Wide receiver Percy Harvin has been traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the New York Jets in a move that appeared to catch many off guard, fantasy owners and those with future bets on the Seahawks in particular. Harvin was traded for a conditional mid-round draft pick.

Seattle’s odds of winning the highly competitive NFC West have diminished somewhat. They had been a minus favorite but were listed at +120 to pay out $120 on every $100 bet as of Friday evening at Gambling911.com endorsed Sportsbook.ag.

For fantasy players, the Harvin trade will have more of a serious impact.

From NFL.com:

Unless Mornhinweg opens up some super-secret pages of the playbook to specifically unleash Harvin's talents, he's a WR3 at best in fantasy until he proves otherwise and we see how the Jets intend to use him.
