The Minnesota Vikings had a tough go of it on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, and Percy Harvin's struggles highlighted some of the issues. Harvin was held to two catches for ten yards and four rushes for 24 yards, while also fumbling in the first quarter. Harvin voiced his frustrations with the offensive struggles, but also had to deal with an ankle injury.

Harvin reportedly suffered the ankle injury in the third quarter, returning in the fourth quarter with a taped-up ankle. He had entered the game with some hamstring issues and had that sideline him a couple times as well.
Fantasy Impact: It was an all around miserable day for Percy Harvin and the Vikings offense. The Vikings get a potentially brief reprieve when they host the Detroit Lions in Week 10. They follow that up with a bye week before entering a rather hellacious stretch that features two games against the Bears, two games against the Packers and a road trip to Houston.
We’ll know more about Harvin’s status on Wednesday when the first practice report comes out. If he is able to go next Sunday, he is likely a solid start against the Lions. However, given the brutal stretch following Minnesota’s bye week, the time may be approaching to unload Harvin. He has had a strong season to date, but the time might be approaching to sell high if you can.
