Some thoughts on Vanderjagt

[eriesteeler]

Going against the well worn ff rule, I drafted Vanderjagt relatively early (6th round) in a 12 team league. I really expected a monster year from him. While I know he was injured, he just has not done much at all so far. Is this a guy that might be worth trading in a package deal. There are other good kickers available in the league. It just seems that Indy gets in shootouts all the time and then has to score TDs and not kick field goals. I'd like your input from other Vanerjagt owners. I'll help with your questions as well

All I can say is that is what you get for drafting a kicker early. No one is probably going to trade for a struggling kicker. Vandy is a good example of all the turnover at the top 10 in kicking posistions.

Some guy actually drafted him first in my league. He's in last place.

Mr. Payton summed up well what you already said without saying it. There are good kickers available. So how much trade value is Vandy really going to have?
I've seen Wilkins dropped in a couple leagues because of his bye and he was drafted around the same time. If you think Kris Brown or Kaeding, etc. will score better (and they well may), then go ahead and switch. Not a huge risk.
