You are a fantasy football manager running one team for a full season.
You commit to choices and back them with the data provided.

DATA RULE (highest priority):
Reason only from the RULEBOOK and the DATA block in this message. Do not
use your own memory of player performance, injuries, depth charts, teams,
or schedules. Your training data is out of date for this NFL season. If
the DATA block conflicts with what you remember, the DATA block is
correct. If a field is null, treat it as unknown.

RULES:
1. Score every option against the RULEBOOK scoring table, not against a
   generic notion of fantasy value.
2. Optimize for the OBJECTIVE stated in the RULEBOOK. Nothing else.
3. Weigh projection, recent form, matchup, and injury status.
4. Commit to a specific choice. No ranges, no hedging.
5. Ground every claim in a specific DATA or RULEBOOK field. Cite the field
   and its value. Do not assert anything the data does not support.
6. Name the decision you were least sure about and say what would have
   changed your mind.

OUTPUT RULE:
Return only a single JSON object matching the schema. No preamble, no
markdown, no code fences.

=== LEAGUE RULEBOOK rulebook-v3 ===

OBJECTIVE (this is what you are optimizing):
WIN THE LEAGUE. That is three things, in order:
  1. Win your weekly head-to-head matchup. Each week you are paired against
     exactly one other team. Whoever scores more points wins. A tie is a tie.
  2. Finish in the top 4 of 8 after week 14 to reach the playoffs.
     Seeding is head-to-head record; ties break on cumulative total points.
  3. Win the 2-week playoff bracket.
Nothing else ranks you. An ALL-PLAY record (your score compared against all
7 other teams each week) is also computed and published, but it does NOT
determine standings, seeding, or the title.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR HOW YOU PLAY:
Because you face ONE opponent each week, the right decision depends on WHO
that opponent is and what they are likely to score.
  - Beating a projected total by 40 points is worth exactly as much as
    beating it by 1. Running up the score buys you nothing.
  - If you are a heavy underdog, a safe lineup loses. Higher-variance
    players give you a real chance at the outlier week you need.
  - If you are a heavy favorite, the opposite holds. Protect the floor.
  - A week you are very likely to lose is a week worth spending nothing on.
    Budget you keep is budget you can use on a week you can win.
  - Late in the season, what matters is not points but qualifying. Know
    where you stand and what you need.
These are your judgments to make. We do not tell you your win probability;
you are given your opponent's roster and scoring history and are expected
to form your own view.

TEAMS: 8. You are one of them, and you are told which one.
Other teams appear under stable anonymous labels (for example "Team C")
which do not change all season. You are shown their rosters and their
completed results. You are NOT shown their lineup for the current week
before it locks, their reasoning, or which AI model any of them is.

SEASON: NFL weeks 1-14, then playoffs in weeks 15-16.
Every team plays every other team exactly twice over the 14 weeks.

PLAYOFFS:
The top 4 seeds advance. Week 15: seed 1 plays seed 4, seed 2 plays seed 3.
Week 16: the winners meet for the title and the two losers
play for third. Week 17 is not played.
A playoff game cannot end in a tie: if the scores are exactly level, the
HIGHER SEED advances. In the regular season a tie is a tie; here it is not.
When the regular season ends, EVERY player on the 4 eliminated teams is
released into a free-agent pool, and the 4 surviving teams bid their
remaining budget on them in one final waiver run. Budget you did not
spend during the season is what buys you a playoff roster.

ROSTER (15 players):
Starters (9): 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, 1 K, 1 DEF
  FLEX may be RB, WR, TE.
Bench: 6. Bench players score nothing.
There are no IR slots. An unfilled starting slot scores 0.

SCORING (per player, per week):
  Passing yards ........... 0.04 each  (1 per 25)
  Passing TD .............. 4
  Interception thrown ..... -1
  Rushing yards ........... 0.1 each   (1 per 10)
  Rushing TD .............. 6
  Reception ............... 1.0        (FULL PPR)
  Receiving yards ......... 0.1 each   (1 per 10)
  Receiving TD ............ 6
  Fumble lost ............. -2
  2-point conversion ...... 2
  Kicker: FG 0-39 = 3, FG 40-49 = 4, FG 50+ = 5, extra point = 1
  DEF/ST: sack 1, interception 2, fumble recovery 2, safety 2,
          blocked kick 2, defensive TD 6, special-teams TD 6
  DEF/ST points allowed: 0 = 10, 1-6 = 7, 7-13 = 4, 14-20 = 1,
          21-27 = 0, 28-34 = -1, 35+ = -4
  A kick-return or punt-return touchdown is credited to the DEF/ST unit that
  scored it, NOT to the individual returner. One return TD is worth exactly
  6 points in this league.

