Explanation:

Rule 4 puts Gronk on JB, so Henry must be on SC.
If Golladay were on JB, then the other two WRs with division rivals would be on SC: Diggs and OBJ. That would mean Allen is on SC per rule 6 and Mahomes and Hill are on JB. Since JB already has their two players whose names start with the same letter, Mostert has to be on SC to avoid being on the same team as Mahomes. But Mostert is the only player not playing Sunday morning, so rule 7 means he has to be on JB. So Golladay can’t be on JB.

SC:
Henry
Golladay

JB:
Gronk
Mostert

Since the two G-names are separated, that means rule 1 pairs Mahomes with Mostert, Cook and Cooks, and 2 of the three between Henry, Hill, and Hunt. Since Mostert has to be on JB, Mahomes has to be on JB. Rule 6 then puts Hill on JB, which means rule 1 puts Hunt on SC.

SC:
Henry
Golladay
Hunt

JB:
Gronk
Mostert
Mahomes
Hill

Per Rule 6, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs are on the same manager’s roster. Since JB already has a QB, that puts them on SC. That’s the second WR facing a division rival on SC, so by rule 5 OBJ has to be on JB.

SC:
Henry
Golladay
Hunt
Allen
Diggs

JB:
Gronk
Mostert
Mahomes
Hill
OBJ

Four players left: Jacobs, Cook, Samuel, and Cooks. JB already has their 2 thursday players mentioned in rule 3, so Cooks has to be on SC. That puts Samuel on JB.

SC:
Henry
Golladay
Hunt
Allen
Diggs
Cooks

JB:
Gronk
Mostert
Mahomes
Hill
OBJ
Samuel

SC still needs a second AFC West player to fulfill rule 8, which puts Jacobs on SC and Ingram on JB

SC:
Henry
Golladay
Hunt
Allen
Diggs
Cooks
Jacobs

JB:
Gronk
Mostert
Mahomes
Hill
OBJ
Samuel
Cook
