The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the Seahawks "hope" to have Harvin back in time for Thanksgiving, but they have a bye that week. That would put a spotlight on their Week 13 Monday Night Football tilt against the New Orleans Saints for Harvin's potential return.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If Harvin recovered quickly, perhaps he possibly could be back for the Week 11 date against his former Vikings teammates in Seattle. That means the team will be placing him on the PUP list rather than on IR and designated to return. ... Meanwhile, it's worth noting that initial reports indicated the Seahawks hoped Harvin wouldn't even need surgery and that their doctors recommended rest and rehabilitation first. According to NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal, the fact that Harvin announced his surgery on Twitter and not through the team is another sign of disconnect between the organization and its prized offseason acquisition. Setting expectations for his return just sets up a chance to fall short of expectations. ... Whatever the case, you can drop Harvin down your rankings into Michael Crabtree's neighborhood -- if you have room on your roster to stash them. Given that, I'll remind you that Golden Tate led all Seahawks receivers over the final 11 games last season with 42 catches, 635 yards and five touchdowns. You'll want to move him up a notch or two.
