“Locked in Travis Kelce to fill my gaping TE hole at 80.”

Let me think about this pick. I'm at pick 80, round 8, back-to-back with 81. My roster:

QB Dak Prescott (DAL)
RB Jahmyr Gibbs (DET), Javonte Williams (DAL), David Montgomery (HOU)
WR A.J. Brown (NE), Garrett Wilson (NYJ), Tee Higgins (CIN)

Need: TE (none), K, DEF, WR insurance, backup QB, RB4.

My notes say TE is priority. TE-needy teams: Gemini took Kincaid at 66. Grok took DJ Moore (WR) at 67, so Grok still needs TE maybe. Others already have TE1.

Let me check the TE draft situation. Positions drafted by team show TE counts:
- Claude: TE1
- DeepSeek (me): none
- Gemini: TE1
- GLM: TE1
- GPT: TE1
- Grok: no TE listed (WR5 RB2 QB1)
- Kimi: TE1
- Mistral: TE1
- Muse: TE1
- Qwen: TE1

So only Grok and I lack a TE. Grok picks at 87 (after my 80, 81). So I can wait? But my notes say take best TE at 80/81. With back-to-back picks, I could take TE at 80 and then something else at 81, or take two players.

Available TEs:
- Tucker Kraft GB flag: knee - acl surgery (avoid per notes)
- Travis Kelce KC 11.0 wk, 171 season, adp 90
- George Kittle SF flag achilles surgery (avoid)
- Mark Andrews BAL 10.9, 163, adp 126
- Brenton Strange JAX 8.2, 161, adp 162
- Jake Ferguson DAL 9.7, 160, adp 100
- Isaiah Likely NYG 9.6, 157, adp 107
- T.J. Hockenson MIN 8.4, 155, adp 164
- Hunter Henry NE 9.4, 154, adp 143
- Dalton Schultz HOU 8.7? listed 9.3, 151, adp 180
- Chig Okonkwo WAS 9.1, 144, adp 192
- AJ Barner SEA 9.3, 142, adp 187

My notes target list: Kincaid (gone), Andrews, Hockenson, Kelce, Ferguson, Strange, Likely, Hunter Henry. Avoid Kraft/Kittle.

Best available TE by projection: Kelce 171, Kraft 174 (avoid), Kittle 169 (avoid), Andrews 163, Strange 161, Ferguson 160, Likely 157, Hockenson 155, Henry 154, Schultz 151.

Kelce has highest season proj among safe TEs (171), wk_proj 11.0. Andrews 163, wk 10.9. Hmm.

But wait — is TE the right pick at 80, or should I consider WR/RB value? My notes say priority TE because I have none. With Grok (only other TE-needy) picking at 87, if I take TE at 80, Grok takes the next best at 87. But I have back-to-back 80/81, so I control. I could take TE at 80 and best available value (WR insurance or RB4) at 81.

Actually, should I take two TEs? No, only need one starter. Backup TE maybe later or not at all.

Let me think about which TE. Kelce (KC) — older but reliable, high projection. Andrews (BAL) — consistent. Ferguson (DAL) — I already have Dak and Javonte from DAL, plus Montgomery HOU. Stacking Dallas could be a concern (bye week 14 all together, and Dak+Javonte+Ferguson). Actually bye week 14 is playoffs week 14? Wait weeks 1-14 regular season, playoffs 15-17. So bye week 14 is last regular season week. Having 3 DAL players on bye week 14 is bad but it's one week. But also Ferguson tied to Dak gives correlation.

Hmm. Let me think about who's the best TE value. Kelce ADP 90, currently at pick 80 — reasonable. Andrews ADP 126 — value at 80? Actually Andrews is going later in ADP but projections similar. Hmm, but ADP is "average draft position; lower means drafted earlier." Kelce adp 90, Andrews adp 126, Ferguson 100, Likely 107, Hockenson 164.

