  "account": "The NFL has announced that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs will be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt list, making him eligible for fantasy football lineups as soon as Week 7. Jacobs was placed on the exempt list due to pleading no contest to two misdemeanors stemming from an incident involving his ex-girlfriend. While the league has not viewed the video of the incident, they have decided to allow him to play. The investigation is still open, and the NFL reserves the right to impose further discipline if warranted. As of now, Jacobs is expected to be eligible to play in Week 7 without any official punishment from the league. However, he faces the possibility of further discipline from the league. Fantasy players should consider Jacob's return, but keep in mind that he is an aging running back with a history of injuries.",
