  "account": "On September 27, 2026, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered a significant setback as quarterback Baker Mayfield dislocated his right throwing thumb and third-year receiver Jalen McMillan re-aggravated his left knee issue during a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Mayfield, set to undergo an MRI, is expected to miss time, while McMillan will also have an MRI to determine the extent of his injury. The loss of these key players will force fantasy football managers to make quick adjustments, potentially opening up waiver wire options for players such as Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving, and rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels.",
