Percy Harvin | Minnesota Vikings | 5-foot-11 | 209 pounds | 2nd year 2010 Projected NFL/Fantasy Football Statistics
Pros: Harvin has the makings of an elite slot receiver and capable of always finding that perfect spot in a defensive coverage to put himself in a good position to make a catch and pick up yardage after it. He caught at least three balls in 12 games last year. Harvin was also a favorite in the red zone, where he was utilized 21 times and caught four touchdowns. He bulked up during the offseason to become stronger, which should help in fighting for extra yards and beating defenders at the line of scrimmage. Wideout Sidney Rice (hip) will miss at least the first six games, which likely makes Harvin the top target for quarterback Brett Favre.
Cons: Harvin suffers from migraines, which were a persistent problem for him during his rookie season and can creep up at any time, as illustrated by his hospital visit during training camp. While Harvin excelled last year, part of his success has to be given to the banner year quarterback Favre had. Will the ancient passer be as successful as last year? Fantasy tip: Harvin's value is tied directly to the eventual return of Rice. In fantasy football drafts, Harvin is typically selected in the seventh round. He should become a larger factor in the Vikings system with Rice out. Consider him a low-end or ideal No. 3 fantasy receiving option this year, with strongest value in point-per-reception scoring systems. Battling his migraines may be as big a headache for fantasy owners as it will be for Harvin, though. About Ryan R. Bonini
