  "account": "Matt Okada, writing for NFL.com, advises fantasy football players to avoid starting Daniel Jones in Week 7. Jones has had a difficult season, with only one week where he scored 14 fantasy points. The Vikings' defense is particularly tough against quarterbacks, ranking as the most challenging matchup in fantasy football. Jones has struggled with turnovers, throwing six interceptions in six games this season. His passing efficiency has also declined, with a completion rate of just 59.6%. The Colts' offensive line has been poor, contributing to Jones' struggles. Additionally, the team's run game has been ineffective. Minnesota's defense blitzes on nearly 70% of their plays, making passing the ball downfield a challenge. The Vikings have the highest pressure rate, points allowed per game, and turnover differential in the NFL. As the Colts play a crucial game this week, Jones' performance is unlikely to be good.",