Wait, that's confusing: Kelce adp 90 but projected higher. Andrews adp 126 meaning he's typically drafted later. So at pick 80, taking Andrews would be "reaching" relative to ADP, but I need a TE.

The available TE rankings by seas_proj: Kelce 171, Andrews 163, Strange 161, Ferguson 160, Likely 157, Hockenson 155, Henry 154, Schultz 151, Okonkwo 144, Barner 142.

Kelce is clearly top. But he's 36? Let me consider. Kelce in KC with Mahomes, but Mahomes has ACL flag? Wait Mahomes listed with "flag: knee - acl, surgery". That's interesting — Mahomes had ACL surgery? That's a weird future scenario (2026 season). Kelce with a QB coming off ACL surgery. Still, Kelce is Kelce.

Actually, let me search news on Kelce and the TE landscape to make an informed decision. Also consider that "avoid Kraft/Kittle (ACL/achilles surgery flags)" — but Kittle's flag is achilles surgery and Kraft knee ACL surgery.

Let me also consider: do I need to reach for TE now, or is there value in taking a different position at 80 and TE at 81? Since I have back-to-back, order doesn't matter much except Grok can't pick in between. So I should take my top TE and top value pick in either order. The question is just who.

Let me check a few things with query_stats and search_news to decide the best TE.

Actually, let me think about strategy more holistically. My roster is strong: Gibbs (RB), A.J. Brown, Garrett Wilson, Tee Higgins, Javonte, Montgomery, Dak. I need a TE, K, DEF, backup QB, WR insurance, RB4.

Available WRs include Marvin Harrison (ARZ, seas_proj 186, adp 77, wk 10.7), Courtland Sutton, Chris Godwin, Jordan Addison, etc. Marvin Harrison at pick 80 seems like a huge value (ADP 77). Hmm, but he's a WR and I already have 3 strong WRs. But FLEX could use a WR. Actually A.J. Brown, Wilson, Higgins as WR1/WR2, and FLEX can be one of my RBs (Javonte/Montgomery) or a 4th WR.

Wait, Marvin Harrison seas_proj 186 with adp 77 still available at pick 80? That's interesting value. But my notes say WR insurance target was Christian Watson (gone at 63), Jayden Reed (gone 71), Brian Thomas (gone 77). So those are gone.

Should I take Marvin Harrison at 80? He's a big value. But I have zero TE. If I take Harrison at 80 and Kelce/Andrews at 81, that's great. But is TE more urgent? With back-to-back, I can take both. The only risk is if I take TE at 80 and Harrison at 81, Grok (87) can't take Harrison anyway if I take him at 81.

Actually the order: pick 80 (me), pick 81 (me), pick 82 (Muse), ... So I get two in a row. I should identify my two top targets and take them in an order that doesn't matter (no one picks between). So I can take Harrison + TE.

But wait, is Marvin Harrison actually good? seas_proj 186, wk_proj 10.7. That's higher than my WRs' projections? A.J. Brown 247, Wilson 225, Higgins 224. Harrison 186 is a solid WR3/4. At pick 80, ADP 77 — he fell. He'd be great WR insurance and flex.

However, my notes explicitly say "Still need: TE (none!), K, DEF, WR insurance, backup QB, RB4" and "TE target list when my turn comes... If top TEs are gone or slipping, still take best TE at 80/81 — don't go into later rounds with zero TE."

So TE is the priority. With back-to-back, I'll take TE + best value (Harrison likely).

Let me decide the TE. Let me search news for Kelce, Andrews, Ferguson to see any red flags.

Actually, let me query stats for these TEs to compare last season's actual numbers (2025) and projections. The query_stats can give weekly fantasy points for a season, season totals, projections. Let me look up the TEs.

Let me do parallel searches: query_stats for TE position, and search news for Kelce/Andrews.

Actually query_stats with name or position. I'll query the specific TE ids or names.

Let me first check the available TE list more carefully via query_stats for position TE to see full list and maybe last season stats.

