Dynasty rookie drafts are in our rearview. Best ball season, of course, never ends. But we are right around the corner from the greatest part of fantasy football – redraft season! 

If you ask me, the Scott Fish Bowl is the unofficial “grand opening” of seasonal redraft leagues. And it starts in 10 days! The SFB Podathan is this weekend, so make sure you are subscribed to the Fantasy Cares YouTube for that. And, if you are playing in that or one of the satellites, make sure you check out our Guide to Winning SFB14 with Rankings!

As we do every Friday, we’ll hit on the major NFL news and rumors from around the league first. Then, at the bottom, we’ll share the fantasy football-related rumors, big or small, for us to obsess over. Isn’t football the best?

Jury Orders NFL To Pay Over $4 Billion In Sunday Ticket Antitrust Lawsuit

• A jury ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL that would award $96 million to commercial users and $4.7 billion to residential users. The lawsuit alleges that, from 2011 to 2022, the NFL sold their package for out-of-market games at an inflated price and only via a satellite provider, which breaks antitrust laws. There are still many appeals to come before users see that money, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Report: Amazon Was Not Blocked From Commanders Purchase

• There was a lot of debate on whether Jeff Bezos was shut out in some way from buying the Commanders, either by Dan Snyder or the NFL itself. As it turns out, he was simply outbid. The report states that, had he gone up to $7 billion, the team likely would have been his. Turns out even the man with all the money in the world draws a line somewhere.

Brandon Aiyuk Trade Rumors Continue To Swirl

• It’s no secret that Brandon Aiyuk is looking for a raise. Recent rumors from Adam Schefter suggest that teams like the Buffalo Bills have shown interest in Aiyuk, but there is a difference in evaluation. Teams are looking to pay a WR2 price while San Francisco believes he’s an “elite WR”. If they believe he is so elite, however, you would think they might just pay him themselves. Aiyuk also had a meeting with the 49ers this week though it’s not clear what, if anything, came of it.

Kansas Governor Signs Bill To Fund Chiefs, Royals Stadiums

• Kansas City is technically in Missouri, though it’s located directly on the border of Missouri and Kansas. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly signed a bill into law that would fund roughly 70% of the costs of the new stadium, with the team coming up with the other 30%, if they elected to move the stadiums over the border into Kansas. The Kansas City mayor in Missouri, Quinton Lucas, is confident Missouri will come up with a deal to keep them in state. For now, though, Kansas has thrown down the gauntlet.
