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.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
