6. Percy Harvin-WR-Seattle Seahawks (38.7%)

If you are looking for a receiver to stash who can make a big impact when he returns, Percy Harvin is the name at the top of the list. Harvin didn’t play this week but was reportedly close to taking the field after returning to practice for Seattle this week.

Harvin was acquired in the off-season to give the Seahawks offense another dimension and will be their #1 target when he returns. I think Pete Carroll will be creative in getting him the ball and will find plenty of ways to get Harvin in space where he has historically been one of the best in the league. Picking up Harvin is a risk since he hasn’t played a snap this season and could be too little to late later in the season for your fantasy team. However, if you can afford the roster spot, no receiver has the upside of Harvin in the Seahawks scheme.

Seattle has a pair of games against the NFC South as they host Tampa and head to Atlanta. Then they face Harvin’s former teammates the Vikings before their bye. Harvin should be back soon, and he could really pay off down the stretch as a legit WR1 if he can return to his previous form with improved QB play.
