Welcome back for another edition of Top Fantasy Keepers.

Unlike past weeks, this week I am going to focus on only one player – Jake Meyers of the Houston Astros.

When it comes to the top fantasy keepers, it is easy to fall in love with the top prospects. Tons of experts have done the work of compiling the top prospect lists, which allows us to:

Look through all the lists
Come up with our own fancy formulas to weigh all of the prospects on all the lists
Create our own special rankings system and make us feel really smart

But not all of the top prospects become top players. Sometimes, those drafted in rounds 10, 11 or later are the players who become top fantasy keepers.

Jake Meyers may be one of those players. He never cracked any of the Top 100 Prospects list. Baseball America, MLB Pipeline and Baseball Prospectus never deemed him talented enough to list him with the likes of Michael Baez, Luiz Gohara or Estevan Florial. Or how about Heliot Ramos, Willie Calhoun and Kolby Allard. Those are six former Top 100 prospects – and how well have they done in the majors?

Sometimes the mid-round draft choice becomes the better player and the better fantasy keeper than a top prospect. Is Jake Meyers one of those players? Let’s take a look.
