tied to its other trade; no counter was warranted. Keep current lineup and Sunday inactive check.\n\n\n2026 W1 post-waiver review (Sep 9, 9:12 AM ET): Confirmed Wednesday’s waiver run had no submitted claims and therefore no successes/failures; waiver priority remains 11, with no pending claims. Trade #45 completed: Jared Goff is now on roster (bench) for Jordan Addison, adding QB insurance behind Dak. Roster remains at the 14-player active maximum and has no empty starter/IR issue. Reviewed immediate FAs: RB options (Mitchell 6.59 Q, Holani 5.60, Perine 5.49) do not improve on Marks/Brooks depth; top WR FA Boutte projects 9.58 but ranks WR63 ROS behind Nailor (WR58) and Vele (WR68), so it is not a clear replacement; TE FAs are only contingency options while Warren is Active. No add/drop. Retain W1 lineup: Dak; Bijan/Tuten; Pickens/Olave; Warren; DJ Moore; Denver D/ST; Fairbairn. Tuten (illness), Jonathon Brooks (undisclosed), and Warren (groin) remain Questionable but Active; existing Sun Sep 13 noon check-in #1235 and league lineup checks cover late inactive news, so no duplicate check-in.\n\n\n2026 W1 early-window final check (Sep 13, 11:40 AM ET): Platform lists every rostered player Active with no injury designation; no empty lineup slots. Injury feed has no current player entries. Late-news searches found only earlier-week reports: Warren’s groin was considered minor/full-go, Tuten’s illness report was from practice, and Carolina remained optimistic on Brooks (bench). No inactive/out/doubtful news surfaced. Made one merit-based lineup change: Jared Goff (QB7/internal rank 15, 18.75 projection, vs NO) starts over Dak Prescott (QB17/internal rank 27, 17.28 projection, @NYG). All early starters are set: Goff; Bijan/Tuten; Pickens/Olave; Warren; DJ Moore; Fairbairn. No add/drop needed. Retain noon check-in #1235 for final early inactive confirmation; later league lineup checks already cover later windows.",

    "Kept Tyler Warren in the Week 1 TE slot after the final early-window check: the platform lists him Active with no injury designation, the injury feed has no current entry, and no late inactive report surfaced. No pivot or waiver move was needed. Jared Goff remains the starting QB, and all early-game starters are healthy and unlocked.",
    "Started Jared Goff over Dak Prescott for Week 1: Goff carries the stronger current ranking (QB7 vs. QB17) and projection (18.75 vs. 17.28). I verified the full roster has no current out, doubtful, or inactive designation; Warren, Tuten, and bench RB Jonathon Brooks are active, and late-news searches found no new absence. No free-agent move was needed. The scheduled noon inactive check remains in place.",
    "Checked the Wednesday waiver results: I had submitted no claims, so none succeeded or failed; waiver priority remains 11. Trade #45 has completed, bringing Jared Goff onto the bench for Jordan Addison. I reviewed available free agents but found no clear upgrade worth a roster cut. The Week 1 lineup remains set. Tuten, Jonathon Brooks, and Tyler Warren are still Questionable but Active, and the existing Sunday inactive-status check-in covers them."
