I think my biggest takeaway from Sunday’s slate is the disparity between prices on DraftKings and FanDuel, especially among the mid-priced forwards. There are some forwards I like a bit better than others, namely Stefanie Dolson and Jessica Breland, but so much comes down to price. As much as I like Dolson’s matchup, there are just safer players around the same price on FanDuel, especially on FanDuel. Similarly, I couldn’t bring myself to pay for Breland on DraftKings. The moral of the story is, don’t get too hung up on any of the mid-tier forward options. I would fill the guard spots first, as well as any value plays or spend-ups you really like, and then just do the best you can wit the last couple of forward spots. There will almost certainly be a solid option no matter how much you have left to spend.

Natasha Howard, F, SEA$8,500$11,300I was worried about Natasha Howard against Chicago on Friday, and she scored 39.75 fantasy points. If that's her floor, sign me up. The Mercury rank 10th in fantasy points allowed to opposing forwards, and Howard had a season-high 60 fantasy points against them earlier this season.
Tina Charles, F, NY$7,800$11,000Atlanta can't rebound, and this should be a great matchup. I don't really trust her for cash, but she has at least 17 field goal attempts in nine of her last 10 games, and you'll be hard pressed to find too many players with her ceiling.
Tiffany Hayes, G, ATL$6,400$9,800Her price on DraftKings is reasonable considering she is averaging 34.7 fantasy points over her last three games. That makes her a crazy stupid bargain on FanDuel. No team has allowed as many fantasy points to opposing guards as the Liberty this season.
Arike Ogunbowale, G, DAL$5,600$8,500She shot 2-23 from the field in her last game, and her price went up $500. Even so, she has played at least 31 minutes with at least 17 field goal attempts in three straight games, averaging 29.1 fantasy poings over that span. I'll happily take that production at that price, espeically on FanDuel.
Jessica Breland, F, ATL$6,200$8,200Breland has had an inconsistent year for fantasy, but she surprisingly ranks 19th in the WNBA in fantasy points per minute. Breland has played at least 23 minutes in four straight games, and only the Sparks are allowing more fantasy points to opposing forwards than the Liberty this season.
Theresa Plaisance, F, DAL$5,000$7,400She nearly didn't make my list because I think you are essentially paying full price on DraftKings, but you get a nice discount on FanDuel. Plaisance is averaging 19.9 fppg as a starter this season.
Stefanie Dolson, F, CHI$6,000$7,000Dolson's numbers are down the last two games, but she had at least 20 fantasy points in six straight games before that. She is Chicago's most consistent forward in terms of minutes, and no team has allowed as many rebounds to opponents as the Sparks this season.
Leilani Mitchell, G, PHO$5,700$6,800If Jordin Canada is underpriced, then I suppose we have to consider Leilani Mitchell underpriced as well. Mitchell is averaging 36.9 fantasy points over her last three games, and this is expected to be the final game before Taurasi returns.
Jordin Canada, G, SEA$6,300$6,700Canada remains fairly cheap, especially on DraftKings. She had 34.5 fantasy points in her first game with Jewell Loyd out, and Canada will almost certainly continue to play 30+ minutes and take 12+ shots going forward.
Azura Stevens, F, DAL$4,900$5,900Whoever starts at forward next to Theresa Plaisance and Kayla Thornton should be a strong fantasy play. My guess is it will be Azura Stevens if Isabelle Harrison connot play, though Imani McGee-Stafford and Megan Gustafson are both candidates to start as well.
Reshanda Gray, F, NY$4,900$5,700Gray is averaging 26.0 minutes and 27.1 fantasy points in two games with Amanda Zahui B. out. That is great production for that price, and only the Sparks have allowed more rebounds than the Dream this season.
Sami Whitcomb, G, SEA$3,800$5,100She played a season-high 29 minutes Friday despite shooting 4-14 from the field and 1-8 on threes. She seems like a lock for 20+ minutes Sunday, and I fully expect her to shoot better.
Megan Gustafson, F, DAL$3,900$4,700Gustafson is averaging 1.15 fantasy points per minute this season. If Isabelle Harrison is out, Gustafson has a chance to play 15+ minutes. That being said, she is awfully risky unless her name is in the starting lineup.
