Sometimes I wish I could combine players in the Playbook. For instance, instead of putting both Jewell Loyd and Jordin Canada in the Playbook, and I just put Jewell Loyd/Jordin Canada as one entry, with the understanding that you should play whichever one is cheaper on your site of choice? They are averaging the exact same amount of fantasy points this season, but Loyd costs $1600 more than Canada on DraftKings while Canada costs $1100 more than Loyd on FanDuel. Loyd is probably the safer of the two, but I don’t see any reason to pay up for either one when you don’t have to.
Player | FanDuel | DraftKings | Comments |
Jonquel Jones, F, CON | $8,600 | $11,600 | Everyone be sure to remind Howard Bender that my girl was just named Eastern Conference Player of the Week, while his girl Liz Cambage lost to a Liberty squad that had lost 17 straight games. |
DeWanna Bonner, G, PHO | $8,300 | $12,000 | She's so good, she managed 37.0 fantasy points against Minnesota last week. If that's her floor, sign me up. |
Natasha Howard, F, SEA | $8,100 | $11,200 | She has been as good as anyone this season, but she is cheaper than Jonquel Jones and Natasha Howard. |
Erica Wheeler, G, IND | $7,300 | $7,600 | Wheeler struggled a bit against Phoenix Sunday, but she is still sixth in fantasy points among guards on Tuesday's slate. Only the Dream have allowed more assists to opponents than the Storm this season. |
Diamond DeShields, G, CHI | $7,200 | $10,000 | DeShields scored 23.75 fantasy points Sunday despite shooting 3-11 from the field. Since her 0-7 performance against Minnesota Opening Night, DeShields is averaging 33.6 fppg. |
Alysha Clark, F, SEA | $6,200 | $6,300 | Only five forwards on Tuesday's slate are averaging more fantasy points than Clark this season. Her ceiling may not be high, but her floor is. |
LaToya Sanders, F, WAS | $5,500 | $8,500 | Sanders was not good Sunday, but she did top 20 minutes for the second straight game with Emma Meesseman gone. Sanders played 22 minutes in her first matchup with Connecticut this season even with Meesseman active, and she could play 30 minutes against them this time around. |
Briann January, G, PHO | $5,100 | $5,100 | In her three games against teams other than Minnesota, Briann January is averaging 24.5 fantasy points. At the very least, she's a cash play. |
Tianna Hawkins, F, WAS | $4,700 | $5,400 | Hawkins played a season-high 23 minutes Sunday, and she is averaging 23.0 fantasy points over her last three games. I don't really expect her to outscore LaToya Sanders |
Leilani Mitchell, G, PHO | $3,600 | $4,600 | Mitchell has played at least 24 minutes in both games since re-joining the Mercury, and while she struggled against Minnesota, she had 28.6 fantasy points at Indiana. She is by far the best punt play of the slate. |
Sancho Lyttle, F, PHO | $3,400 | $3,600 | Like most of her teammates, Lyttle's numbers look much better if you ignore the game against Minnesota. She doesn't have to do much to justify this price, but I don't think anyone would be shocked if she got a double-double. |
Elena Delle Donne | $7,400 | $10,200 | We know she is an elite player, and even though she has struggled a bit by her standards, she is sixth among players in this slate in fppg this season. This is likely your last chance to get her so cheap, |