I'll call query_stats position TE, and search_news for "Travis Kelce Chiefs 2026" and "Mark Andrews Ravens 2026" maybe. But I should be efficient.

Let me think about what matters. Key decision: which TE. Candidates: Kelce vs Andrews vs Ferguson vs Strange vs Likely vs Hockenson.

Projections (season): Kelce 171, Andrews 163, Strange 161, Ferguson 160, Likely 157, Hockenson 155.

Kelce is the highest and has a track record. Age concern (36-37 in 2026). But for a fantasy season, Kelce is still a top option. However, Mahomes' knee ACL surgery flag is concerning — if Mahomes is recovering or the offense struggles, Kelce's numbers could dip. But the projection already accounts for that presumably (171).

Andrews: Lamar Jackson's security blanket, but he's also aging and has competition (Likely moved to NYG per roster, so Andrews is alone in BAL). Wait, Likely is listed as NYG now (team NYG). Interesting — Likely on Giants. So Andrews is the clear TE1 in Baltimore. That's good for Andrews.

Ferguson: DAL, I already have Dak and Javonte. Stacking three Cowboys on same bye week 14. Not ideal. Also Ferguson projection 160.

Strange: JAX, wk_proj 8.2 (low), seas 161. He's a breakout candidate? My notes listed him as target.

Likely: NYG, now the starter presumably. wk_proj 9.6.

Hockenson: MIN, coming off injury? seas 155, adp 164 — value.

Kelce's ADP is 90, so taking him at 80 is fine value-wise. Andrews ADP 126 means he's typically available later, but projections are close.

Given I need a reliable TE, I lean Kelce or Andrews. Let me search news to check health/situation.

Actually, let me reconsider the overall strategy. I have picks 80/81 back to back, then 100/101, 120/121, 140/141. I still need K, DEF, backup QB, RB4, WR insurance, TE.

At 80/81, taking TE + WR (Harrison) makes sense. Then at 100/101, maybe K/DEF or RB4/backup QB. K and DEF can wait to 120/140.

Actually, K and DEF: top K projection 116 (Aubrey), DEF ~106. These are later picks. But some managers might start drafting K/DEF soon. Still, best value is TE + WR now.

Let me verify Marvin Harrison's situation. He's ARZ WR. seas_proj 186. Let me check if there's injury or depth concern. His ADP 77 suggests he should've gone round 7. Available at 80 = value. But why did he fall? Maybe no reason, just draft flow. Let me search.

Alternatively, Courtland Sutton (DEN, 174, adp 80), Chris Godwin (TB, 174, adp 93), Jordan Addison (MIN, 172, adp 101), Josh Downs (IND, 172, adp 113), Michael Pittman (PIT, 171, adp 104), Khalil Shakir (BUF, 171), Wan'Dale Robinson (TEN, 171), Matthew Golden (GB, 170), Makai Lemon (PHI, 169), Jakobi Meyers (JAX, 169), Michael Wilson (ARZ, 166), Jalen Coker (CAR, 166).

Marvin Harrison has the highest projection (186) and lowest ADP (77) — clear best WR available.

So plan: pick 80 = TE (best), pick 81 = Marvin Harrison (WR). Or vice versa. Since no one picks between, order irrelevant. But I should still make "exactly one pick" this turn, then the next turn is separate. I'll take TE now (my stated priority) and Harrison next.

Wait — but should I double-check whether to take TE first? If I take TE at 80, and then at 81 I'm asked again, I'll take Harrison. There's no risk of Harrison being taken since I pick immediately after myself. So TE first is safe.

Now which TE? Let me do some research.

Let me call query_stats for TEs and search news for Kelce and Andrews.

Actually, I realize I should be careful: the projections given are for the upcoming 2026 season. Last season (2025) game logs might be informative. Let me query stats for these TEs.

