Jake Meyers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers showed off power and speed in Monday's 4-3 win over the Rays. Meyers went 2-for-3 with a single, a solo home run, a walk, and a stolen base. The 28-year-old took a seventh-inning Manuel Rodriguez fastball over the right-field wall for what would end up being the winning run. Meyers has quietly compiled a solid season so far, slashing .301/.368/.426 with three HR, 15 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 154 plate appearances. He may not get a ton of runs or RBI hitting towards the bottom of the Astros' lineup, but he is worth a look in at least all deep roto leagues, given his success so far.

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers came alive at the plate during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Meyers nearly hit for the cycle as the White Sox had no answers for him during Saturday's game. He smacked a solo homer off right-hander Davis Martin in the third inning. Meyers would hit another blast in the sixth inning which would give the Astros the lead. He finished his day 4-for-4 with two homers, a triple, a double, and seven RBI in the win. This was an incredible game from Meyers, but fantasy managers shouldn't rush to the waiver wire. Meyers is better known for his defense and is unlikely to be producing many seven-RBI games in the future.

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is out of the starting nine for the third-straight contest on Thursday evening. Meyers has been kept on the bench for the past three contests after starting three of the first four games of the campaign in center field. Instead, the Astros will give Mauricio Dubon the starting nod in center field. Through his first 10 at-bats of the campaign, Meyers has tallied two hits and added an RBI. He has struck out four times. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he is dealing with an injury. Last season, Meyers appeared in a career-high 148 contests in Houston and held a .219/.286/.360 slash line with 13 long balls and 11 stolen bases. Dubon is not worth targeting in DFS this afternoon, facing Joe Ryan, who allowed just one run in his first start of the campaign.
