Vikings trade Percy Harvin to Seahawks

We have to begin our free agent updates with a trade that has massive fantasy football implications:

The Vikings have agreed to trade WR Percy Harvin to the Seahawks in exchange for multiple draft picks, according to published reports.

It is unclear what this will do to Percy Harvin’s value. He will have a better quarterback throwing him the football - but his opportunity count may decrease slightly in 2013. The Seahawks have a run heavy offense with Marshawn Lynch leading the way - which is not that different from the Vikings run-first approach behind Adrian Peterson. The Seahawks have a little more talent — but not much more - in the receiving game with Sidney Rice and Golden Tate on the outside.

The clear winner in this will be dynasty owners who picked up Russell Wilson. His value shoots way up after getting a clear WR1 and a dynamic weapon after the catch.
