Ya. He had a major surgery.Soreness still after a bye week? It is really surprising and disappointing. This is not good for Percy.Hey now Andy, it's not like he is out for the season. Soreness is expected when someone is coming back from something like this.Poor Scientist.
Even once he's able to hit the field he's going to need a week to get worked in again.
Seems like a load of horse#### to me. A game that probably determines home field in the playoffs and they sit Harvin because of some soreness? There is something more significant happening.
If you had to choose: Harvin back for the Saints game or Harvin back for a playoff game which would you take?
My prediction is he'll return next week and he'll be a stud for the playoffs, NOT!!!
Given how things ended last season, they know what's at stake tomorrow night. They're a different team at home, odds-on favorite to go to the SB if they clinch the first seed. Being cautious is great, I'm saying he probably plays tomorrow if this was merely some soreness. I think he's significantly limited and/or in significant pain.
As of right now they are 5-0 at home and 5-1 on the road. You can keep on the "they suck on the road" bit but it isn't true. Besides, they lost the Atlanta game last year because of a complete breakdown on defense, not because of the HFA.
You feel as confident @ the Superdome in the NFC title game?
Well, being that I don't think the Saints will have HFA it doesn't really matter much. But I'm not concerned with any game played anywhere for Seattle. They play good either way.
He's technically not out yet. Carroll said the decision wouldn't be made until tomorrow. Until he's officially ruled out, I have no idea whether he'll play or not.
lol this is what I did as the "safe play" for my wr3.
Surprising amount of comparative logic in these last two responses given the polarized black and white emotional responses here. And I think both are right.
Actually you and I both tied with them with ZERO pts - and I spent the day in my recliner.
I am starting to think this too. He was injury prone before Seattle, now he will never waste a spot on any team of mine again regardless of hype or production.
This is really not the point - this is a big game. The Hawks obviously ramped up Harvin for this week. They want him out there, because they think he helps in a big way (not because they think they "need" as if they can't win without him). That's why they got him. And I'm sure Harvin thinks the same way.

If this was simply a case of being cautious, why not put him on a snap count again? If you're down a score in the second half, roll him out for a series or two, or if the game is in hand, let him rest. Have that extra weapon available in your arsenal.I don't see how anyone will be able to plug Harvin in at this point. There is a laundry list of guys I'd rather roll out who could have been picked up in the last couple of weeks. Harvin probably won't be fantasy relevant, but he may still make an impact in the NFL playoffs. Then again, you have to at least recognize the possibility that there are complications and he won't be able to be a difference maker even then.ImTheScientist said:
I've got Harvin and Doug Baldwin as my only backups and no money left for free agents. If a starting WR goes down and Harvin is miraculously cleared to play with no restrictions in week 15 or 16, I'd absolutely roll him out there for the upside. Realistically though, Baldwin is my only backup WR.
I wouldn't drop him for someone like that either. However, in my league Roddy White was dropped last week and he gets the Packers this week. I think someone like that becomes much more difficult to pass on for Harvin at this point.
absolutely, go get Roddy. I'd still try and keep Harvin on my bench just due to his upside. I'd rather drop someone else who is just there for depth than Harvin
This is so inaccurate it's comical.
I'm gonna try and drop him. WW is painfully thin so there isn't much out there so I might not be able to drop him this week but that's the plan. Here's how I'm looking at his situation:
We have $0 bids in our league but there's a transaction fee attached. I'm just tired of the headache at this point and there's been nothing the last few days which strongly indicates he's going to play anytime soon. Everything is trending in the opposite direction. Per my league rules I have to pay a transaction fee every week to replace Harvin so if I do it now and get someone I like I can just move on and be done with this. Sucks because I really like Harvin a lot and think he could be a stud with Seattle.
