Percy Harvin injury update: Jets WR probable; should start for fantasy owners
Percy Harvin is probable with a heel injury. We break down the fantasy implications.
Peter Aiken
Harvin caught 11 passes for 129 yards in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. It was his first real game with the Jets after they acquired him from the Seattle Seahawks. Harvin does have a lengthy injury history which is always a red flag, but all accounts suggest this foot injury is minor. He'll be good to go for the Steelers in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact: Harvin will play -- there's little doubt about that -- and he'll be playing against a Steelers defense that is missing Troy Polamalu and Ryan Shazier. Fantasy owners should start Harvin with confidence. He'll be the primary weapon in the passing game for the Jets. Pittsburgh ranks 20th in the league against the pass, with 252.2 yards allowed per game on average.
