If you are reading today's WNBA DFS Playbook and Example Lineups, I hope you had a chance to catch Friday's Rush-themed edition of the FantasyAlarm WNBA DFS Podcast with myself and Howard Bender. It is certainly a Far Cry from a lot of our previous podcasts, but I think you'll also find it is Closer To The Heart than a lot of our Podcasts. They call me the Working Man, but hopefully the Lessons I've learned in my research will lead to me Finding My Way to the fantasy Limelight. I'll be I'm always In The Mood for WNBA DFS, and as always, feel free to hit us up in the subscriber chat or on Twitter and let us know What You're Doing for WNBA DFS. Just remember, if you don't win Friday, the WNBA season is a Marathon, not a sprint. Be sure to come back on Bastille Day, when I will be breaking down yet another five-game slate.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Sylvia Fowles, F, MIN | $8,200 | $10,800 | The Dream rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to opposing forwards this season. |
Natasha Howard, F, SEA | $7,700 | $10,500 | I trust her more than any forward in the slate. No forward is averaging more fantasy points, but a handful cost more. |
Jonquel Jones, F, CON | $7,600 | $10,000 | |
Nneka Ogwumike, F, LA | $7,100 | $9,500 | |
Chelsea Gray, G, LAS | $6,300 | $8,500 | |
Kia Nurse, G, NY | $6,200 | $8,400 | |
Arike Ogunbowale, G, DAL | $6,200 | $8,300 | Ogunbowale is averaging 28.8 fppg over her last seven games. She is averaging 18.0 field goal attempts over that span. |
Chiney Ogwumike, F, LA | $6,700 | $8,100 | Chiney played 28 minutes and scored 33.5 fantasy points Tuesday with Candace Parker out. |
Jordin Canada, G, SEA | $6,800 | $7,800 | Canada is averaging 27.9 fantasy points per game over her last four games. |
Teaira McCowan, F, IND | $6,600 | $7,700 | She started Wednesday and scored 33.5 fantasy points in 27 minutes. She now has at least 28 fantasy points in three straight games and six of her last nine. This should be an awfully nice matchup, unless she spends a lot of time matched up against Kalani Brown. |
Glory Johnson, F, DAL | $6,400 | $7,600 | Johnson started for the first time Tuesday since returning from Eurobasket, finishing with 31.5 fantasy points in 27 minutes. |
Leilani Mitchell, G, PHO | $6,300 | $6,800 | I think she is fairly priced on FanDuel, which makes her a steal on DraftKings. She is averaging 29.1 fantasy points over her last six games. |
Sami Whitcomb, G, SEA | $5,300 | $6,500 | Whitcomb is averaging 31.3 minutes and 27.3 fantasy points over her last three games. |
Asia Durr, G, NY | $4,900 | $6,400 | I love this matchup for the Liberty, and Durr has an excellent chance to take advantage. Durr had 27 fantasy points in the first game between these two teams, and she had 23.5 fantasy points against the Aces her last time out. |
Stephanie Talbot, G, MIN | $4,500 | $5,600 | Talbot is averaging 23.8 fantasy poings over her last four games, including 40.75 fantasy points against Atlanta last week. |
Gabby Williams, G, CHI | $4,500 | $5,000 | |
Sancho Lyttle, F, PHO | $3,800 | $4,300 | Lyttle has played at least 20 minutes in each of her last two games, averaging 16.6 fantasy points in those games. Barring some breaking news, Lyttle is your best bet for a punt play on FanDuel. |
Kalani Brown, F, LA | $3,800 | $4,200 | Brown has played at least 15 minutes in three of her last four games, averaging 16.9 fantasy points in those games. She should play at least 15 minutes again if Candace Parker is out, and the Sparks may need her to play even more than that to match up with Teaira McCowan. |
