It is really more of a formality. Harvin did say the change at quarterback hasn't fazed him, which isn't a surprise considering quarterback Geno Smith has been arguably the worst player in the league.
Harvin only played in in 44 of 84 snaps last week, a statistic likely to see an increase as he gets more acquainted with his new team. The Jets are dying for a playmaker next to receiver Eric Decker and they just can't get any big plays.
The rushing attack has been outstanding, but the Jets could use the jet sweep to give them another chance break a big one.
Fantasy impact: As alluded to, this doesn’t really have major implications. He was going to be the No. 2 target to begin with, but now he might get 10 more snaps or so. He’s a low-end WR2 in PPR and a risky WR3 in standards.
