An NFL eligibility question

Say Percy Harvin had been on the Jets and played against the Patriots on Thursday. He then is traded to the Seahawks on Friday. Could he play in Sunday's game? More importantly, would his fantasy owners get two games worth if he did play Sunday?

If he's on the roster, I can't imagine him being deemed "ineligible" for his new teams' game.

The fantasy part I have no idea about

Was kidding about the fantasy part. With the lack of any NFL trades during the season, doubt if it would ever happen.

There have been times in the past where players have played 17 regular season games.
Player gets traded from a team that did not have their bye to a team that already had their bye.
This gave fantasy owners a player that got to play an extra game.

I think randy moss was an example of that when he got traded to the Vikings
