Report: Percy Harvin requests a trade

Jun 20, 2012

AP sports writer Jon Krawczynski on Twitter: "Percy Harvin has requested a trade from the ‪Vikings‬."

Harvin told 1500 ESPN that he wasn't "happy" six times in a brief interview, so the obvious issue is his contract, which he signed back in 2009. It runs two more seasons.

Fantasy Impact:

It's strange that he would request a trade instead of holding out, which is the usual route that players use to start contract negotiations. This situation is obviously a big red flag for Harvin until it gets sorted out. The WRs ranging from #7 to #19 are only separated by 14 points in our standard scoring projections, so there's no reason to draft Harvin over someone like Brandon Marshall or Marques Colston at this point.

Fantastic news for fantasy managers hanging on to Mike Evans: he should be considered a WR1 option immediately.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
