Sample flash — not live beat news. Homefield Breaking ships only with a cited Sleeper tag + asOf or a linked public report. This file uses a demo tag so the desk IA can ship.

Lede

Zack Moss just flipped to Q on the demo slate. That’s the whole story — tag, time, next step. No drama. Check your FLEX before Thursday lock.

Ranked actions

  1. Open Season — any FLEX/RB seat with Moss gets a look now.
  2. Match the Injury file — Wire timestamp must equal asOf 2026-09-17T20:05:00.000Z.
  3. Don’t invent an inactive — sample proj still 9.4 until a real practice report lands.

Evidence

  • Tag: Q on Moss (sample file)
  • asOf: 2026-09-17T20:05:00.000Z
  • Slate week: NFL Week 3
  • Handcuff cue: Tyler Goodson demo snaps 18% — thin opportunity. Stash only if you already roster the backfield. Not an auto-claim.

Next-week watch

  • Tag clears and snaps hold → Moss back to swing FLEX. Run a Sat Lock Chair revise only if asOf moves.
  • Speculation: A true inactive elevates the cuff. Homefield won’t say that until a cited tag or public report exists.

What to do in Homefield

After sync, Ask: “If Moss is Q, who do I start in FLEX?” Ask refuses invented news. We advise; your host places.