Let me make parallel calls:
1. query_stats position TE season 2025 (or just position TE to see top 12 by projection? The description says returns at most 12 players, filter by position).
2. search_news "Travis Kelce 2026 Chiefs tight end"
3. search_news "Mark Andrews 2026 Ravens tight end"

Actually query_stats without season defaults to last season 2025 game logs. Let me use it to get TE season totals for 2025.

Let me do these in parallel.

Let me digest.

Query stats returned top TEs by projection: McBride (drafted presumably), Bowers, Loveland, Warren, LaPorta, Fannin, Kraft, Pitts, Kincaid (drafted by Gemini), Gadsden, Kittle, Kelce.

So among available TEs, the notable ones with last season 2025 totals:
- Kraft: 117.2 in 8 games (but knee ACL surgery flag, avoid)
- Pitts: 199 in 16 games (ATL) — wait, Pitts is available? He wasn't in my available list! The available list in briefing didn't include Pitts. But query_stats shows Kyle Pitts (ATL) with 199 points in 2025 and projection 171.6, adp 67.3. Hmm, was Pitts drafted already? The draft so far doesn't list Pitts. Wait, the "available players" list in briefing is "top by projection; there are more." It listed TE: Kraft, Kelce, Kittle, Andrews, Strange, Ferguson, Likely, Hockenson, Henry, Schultz, Okonkwo, Barner. It did NOT list Pitts. But query_stats position TE returned Pitts with adp 67.3, projection 171.6, no injury.

Wait, that's odd. Pitts isn't in the available list. Maybe Pitts was drafted already? Let me check the draft so far. Draft so far "gone since last pick" list is 62-79. I need to check earlier picks too — actually the "gone since your last pick" only shows 62-79. Earlier picks (1-61) I don't have the full list, but my notes say I picked Gibbs, A.J. Brown, Wilson, Higgins, Dak, Javonte, Montgomery. Pitts could have been drafted earlier. The available list only shows players not drafted, so if Pitts isn't there, he's drafted.

Actually wait, the query_stats result for TE returns top 12 by... probably projection or relevance. It includes Pitts, Kincaid (drafted), etc. The fact Pitts appears doesn't mean he's available. The briefing's available list is authoritative for availability. Pitts is NOT in the available list, so he's likely already drafted. Good.

Similarly, the available list is what I should use for availability. Among available TEs:
- Kraft (flag knee ACL surgery) — avoid
- Kelce (no injury flag, 36yo)
- Kittle (flag achilles surgery) — avoid
- Andrews (no flag)
- Strange (no flag)
- Ferguson (no flag)
- Likely (no flag)
- Hockenson (no flag)
- Henry (no flag)
- Schultz (no flag)
- Okonkwo
- Barner

So the safe top options: Kelce (171.4 proj, 189 pts in 2025), Andrews (163 proj... wait briefing says Andrews seas_proj 163, but query stats? Andrews didn't appear in query top 12 because I limited to 12 and sorted differently. Actually Andrews seas_proj in briefing = 163).

Kelce: 2025 season 189 points (16 games), 102 targets, 73 rec, 839 yd, 5 TD. Age 36. Projection 171.4. Mahomes coming off ACL. Kelce "under the weather" but no injury designation.

Now update notes and finish turn.

Notes should reflect: roster now 8/15 with Kelce. Next pick 81 = plan Marvin Harrison (WR) if available. Then 100/101 etc.

Let me write concise notes.

Roster now: QB Dak; RB Gibbs, Javonte, Montgomery; WR A.J. Brown, Wilson, Higgins; TE Kelce.

Remaining needs: K, DEF, backup QB, WR insurance, RB4.

Next pick 81: Marvin Harrison (ARZ WR, 186 proj, adp 77) if still there — big value. Fallback WR: Sutton, Godwin, Addison, Downs, Pittman.

TE done.

Then 100/101: best available (RB4 depth, backup QB, WR, K/DEF later). K/DEF can wait to 120/140.

Let me write notes.

Now finish_turn with memo and public summary.
