  "account": "Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season is upon us, and fantasy managers are bracing for the impact of a slew of injuries that have struck key players. Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles is the latest to join the injury list, having been diagnosed with a superficial blood clot and placed on injured reserve. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season, meaning he will not play in Week 7. The Eagles' backup quarterback, Tanner McKee, has stepped up admirably, but the Eagles may be in for some challenging pass-heavy game scripts moving forward.\n\nIn the Washington Commanders, running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt suffered a groin injury that has now forced him onto the injured reserve list for the next four games. His replacement, Rachaad White, is a viable pickup, but he is not a dependable option in standard 10-team leagues.\n\nQuarterback Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns made a similar splash, as running back Quinshon Judkins suffered an ankle injury during practice and was ruled out for Week 6. Judkins' absence has led to increased involvement from Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime, who have seen positive contributions from Watson in regular practice. If Judkins remains sidelined, Dylan Sampson could be a solid pickup, especially in PPR leagues.\n\nFinally, in the San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver Mike Evans is in a troubling spot after aggravating an Achilles injury that had already been troubling him. Evans' status remains uncertain, and the full severity of his injury will not be clear until Tuesday.",
