Harvin is being groomed as more of a pure outside receiver by position coach Sanjay Lal, BuffaloBills.com reports. Said coach Rex Ryan, "He's a playmaker and I think Percy now he's just scratching the surface of what kind of outside receiver he can be. I'm excited to see how he can elevate his game at that position. He's extremely talented."

Analysis:

Harvin will still be used in the backfield and as a return man, but it sounds like the Bills are looking at him to regularly line up across the field from Sammy Watkins, while perhaps Robert Woods and Chris Hogan will work more on the inside. We'll see how it plays out, but this represents a change of role for the speedster, who's often been used as a gadget guy in recent seasons. We're still lukewarm at best about Harvin's fantasy potential, as the Bills have a lot of talented mouths to feed on offense, while the quarterback situation remains unsettled.