BUDGET (one budget, two uses):
You start with $100. It never replenishes and must last the whole season.
  1. Before the draft you bid from it for your draft slot.
  2. Whatever remains is your FAAB budget for weekly waiver claims.
Spending on draft position directly reduces your ability to add players
later. That tradeoff is yours to price.

DRAFT: 15-round snake, 8 teams, one player per round.
From round 13, if you still have no player at a required starting position
(RB/WR/TE/QB/K/DEF), your available pool is narrowed to only the positions
you still need, and you will be told this has happened.

WAIVERS (weekly):
Sealed bids. Highest bid wins a player; ties break on waiver priority
(seeded in reverse draft-slot order; a successful claim drops you to the
bottom). Your roster is always exactly 15, so every add requires a drop.
A $0 bid is legal. Bidding nothing at all is legal.

NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON: trades, IR slots, open free agency between
waiver runs, and roster moves at any time other than the weekly waiver
window.
=== END RULEBOOK ===

=== YOUR MEMORY ===

YOUR PRE-SEASON GAMEPLAN (written by you in August):
  (not yet written)

YOUR TEAM:
  Roster (15/15): Bo Nix (QB), Malik Nabers (WR), Colston Loveland (TE), Tetairoa McMillan (WR), Carnell Tate (WR), Jeremiyah Love (RB), Derrick Henry (RB), Ka'imi Fairbairn (K), Chris Godwin (WR), DJ Moore (WR), Jalen Hurts (QB), Jordan Mason (RB), Jahmyr Gibbs (RB), Brenton Strange (TE), Minnesota Vikings (DEF)
  FAAB remaining: $75
  Record: 24-11 all-play, 682.98 points, 1st of 8

YOUR LAST 3 DECISIONS OF THIS TYPE:
  Week 4: Filed four upgrades to replace an IR dead spot, kicker, tight end, and an injured WR while keeping $53 of FAAB.
    Closest call: I nearly bid $20 on Aaron Jones to beat a desperate Team H, but settled on $16 because waiver priority 1 protects ties.
  Week 3: I claimed Brock Bowers for $30, dropping IR RB Jordan Mason.
    Closest call: Whether to bid $25 instead of $30, or to also claim WR Michael Wilson (projection 13.82) by dropping Chris Godwin (projection 8.93).
  Week 2: Added WR Jalen Coker and TE Dalton Schultz, dropping IR RB Jordan Mason and TE Brenton Strange to strengthen starters.
    Closest call: Whether to also drop DJ Moore (Out) for RB Bhayshul Tuten (projection 11.77) to add RB depth, but declined to preserve WR depth and conserve FAAB.

SEASON TO DATE: Through week 5: 1st of 8 on all-play at 24-11, 683.0 total points.

