Minnesota Vikings rookie WR Percy Harvin was amongst the most highly regarded fantasy football sleepers coming into this season following his explosive career at Florida. When Brett Favre and the Vikings finally consumated their mating ritual, Harvin immediately became one of the top rookie options in 2009.
While Harvin has been compared to a WR version of Reggie Bush - 80 rushing/recev ing yards with a coupel of special teams TDs to boot, he is not a RB getting 6 receptions out of the backfield. Nor can he accumulate the points Bush did a an 80 reception receiver in PPR formats.
Worse, Harvin is a WR who will be expected to provide trick plays when he is on the field. Defenses know this and will be especially attuned to his presence. Even worse than that, he will be a rookie WR who gets the attention of opposing defenses.
For that reason, Percy Harvin will be a fantasy football bust in 2009.

How's that working out for you?
Through the 1st seven games not so well. If I had gambled on him and actually was starting him, then I'd be in 1st place in this wacky season.
