Sunday was another good day for the WNBA DFS Playbook. Marina Mabrey and Alanna Smith both provided outstanding value for a shorthanded Sky team, while the rest of our picks were solid, if unspectacular.

Tuesday’s four-game WNBA DFS slate could prove to be more of a challenge. Mabrey and Smith have seen their prices skyrocket, and we have not yet seen any new mid-priced value plays rise to take their place. In fact, there may be even fewer value plays if Tearia McCowan and Kayla McBride are able to play.

Getting up-to-date fantasy news, especially leading up to tip-off of the late games, could be as important as ever Tuesday. That is where the FantasyAlarm discord comes in. We have a WNBA channel where I will answer questions and post updates and a WNBA lineups channel that is the best source I have found for WNBA news. If there are any surprise starters or rotation players who are a late scratch, you can find it there. It could make the difference in what looks like the most challenging slate so far this season.

 
Guards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Kaila CharlesSEANY3000535005.45
Charles played nearly the entire fourth quarter Friday in a four-point game, so I think her playing time is probably safe. Her on-court impact hasn't shown up in the box score just yet, in part due to shooting 18 percent from the field. At her price, I will gladly take 15+ minutes and hope the fantasy production follows.
Kristy WallaceINDCON570016.17450015.53
Wallace has played 20+ minutes in each of the last two games and while there is no guarantee that continues, I trust her minutes and fantasy production more than anyone else in her price range, especially on FanDuel.
Crystal DangerfieldDALMIN650019.6756008.80
Dangerfield has averaged 25.0 fantasy points in her two starts. No one in her price range has come close to that production.
Kelsey MitchellINDCON890026.17650024.87
In years past, Mitchell's usage would be so astronomical that it wouldn't really matter if she was efficient or not. That is no longer the case. That being said, her poor shooting the last two games isn't going to last long. I don't see much difference between Mitchell and most of the guards who cost more.
Arike OgunbowaleDALMIN1080040.92860037.30
Only Seattle has allowed more fantasy points to opposing guards this season, and Ogunbowale has been consistent for fantasy even when her shots aren't falling. There is no one on this team who can stop Ogunbowale from getting open shots, and we know she doesn't need to be open to score in bunches.

Courtney WilliamsCHIATL900029.44670027.02
Williams is the cheapest starting Sky guard on both sites, and I think there is a good chance she has the best matchup in this game. It also doesn't hurt that this is a revenge game. I might pivot to one of her teammates if I have extra to spend but Williams should be just fine at this price.

Sika KoneCHIATL480020.5430019.20
Kone made her WNBA debut Sunday and played 23 minutes, or one minute fewer than Elizabeth Williams. I'm not sure that is sustainable. That being said, Kone is a lot cheaper than a lot of players who haven't reached 23 minutes in a game yet this seaosn, and she has a chance to return value even in fewer minutes.
Alanna SmithCHIATL840021.69650022.08
Smith's performances have been a little uneven, but she is averaging 1.11 fppm, and she will almost certainly play 25+ minutes with Chicago shorthanded.Smith isn't as safe as the more expensive forwards but the position is a total mess once you get cheaper than her, especially on FanDuel.
Aliyah BostonINDCON870028690029.00
Three games into the season, the cheaper player between Boston and NaLyssa Smtih has scored more fantasy points in every game. I don't necessarily expect that to continue much longer, but I do think it is a good indication that we shouldn't overpay for Smith's 45.75 fantasy points at Atlanta Sunday. Boston has been more consistent than Smith and she was much better in the season-opener against Connecticut. Getting to save money is just an added bonus.
Brionna JonesCONIND880030.81760031.65
Jones's minutes were limited by foul trouble the first three games but if she can avoid that and play 30+ min, she is underpriced.
Napheesa CollierMINDAL910035.44820036.22
Collier is an elite fantasy play and she still isn't priced like it on DraftKings. I like this matchup better for her if Tearia McCowan remains out but at her price, she will probably be in my lineups either way.

Cheyenne ParkerATLCHI960032.58740030.05
Parker has never been as consistent for DFS as I would like, but she is probably underpriced on FanDuel. She has at least 38 fantasy points in two of her three starts, and there is no one in Chicago's depleted frontcourt who should be able to slow her down.
