To say that 2018 was David Myers' second best of eleven years on the Essendon list isn't saying much, as he still only got the ball 20 times per game. His statistical output also varied wildly from week to week, such that he did not hit the midfielder baseline twice in a row. Myers is most definitely the sort of fantasy asset you want to stay away from. Despite his advanced age, he has a long history of injury and announced in the off season he was struggling mentally as well. Good luck to him, but leave him in the fantasy free agent pool.
Don't buy from Myers

Myers up the Amazon
Essendon gave David Myers two chances to re-enter AFL level after a finger injury delayed his return to footy. The first six-match block was unimpressive, as he looked the least fit of the previously drug-suspended Dons. The next stint kicked off with 31 touches against Collingwood but he never hit those heights again, and that remains only his second plus-30-touch game across 100, 20 more his level. The club showed a lot of faith in Myers by playing him over Brent Stanton last season, and he hasn't quite repaid it on-field at this point. He should come under threat for his spot on a wing by Kyle Langford and Matt Guelfi, if not one or more of the traded-in stars from other clubs. His JLT will be important for his career, as if he can't push towards 25 touches a game again he's not worth drafting at all.
