I doubt Ware gets many carries at all, if he even makes the active roster...and Harvin is still a WR first and foremost, so the discussion about RB corps doesn't include him.
Alas, I think Turbin is also going to have a big year.

What's wrong with him having a big year?

But they specifically mention Kaep and Wilson as a bonus to the running Corps. So I would have to assume in the same merit that Harvin is at least considered a bonus.

Harvin is a WR that will occasionally line-up in the backfield. That doesn't make him a RB. In fact, I think the fan base in general is over-estimating how much Harvin will be in backfield. I think they will be using him much more often in formation shifts and motion to keep the defense guessing, more so than just sticking him in the backfield as a novelty.

Harvin had 52 carries in 2011 and 22 carries for half a season in 2012. He had a 6.6 ypc in 2011 and 4.4 in 2012. Throw in a couple TD's from teh RB position as well. I dont consider that a novelty by any sense of the word.
I dont know if they will use him the same way here, but his ability to run out of the backfield is concrete and should be heavily considered when ranking RB Corps.