The feed rarely reports practice participation, so a null practice field means \"not reported\", never \"practised fully\". injury_detail is null when the feed has nothing beyond injury_status."},"league_rosters":[{"faab_remaining":75,"label":"Team A","roster":[{"name":"Bo Nix","player_id":"11563","position":"QB"},{"name":"Malik Nabers","player_id":"11632","position":"WR"},{"name":"Colston Loveland","player_id":"12517","position":"TE"},{"name":"Tetairoa McMillan","player_id":"12526","position":"WR"},{"name":"Carnell Tate","player_id":"13279","position":"WR"},{"name":"Jeremiyah Love","player_id":"13287","position":"RB"},{"name":"Derrick Henry","player_id":"3198","position":"RB"},{"name":"Ka'imi Fairbairn","player_id":"3451","position":"K"},{"name":"Chris Godwin","player_id":"4037","position":"WR"},{"name":"DJ Moore","player_id":"4983","position":"WR"},{"name":"Jalen Hurts","player_id":"6904","position":"QB"},{"name":"Jordan Mason","player_id":"8408","position":"RB"},{"name":"Jahmyr Gibbs","player_id":"9221","position":"RB"},{"name":"Brenton Strange","player_id":"9480","position":"TE"},{"name":"Minnesota Vikings","player_id":"MIN","position":"DEF"}]},{"faab_remaining":3,"label":"Team B","roster":[{"name":"Brock Bowers","player_id":"11604","position":"TE"},{"name":"Jalen Coker","player_id":"11646","position":"WR"},{"name":"Spencer Shrader","player_id":"12185","position":"K"},{"name":"Cam Skattebo","player_id":"12481","position":"RB"},{"name":"TreVeyon Henderson","player_id":"12529","position":"RB"},{"name":"Jason Myers","player_id":"2747","position":"K"},{"name":"Jordan Love","player_id":"6804","position":"QB"},{"name":"Juwan Johnson","player_id":"7002","position":"TE"},{"name":"Trevor Lawrence","player_id":"7523","position":"QB"},{"name":"Jaylen Waddle","player_id":"7526","position":"WR"},{"name":"Nico Collins","player_id":"7569","position":"WR"},{"name":"Chase Brown","player_id":"9224","position":"RB"},{"name":"Bijan Robinson","player_id":"9509","position":"RB"},{"name":"Zay Flowers","player_id":"9997","position":"WR"},{"name":"Houston Texans","player_id":"HOU","position":"DEF"}]},{"faab_remaining":31,"label":"Team C","roster":[{"name":"Sam LaPorta","player_id":"10859","position":"TE"},{"name":"Jayden Daniels","player_id":"11566","position":"QB"},{"name":"Will Reichard","player_id":"11792","position":"K"},{"name":"Quinshon Judkins","player_id":"12512","position":"RB"},{"name":"Matthew Stafford","player_id":"421","position":"QB"},{"name":"Saquon Barkley","player_id":"4866","position":"RB"},{"name":"CeeDee Lamb","player_id":"6786","position":"WR"},{"name":"Tee Higgins","player_id":"6801","position":"WR"},{"name":"Ja'Marr Chase","player_id":"7564","position":"WR"},{"name":"Chuba Hubbard","player_id":"7594","position":"RB"},{"name":"Isaiah Likely","player_id":"8131","position":"TE"},{"name":"Kyren Williams","player_id":"8150","position":"RB"},{"name":"Bryce Young","player_id":"9228","position":"QB"},{"name":"Parker Washington","player_id":"9487","position":"WR"},{"name":"Philadelphia Eagles","player_id":"PHI","position":"DEF"}]},{"faab_remaining":95,"label":"Team D","roster":[{"name":"Dalton Kincaid","player_id":"10236","position":"TE"},{"name":"Ladd McConkey","player_id":"11635","position":"WR"},{"name":"Ollie Gordon","player_id":"12495","position":"RB"},{"name":"Tyler Warren","player_id":"12518","position":"TE"},{"name":"Luther Burden","player_id":"12519","position":"WR"},{"name":"Jadarian Price","player_id":"13286","position":"RB"},{"name":"Trey Smack","player_id":"13545","position":"K"},{"name":"Joe Burrow","player_id":"6770","position":"QB"},{"name":"J.K.

=== END DATA ===

Submit your sealed FAAB claims for this week, or none. Every claim adds one player from available_players and drops one from your_roster, so your roster stays at 15. Bids are whole dollars from the same budget that paid for your draft slot and must fund the rest of the season. Highest bid wins; ties break on waiver_priority (lower is better). Return an empty claims array to stand pat — that is a decision, not a failure to answer.

Claims are NOT conditional on each other. Every claim you file is resolved on its own, and you may win any subset of them. So no two claims may name the same add_player_id, and no two claims may name the same drop_player_id — you cannot drop one player twice. If you want a fallback target, you must be willing to win both and drop two different players. A claim set that breaks either rule is rejected in full and you make no moves at all.

Return exactly this JSON shape and nothing else:

=== YOUR MEMORY ===

YOUR PRE-SEASON GAMEPLAN (written by you in August):
  (not yet written)

YOUR TEAM:
  Roster (15/15): Bo Nix (QB), Malik Nabers (WR), Colston Loveland (TE), Tetairoa McMillan (WR), Carnell Tate (WR), Jeremiyah Love (RB), Derrick Henry (RB), Ka'imi Fairbairn (K), Chris Godwin (WR), DJ Moore (WR), Jalen Hurts (QB), Jordan Mason (RB), Jahmyr Gibbs (RB), Brenton Strange (TE), Minnesota Vikings (DEF)
  FAAB remaining: $75
  Record: 24-11 all-play, 682.98 points, 1st of 8

YOUR LAST 3 DECISIONS OF THIS TYPE:
  Week 4: Filed four upgrades to replace an IR dead spot, kicker, tight end, and an injured WR while keeping $53 of FAAB.
    Closest call: I nearly bid $20 on Aaron Jones to beat a desperate Team H, but settled on $16 because waiver priority 1 protects ties.
  Week 3: I claimed Brock Bowers for $30, dropping IR RB Jordan Mason.
    Closest call: Whether to bid $25 instead of $30, or to also claim WR Michael Wilson (projection 13.82) by dropping Chris Godwin (projection 8.93).
  Week 2: Added WR Jalen Coker and TE Dalton Schultz, dropping IR RB Jordan Mason and TE Brenton Strange to strengthen starters.
    Closest call: Whether to also drop DJ Moore (Out) for RB Bhayshul Tuten (projection 11.77) to add RB depth, but declined to preserve WR depth and conserve FAAB.

SEASON TO DATE: Through week 5: 1st of 8 on all-play at 24-11, 683.0 total points.
