2026 Fantasy Outlook
Meyers took a more fitting reserve role with Houston in 2025 as his skillset struggled to hold up to full-time exposure in 2024. Meyers has some of the best defensive skills on the roster, which keeps him in the plans for the Astros as the club lacks better options in the outfield. Meyers is at his best in a matchup-determined situation where he can use his contact abilities and speed to get steals and score runs. The significant improvement in his batting average from 2024 speaks to how platooning was a better situation for him than everyday exposur was the previous season. The current depth chart does not show a better option for centerfield for 2026, so be weary of increasing Meyers's value due to a playing time increase as the overexposure is quite likely to reintroduce the same risks which made him tough to roster outside of AL-Only leagues in 2024.

Signed a one-year, $3.55 million contract with the Astros in January of 2026.
Sent down to Triple-A
The Astros optioned Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.
Analysis
Meyers was losing out on playing time to both Taylor Trammell and Brice Matthews, so Matthews will head to Triple-A, where he will serve in an everyday role in the outfield. He has a .580 OPS with one steal, three home runs and 11 RBI across 148 major-league plate appearances this season.

Stat Review
How does Jake Meyers compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Meyers appeared in a career-high 148 games in 2024 by virtue of his solid glove and no one else on the Astros roster capable of handling center field on a regular basis. At the plate, his 86 wRC+ was tied for 11th lowest among batters with at least 500 plate appearances. To be fair, he improved his quality of contact and undershot his expected metrics. Even so, .235 xBA and .382 xSLG are well below average. Meyers and his 89th percentile sprint speed swiped 11 bags, one more than he totaled in the first 213 games of his career. With no one waiting in the wings to challenge Meyers, he's the favorite to return to center field. Even if he maintains his improvement and is rewarded with commensurate results, he's a low-level compiler, draining batting average.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Landing spot in Kansas City?
The Royals could be a landing spot for Meyers, who finished the 2025 regular season on the injured list due to a calf injury, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The Royals are casting a wide net in their search for outfield help, and Meyers is just one of the possibilities. Meyers slashed .292/.354/.373 in 2025 and is a premier defensive center fielder, but he hit only three home runs and will turn 30 during next season. He is under team control through the 2027 season.
