Why I'll be Harvin, Percy on my Fantasy Team!

When I am drafting in rookie only drafts, there is one player that I am trying to target in every one. Percy Harvin, of the Minnesota Vikings. There are mainly two reasons I am trying to do this. First, Harvin is a playmaker. Sage Rosenfels recently said of Harvin, he's just a football player who goes out there and makes plays. Harvin has great speed and plays all of his home games indoors, in climate controlled situations, including two vs. the Lions. Second, they plan to get the ball in Harvin's hands on offense. I know Adrian Peterson is there, and so you have to wonder exactly how many looks will Harvin get. The thing for me is this, Harvin is listed as a WR in all fantasy formats, and he should get rushing attempts in every game. There are reports coming out every day from Vikings camp, about Harvin getting handoffs, Harvin running reverses, Harvin making plays! I think that Harvin is definately getting overlooked, and people are taking Crabtree, Maclin, and in some cases Darrius Heyward-Bey & Hakeem Nicks before looking at Harvin. I think you can get Harvin later in drafts, and I would target him in every rookie only draft I am in. Just the fact that he is a threat every time he touches the ball, and that the coaches are finding ways to get him the ball, means he will probably be boom or bust, but the weeks he goes boom, they could be big booms!
