</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Percy Harvin is reportedly driven to break out this season because he doesn't think he's appreciated by players around the league as a top talent.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Unlike last summer when Harvin missed most of camp with ongoing migraines and his grandmother's death, he's been a standout through the first week. Coach Leslie Frazier and coordinator Bill Musgrave have big plans for Harvin as the top target in the passing game. Better yet, he's been migraine-free for seven months. "It's not a problem," one source said of the migraines.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Percy Harvin (ribs) confirmed that he would be in the lineup for Saturday's game if it was a regular-season contest.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The Vikes are just giving him a rest to ensure that he enters the regular season at 100 percent. As one of the most physical receivers in the NFL, Harvin does tend to get nicked up more than others but the payoff is worth it. He's a top-20 fantasy receiver.

"It's just a matter of our using his strengths to our greatest advantage, to our team's advantage and picking out spots when we do," said Frazier. Harvin has only played 51.4 percent of the snaps through two games, and doesn't play in the red zone. Beat writer Tom Pelissero suspects that the Vikings are "preserving" Harvin. "That's not my call," said Harvin Wednesday. "That's coach's decision. All I can do is come out here and get better."

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The good news is that Frazier doesn't believe the illness is migraine-related, and Harvin is expected to return to practice Friday. Barring a setback, Harvin is safe to play as a WR2/3 against the Lions this week.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Percy Harvin played 74.5 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 3 before leaving the game with five minutes left in regulation.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Harvin missed the final five minutes and all of overtime after taking a shot to the gut and subsequently vomiting. But before that, it's clear the Vikings' coaches listened to the critics that said Harvin needed to be on the field more. He remains their best playmaker in the passing game by a landslide and may be facing a Chiefs secondary this week that won't have Brandon Flowers (ankle).

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Harvin's X-ray showed no fracture, and coach Leslie Frazier still expects him to play on Sunday against a Bears team with two new starting safeties. Check back Friday afternoon to be sure, but it sounds like Harvin will be good to go as our No. 21 wide receiver play this week. He's averaging a combined 67 yards per game thus far.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Vikings WR Percy Harvin (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Harvin acknowledged on Friday that he anticipates continued problems with the injury but has reportedly been cleared to play for Week 8. While his upside remains high, the low play counts have been a situation to avoid. Over the past two games Harvin's played under 40 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps and projects as a high risk/reward WR3 both this week and going forward. The Panthers rank 12th against the pass this season and allow an average of 16.3 points per game to opposing wideouts.
