The WNBA is back with another four-game DFS slate Tuesday, and unlike Sunday, there is all kind of fantasy news to consider. The weird thing is that in most of these cases, we want these players to return to help out their teammates. Napheesa Collier has played better next to Dorka Juhasz while Aliyah Boston struggled as soon as NaLyssa Smith left the lineup. On the other hand, Washington’s injuries have opened up opportunities for others that would go away once they have recovered from their injuries. Tuesday’s games tip off at three different times, so you will likely need to be vigilant throughout the evening.

 
Guards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Marina MabreyCHIMIN760027.75720026.43
I'm not sure how Marina Mabrey scored 39.25 fantasy points Sunday and saw her DK price drop $300. Mabrey has been inconsistent at times this season but she is averaging 38.1 fantasy points in her last three games and no team on the slate has allowed more fantasy points to guards than Minnesota.
Kelsey PlumLVDAL990030.36620028.86
Plum is back to being the cheapest Aces guard on both sites, and Dallas has allowed the third-most fantasy points to guards this season. Plum has averaged 38.8 fantasy points in two games against Dallas, five more than against any other team this season.
Kahleah CopperCHIMIN930029.12670027.78
Add Copper's FanDuel price to the list of things I don't understand for Tuesday. Her 24.5 FD fantasy points at Dallas Sunday broke a streak of six straight games with at least 30 fantasy points. Copper scored 40.25 DK fantasy points in her only game against Minnesota this season, and I would consider playing both her and Mabrey on DraftKings.
Natasha CloudWASPHO890028.18620027.80
Brittney Sykes has been more consistent, but Natasha Cloud had 51.5 fantasy points against Phoenix a couple of weeks ago on just 11 shots. She is much more likely to provide value than Sykes, especially on DraftKings.
Lindsay AllenMINCHI690017.06580016.87
Allen's fantasy production has come and gone all season, but she has averaged 27.5 fantasy points across her last three games. We know the minutes are safe, and it was nice to see her usage remain high even with Naphessa Collier back in the lineup. She is risky, but she looks like a better bet than the rest of the guards in her price range.
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Zia CookeLAIND37008.3545008.37
Cook has played at least 19 minutes and scored at least 13.75 fantasy points in her last two games, both against Washington. She couldn't manage even double-digit fantasy points in two home games with Indiana just two weeks ago, but she is worth another shot on DK at this price.
Karlie SamuelsonLAIND520014.87480014.30
Usually when a player's prices are so close together, I prefer them on DraftKings. However, the presence of Zia Cooke and the lack of any bargain guard options on FanDuel means I'm mroe like to play Samuelson there. She has played at least 25 minutes and scored at least 14.5 fantasy points in three of her last four games.
        
Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Aliyah BostonINDLA980032.58810033.57
Boston is averaging 43.6 fppg since Victoria Vivians exited the starting lineup. With the news that NaLyssa Smith is questionable, Boston should be a solid value if Smith reenters the starting lineup or if Emma Cannon retains her spot.
Napheesa CollierMINCHI1040040.48880040.78
Collier's fantasy production was much better after Dorka Juhasz replaced Jessica Shepard in the starting lineup. If Juhasz misses a second consecutive game, that will make me a bit nervous. That being said, Collier scored 36 fantasy points in 35 minutes against the Liberty Friday in her first game back from a three-game absence. The other top-tier forwards all have tougher matchups, so I'm rolling with Collier even if Juhasz is out.
Jessica ShepardMINCHI790025.75590025.07
Shepard topped 24 minutes Friday for the first time in nearly two months, scoring 30+ fantasy points for the second time in her last three games. If Juhasz is out, Shepard is the best mid-priced forward on either site. If Juhasz returns but Shepard stays in the starting lineup, I will still be tempted to start her.
Elizabeth WilliamsCHIMIN870024.27590026.26
Williams has slowed a bit after putting up great fantasy numbers for much of July, but she had 33 fantasy points in her only game against Minnesota. That kind of production is rare in her price range, especially on FanDuel.
Maddy SiegristDALLV32006.6640006.89
Siegrist played just 23 seconds when these teams met last week, so the risk is obvious. That being said, she has averaged 13.3 minutes and 14.8 fantasy points in the three games since. It might be better to avoid this price range altogether, but if that's not an option, Siegrist is worth another shot.
