I often find it interesting how the different sites construct their WNBA DFS slates. Both FanDuel and DraftKings offer four-game WNBA slates Sunday, and that is the only classic slate on DraftKings. On FanDuel, the main slate is a two-game slate with the late games beginning at 6:00pm ET. This playbook considers all four games for both sites; just know that if you want to play the big slate on FanDuel it will require an extra click.
| Guards | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Lexie Brown | LA | NY | 5900 | 15.99 | ### | 15.35 |
| Brown started and played 33 minutes with Brittney Sykes out Friday, topping 19 fantasy points for the third consecutive game. Kristi Toliver is a fine alternative to Brown if you need to save a little money. | ||||||
| DiDi Richards | NY | LA | 3200 | 7.25 | ### | 7.04 |
| I expect Rebecca Allen to take Sami Whitcomb's minutes Sunday but with Whitcomb out and Crystal Dangerfield released last week, the Liberty have just three healthy guards on their roster. Richards should get all of the backup minutes to Sabrina Ionescu and Marine Johannes. Richards's ceiling isn't very high but she will get you something and costs nothing, and that is hard to come by. | ||||||
| Sabrina Ionescu | NY | LA | #### | 38.14 | ### | 36.37 |
| Its not a great day to pay up for forwards, which makes Ionescu even more appealing. She has at least 39 fantasy points in six straight games, and Los Angeles is dead last in fantasy points allowed to guards. Ionescu looks super safe, and her ceiling is as high as anyone's thanks to her triple-double potential. | ||||||
| Chelsea Gray | LV | MIN | 9200 | 29.03 | ### | 29.24 |
| Gray is pretty clearly third on the Aces guard pecking order, except against Minnesota. Gray is averaging 37.8 fantasy points in three games against Minnesota, and she has at least 28 fantasy points in seven of her last eight games. Gray looks like the safest Aces guard Sunday and I really like her price on FanDuel. | ||||||
| Tiffany Hayes | ATL | SEA | 7500 | 29.75 | ### | 28.10 |
| Hayes was great in her first game of the season, scoring 30 fantasy points in 30 minutes against the Liberty Thursday. Even if she regresses a little bit, she is underpriced if she's going to play 30 minutes again. | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Marine Johannes | NY | LA | 7600 | 22 | ### | 19.97 |
| Her average is kept down by a rough performance in her second game of the season, but Johannes has at least 22 fantasy points in five of her seven games of the season. She has a better matchup than Tiffany Hayes and she is much cheaper on FanDuel. | ||||||
| Forwards | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| Myisha Hines-Allen | WAS | CON | 6400 | 18.42 | ### | 17.70 |
| We still haven't seen anyone step up consistently as a starter when Elena Delle Donne is out, but Myisha Hines-Allen is getting close. She has scored at least 29 fantasy points in three of the last four games Delle Donne has missed. Hines-Allen was awful in the other game, so I feel better about her in tournaments, but I will probably have her in some cash lineups due to her price. | ||||||
| Tianna Hawkins | WAS | CON | 3600 | 10.36 | ### | 9.88 |
| Hawkins's production waned in June while Hines-Allen was breaking out, but Hawkins still has double-digit fantasy points in six of the seven games she has played without Delle Donne. Hawkins looks like the best punt play on the board, and she could rack up fantasy points if the game is a blowout. | ||||||
| Ezi Magbegor | SEA | ATL | 8800 | 28.88 | ### | 31.49 |
| Her minutes and production have dropped of late, but that is true of all of the forwards in her price range. She has still topped 20 fantasy points in all 17 games this season, and we know she is capable of exploding for a big game even in 20ish minutes. Atlanta is ninth in fantasy points allowed to forwards. | ||||||
| Natasha Howard | NY | LA | #### | 31 | ### | 30.82 |
| Howard is the cheapest of the elite forwards that I trust Sunday. Only two teams have allowed more fantasy points to forwards than the Sparks this season, and Howard is averaging 34.9 fantasy points in her last five games. | ||||||
| Stefanie Dolson | NY | LA | 7200 | 19.33 | ### | 19.41 |
| On a slate where I trust very few of the forwards, I like the idea of taking a shot on someone who has scored 32 fantasy points in two of her last three games. If she can stay out of foul trouble, she has a chance for another big game. | ||||||
| Player | Team | Opp. | DK $ | DK FPPG | FD $ | FD FPPG |
| A'Ja Wilson | LV | MIN | #### | 40.75 | ### | 41.26 |
| I think Wilson is the top spend-up forward on the slate, especially on DraftKings. Wilson is averaging 42.3 fantasy points in three games against Minnesota, including 40.0 fantasy points against them on Friday. It was Wilson's fourth straight game with at least 40 fantasy points. | ||||||
| Kia Vaughn | ATL | SEA | 3600 | 8.77 | ### | 8.67 |
| Thursday wasn't the first time we have seen Vaughn play 20+ minutes and put up big fantasy points, so we shouldn't necessarily expect a repeat. That being said, Atlanta probably needs her size and defense against Seattle, and you could certainly do worse at her price. | ||||||
