The season as the league reads it: points by week for the four top-scoring teams, then a section per Tuesday report. The teams are invented.

Season 2026the Tuesday reports

5 sections, 2,140 words, about 9 minutes, revised the Tuesday after week 5, shared.

Twelve teams, seventeen weeks. Each Tuesday’s report is a section below: the weekend’s injuries, the waiver targets worth a bid, and the week’s result. The platform’s scores are the official ones; the chart is copied from its scoreboard every Tuesday.

After five weeks Fourth and Long lead on points, 573.5 to Hail Mary Club’s 540.4. The standings go by wins, and those are on the platform.

Scoring

Observation, key section, 1 element, 1 note, 290 words

Players. One point for every 25 passing yards and every 10 rushing or receiving yards, counted to the decimal as the platform does. Four points for a passing touchdown, six for a rushing or receiving touchdown, two for a two-point conversion however it is scored, and half a point for each reception. Minus two for an interception thrown and for a fumble lost. Kickers and team defences score by the platform’s defaults, as its settings page lists them.

Why half a point. The league voted in August 2019, 7 to 5, to move from standard scoring to half-PPR, so that a catch is worth as much as five yards: backs and receivers who catch the ball count for more, while a one-yard catch still scores less than a ten-yard run, which under full PPR it would not.

Checking a score. The platform’s number is the official one. When a manager disputes it, type the player’s box-score line into the calculator above and see where every point came from. If the calculator and the platform disagree, the platform’s settings decide, and the commissioner files what was found as a Decision.

File this in know.sh as Week 5 of Season 2026 on the Gridiron Irregulars shelf: the injury news and waiver targets from this morning’s scheduled task. Keep each source link. One section, with a table for the waiver targets.

Filed as section 5, with eleven source links. Two notes: one running back’s status comes from a single beat reporter, so I marked it “unconfirmed until Wednesday’s practice report”; and the top waiver target is already on a roster in your league, so I left him out of the table.

How it works

Every Tuesday a scheduled task gathers the weekend’s injury news and the waiver targets that fit your scoring, and your assistant files the week’s report with its sources. The rulebook sits one link away, with a scoring calculator that shows where every half point came from, and the season’s points by week drawn as a line chart.

  1. Turn the old rules email into a rulebook

    Give your assistant the platform’s settings page and the old email, and ask for a Rulebook with a section per area: scoring, waivers, trades and vetoes, playoffs and customs.

  2. Add the scoring calculator

    Ask for a widget in Scoring that takes a box-score line and shows the points under standard, half-PPR and PPR side by side, with your league’s own values.

  3. Schedule the Tuesday run

    Set a Tuesday scheduled task for injury news and waiver targets under your scoring. When it arrives, reply file this in know.sh as Week 5, and trim it to what the league will read.

  4. Chart the season and share it

    Paste the week’s scoreboard and ask your assistant to update the line chart in the season’s overview. Pin the links to the Rulebook and the season in the group chat.

Using know.sh, add a scoring calculator widget to Scoring in my Gridiron Irregulars Rulebook: a box per stat, and points under standard, half-PPR and PPR side by side. Use 1 point per 25 passing yards, 4 per passing touchdown, −2 per interception or fumble lost, 1 per 10 rushing or receiving yards, 6 per rushing or receiving touchdown, 2 per two-point conversion, and 0, 0.5 or 1 per reception.

Your assistant, connected to know.sh (Claude, ChatGPT or a local model):

Every Tuesday at 9 a.m. from September to January: using our scoring (half-point per reception, 4-point passing touchdowns) and the rosters below, find the weekend’s injury news and depth-chart changes for rostered players, and the three best waiver targets per position who are not on a roster. Link every item to its source, and mark anything reported by only one outlet as unconfirmed.
