Fantasy Tip: Eibner has gone hitless in each of his last five games and should not be used in any fantasy leagues.

Kansas City Royals 2B Whit Merrifield and OF Jarrod Dyson are not in the starting lineup Monday, July 25. 2B Christian Colon is starting at second base and is hitting ninth, while OF Brett Eibner draws into right field and is batting eighth against Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim SP Hector Santiago.

Fantasy Tip: Colon should be a fantasy afterthought with his .250 average, no homer runs and nine RBI in 100 at-bats. Eibner has slightly more appeal as a deep sleeper in DFS and is hitting .254 with three bombs and 10 RBI. Neither project to stuff the stat sheet hitting low in the order, though.

Kansas City Royals OF Jarrod Dyson went 2-for-3 with a triple, grand slam and a walk Monday, July 18, against the Cleveland Indians.

Fantasy Tip: Dyson is normally known for his wheels, but he was caught stealing. However he more than made up for that CS with his surprising power performance. He remains useful in AL-only fantasy leagues and deeper mixed play.

Kansas City Royals OFs Alex Gordon and Jarrod Dyson are not in the starting lineup against Seattle Mariners SP Wade Miley Saturday, July 9. 2B/OF Whit Merrifield will bat leadoff and start in left field, INF Christian Colon will play second base and bat second, OF Paulo Orlando will bat sixth and play center field and OF Brett Eibner will hit seventh and start in right field.

Fantasy Tip: The Royals are only using one left-handed batter (1B Eric Hosmer) Saturday versus the southpaw Miley, which explains the absences of Gordon and Dyson from the lineup. Colon and Eibner should only be viewed as desperation sources of salary cap relief in daily fantasy games.

Kansas City Royals OF Jarrod Dyson is not in the starting lineup against Seattle Mariners left-handed SP James Paxton Thursday, July 7. OF Brett Eibner is starting in right field and is hitting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: Eibner slugged his second home run of the season last night and gets another shot. However, he doesn't hit for much pop and is more of a low-end deep sleeper for those in DFS action tonight.

Kansas City Royals OF Jarrod Dyson is back in the starting lineup against Philadelphia Phillies SP Aaron Nola, batting eighth and playing center field. OF Paulo Orlando is not in the lineup. In addition, DH/OF Kendrys Morales is starting in right field for the fourth consecutive game.

Fantasy Tip: Dyson is 3-for-8 with a pair of doubles over the past week and is 12-for-15 on stolen-base attempts this season. Morales has been starting in right field recently because the Royals have played their last few games in National League stadiums and are looking for a way to keep his bat in the lineup without having the use of a designated hitter.

Kansas City Royals OF Jarrod Dyson is not in the starting lineup Friday, July 1. OF Paulo Orlando is starting in center field and is hitting sixth against Philadelphia Phillies SP Jeremy Hellickson.

Fantasy Tip: Orlando is hitting .335 on the year, but has zero home runs and six RBI in 89 at-bats, which makes him not all that intriguing to fantasy owners outside of depth in cavernous mixed and AL-only universes. Against Hellickson tonight, he's a low-priced sleeper consideration.

Kansas City Royals OF Jarrod Dyson is starting in left field and batting eighth against New York Mets SP Noah Syndergaard Wednesday, June 22. OF Brett Eibner is not in the starting lineup Wednesday.

Fantasy Tip: Dyson is a one-trick pony, and his fantasy value has plummeted, as he's now splitting time with Eibner. However, when Dyson is in the lineup, he's a threat to steal bases. Eibner has posted a .303/.343/.515 slash line over 36 plate appearances to start his career and is worth a look in cavernous mixed and AL-only leagues.

Kansas City Royals OF Lorenzo Cain is not in the starting lineup against Detroit Tigers SP Jordan Zimmermann Sunday, June 19. OF Jarrod Dyson will start in center field and is batting ninth in the lineup.

Fantasy Tip: Dyson has struggled at the plate in June and has only one RBI during that span. Dyson should still be an attractive option for owners in daily fantasy leagues because of his speed.

Kansas City Royals OF Brett Eibner is starting in left field and is batting ninth against Detroit Tigers SP Justin Verlander Thursday, June 16. OF Jarrod Dyson will start on the bench.

Fantasy Tip: Dyson has been seeing semi-regular at-bats in left field with Alex Gordon out, but speed is his main asset and he struggles to reach base frequently. Consider Dyson outfield depth strictly in AL-only setups. Eibner just came off the DL Thursday and has six hits in his first 13 major league at-bats this season. Temper expectations with the small sample size, though, and consider him a desperation deep sleeper pick tonight in DFS.
