Meek is a consideration in season long fantasy based on his starting salary, of course he will need to find a direct path to the No.1 ruck at the Hawks which is no certainty. He’s a must watch over pre-season to see where he is on the depth chart.
He’s a mid-late round option in single season draft leagues, late in the pre-season there should be some type of certainty where he is at in the Hawthorn ruck plans which will heavily impact his draft position.
