Kampman Hybrid (1 Viewer)

[Horses]

Yahoo has Kampman listed as both a LB and a DE. Obviously in a shallow league Kampman doens't hold a whole lot of value at LB, but where would he rank as a DE especially with GB's new defensive scheme? I know that both Suggs and J Smith benfit from this.

Well doesn't Yahoo have D and LB designations? I'm not sure I'd advise taking him because he may struggle and leave the team next year. It's been hard to gauge him at OTA's and he hasn't been willing to talk to the press.

Actually Yahoo has become very IDP friendly this year and they have added DT, DE, DL (DE/DT), LB, S, CB and DB (CB/S) postions.

Agreed. DL studs are very hard to replace. At the very least they should have a TBD designation, for players like Kampman. People will draft him as a DE up untill the August update, and then poof, out of the blue he changes position shortly before the start of the season. I've been burnt by this myself in the past, its the one thing I don't like about having IDPs. Its esp tricky in leagues like mine where scoring is position specific.But I don't have a better alternative, except for the TBD designation, since we also want the player positions to reflect reality.

For those really needing to know now what Kampman will be designated (like me):

Apparently, MFL uses Rotoworld for official depth chart info. On Rotoworld's depth charts, they have Kampman labled as an OLB.

It doesn't look good for those of us in dynasty leagues who had Kampman as their DL1 (like me).

Ouch, looks like its a done deal. We're going to have to adjust accordingly

No kidding. Talk about a nose dive in value. I'm wondering if he's worth keeping at his new position.

 

[Horses]

Yahoo still has him listed as a DE. Does he keep his value in those leagues? Could he be like a Suggs in that situation?

No big shock here. The Packers have been saying for months that the 3-4 is their base defense. I personally wouldn't want to participate in any league that allowed him to be listed as a DL (and I'm a Kampman owner). It's very clear that he'll be an OLB this year.

From what I can tell, Kampman signed a four-year deal in March 2006, which will be up after this season. He may end up being traded, in which case he'd have a good chance to go back to being a 4-3 DE. Maybe if you had the space for a year it may be worth it....but that depends on roster sizes and whether or not you want to gamble on all of that happening.

His contract is up at end of this season, you are correct. So in a dynasty/keeper league, he's worth rostering as a guy with potential upside in 2010.

Any updates on how MFL will handle Kampman? He is currently still listed as DL, and Suggs has stayed at DL despite playing hybrid.

Kampman is listed at LB in the depth charts (Rotoworld) that MFL uses to generate their player positions. The changes won't be made official until midway through the preseason. There are a number of IDP league commissioners in the Forum. If your commish doesn't post the list of changes, someone will have it posted here almost immediately after it's emailed out.

Yeah MFL uses Rotoworld's depth charts. DE
