NYJ - Acquire WR Percy Harvin
Source: FOXSports.com - Jay Glazer
The New York Jets acquired WR Percy Harvin from the Seattle Seahawks Friday, Oct. 17, for a conditional draft pick.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Harvin would seem to take a hit in value, but he wasn't exactly soaring with the Seahawks, and the Jets could be more inclined to force him the ball the way the Vikings did. Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin both get bumps in targets, but the whole Seahawks offense loses an edge with Harvin's speed and big play threat gone. Rookie Paul Richardson's speed could help fill that void, but Russell Wilson seems like a less exciting fantasy QB today either way. Back to Top NO - TE Jimmy Graham to be game-time decision
Source: The New Orleans Advocate - Nick Underhill
Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints TE Jimmy Graham (shoulder) said he won't know until just before kickoff Sunday, Oct. 19, if he'll play in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. “I think (coach) Sean (Payton) might try to see how I’m doing on Sunday and maybe work me before the game to see where I’m at,” Graham, who was limited and listed as questionable for Sunday, said. “As of right now I don’t know.” Head coach Sean Payton would not discuss whether Graham could be limited if he plays Sunday. TEs Benjamin Watson and Josh Hill will likely see an increase in snaps if Graham doesn't play.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Graham is a low-end boom/bust TE1 if he goes on Sunday, but lineups should be set without him. Drew Brees is a borderline QB1 without Graham, so if you're considering him and another solid option, Graham's status matters a lot there, too. Marques Colston has been identified as the candidate to pick up the most slack in the passing game if Graham is out. Back to Top MIA - RB Lamar Miller should play

Johnson is clearly on the "doubtful" side of questionable. Set your lineups without him this week. If he plays, Johnson is still probably only a boom/bust WR3/Flex.

Spiller is not taking the easy yards inside and breaking too many runs outside. He looks uncomfortable on runs between the tackles, with jittery and impatient body language.
