Between the suspensions in Dallas and Phoenix and Kristi Toliver's injury, this is one of the most interesting slates of the year. Ariel Atkins is listed as questionable, which could have big implications for Aerial Powers and Emma Meesseman, who were both great their last time out. Even with all of the prominent absences, it's still tough to find punt plays, especially on FanDuel. If you can fit even one stud in your FanDuel lineup, I feel like you're doing pretty well.
We have one programming note for this week: Jon Impemba will handle WNBA DFS Playbook duties for Friday while I am out of town. There will not be a WNBA DFS Podcast for Friday, but I will be back for both the Playbook and Podcast for Sunday.
| Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
| DeWanna Bonner, G, PHO | $8,100 | $11,000 | Bonner is going to have to carry the load offensively with Brittney Griner out. Any loss in effeciency will likely be made up by an increase in usage. |
| Jonquel Jones, F, CON | $8,200 | $10,800 | onquel Jones is first in the WNBA with 3.4 offensive rebounds per game. The Mercury have a 63.7 percent defensive rebounding rate with Brittney Griner off the floor. |
| Elena Delle Donne, F, WAS | $8,300 | $10,500 | DelleDonne had a team-high 14 FGA Sunday, scoring 23 points to go with 10 rebounds. She had 58.75 fantasy points against Seattle two weeks ago, and she should get a ton of shots again with Kristi Toliver out. |
| Leilani Mitchell, G, PHO | $7,300 | $9,700 | Like DeWanna Bonner, Leilani Mitchell will likely have to create a ton of shots for herself and others with Brittney Griner out. |
| Alyssa Thomas, F, CON | $7,600 | $8,400 | Thomas is seventh in the WNBA with 2.7 offensive rebounds per game. She isn't as safe as Jonquel Jones but she is cheaper. |
| Emma Meesseman, F, WAS | $6,800 | $7,800 | Meesseman has at least 24.9 fantasy points in three straight games, and she played 27 minutes Sunday. Meesseman should see heavy minutes again with Kristi Toliver out, though it wouldn't hurt if Ariel Atkins sits as well. |
| Glory Johnson, F, DAL | $6,200 | $7,600 | Glory will get time at the three and the four, and she should be pretty safe with Kristine Anigwe and Kayla Thornton out. |
| Aerial Powers, F, DAL | $6,100 | $7,200 | Powers had 33.75 fantasy points in 36 minutes Sunday with Kristi Toliver out. Both of those numbers were likely helped by Ariel Atkins' injury, but Powers should be a solid value play even if Atkins is active. |
| Natasha Cloud, G, WAS | $5,600 | $7,000 | Cloud played 35 minutes and got a nice bump in usage with Kristi Toliver out Sunday. She turned the ball over eight times which killed her fantasy value, but at least she doesn't have to face Minnesota again. |
| Isabelle Harrison, F, DAL | $6,600 | $6,900 | Harrison should play 30+ minutes for the third straight game with Anigwe and Thornton out. She is averaging 30.1 fantasy points over her last two games. She had 35.8 fantasy points in her last game against Los Angeles. |
| Brianna Turner, F, PHO | $5,200 | $5,800 | Turner has at least 22 minutes and 22 fantasy points in three straight games. She played 29 minutes Saturday against Dallas, and she should get at least that many minutes again with Brittney Griner out. |
| Camille Little, F, PHO | $5,300 | $4,700 | Camille Little should get nearly all of the center minutes with Brittney Griner out. Brianna Turner hasn't played a single minute at center all season and Asia Taylor has played 17 minutes total over her last four games. |
