2024 Fantasy Outlook
Meyers was the Opening Day center fielder for the Astros last year and totaled 341 plate appearances during the regular season, chipping in 10 home runs and five stolen bases. He was dropped from the roster for the ALCS as the team welcomed veteran Michael Brantley back from injury, but Meyers is expected to get another chance as the primary center fielder for Houston to begin 2024. While he is not a high-OBP player, Meyers did well to trim his strikeout rate down to a more acceptable level last season (25.8 K%). His defense will buy his bat more time, though the clock is ticking for the 27-year-old. Meyers ranked in the 92nd percentile in terms of sprint speed last season, per Statcast, so there may be some hidden upside in the stolen base department. That said, if the bat doesn't improve, Meyers could shift into a reserve role for a team with World Series aspirations. Read Past Outlooks
Good to go Sunday
Meyers (ankle) is starting in center field and batting eighth Sunday against the Angels, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The outfielder tweaked his ankle during the final frame of Saturday's contest, but he's still in the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Anaheim. Meyers has gone 3-for-25 with a double and a stolen base through nine games in September.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Meyers was a late entrant into the Astros center field sweepstakes as he was sidelined until late June following surgery on his left shoulder. He never could get things going and was sent to Triple-A Sugar Land in late August after posting a .557 OPS in 149 plate appearances over 46 games. Meyers was recalled for the final week where he was 5-for-11 with no walks and no extra base hits. Meyers line drive and groundball tendencies support an above average BABIP, but his power is limited and he his strikeout rate in his two seasons in the majors is north of 30%. Even so, Meyers should be in contention for a roster spot, if not a starting role. However, he needs to exhibit more contact before he's a fantasy asset, especially in mixed leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be dealt
Meyers has been involved in trade talks this offseason, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Meyers was the Astros' primary center fielder in 2023, as he appeared in 105 games at the position. He maintained only an 88 wRC+ across 341 plate appearances, though he'll likely draw interest around the league due to his strong defensive value. In addition, he has four years of team control remaining.
