For the first time in forever, there are a bunch of mid-priced forwards who are pretty safe but offer pretty high ceilings. With that in mind, I want to fill that position last. If I spend a lot at guard, I can fill the last couple of spots with the cheaper options and feel fine about it. If I have a bit more leftover to spend, that is fine too. If you feel very strongly about someone like Natalie Achonwa, go ahead and lock her into your lineup, but I don’t think that is necessary for Saturday’s slate.

Guards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Kaila CharlesCONIND500010.46430010.64
Nobody has really stepped up with Jasmine Thomas out, but Kaila Charles is averaging 28 minutes and 16.4 fantasy points in her last three games. Indiana is last in the league in fantasy points allowed to guards, and Charles is probably safer than Natisha Hiedeman.
Skylar Diggins-SmithPHONY1030030.17680028.81
Diggins-Smith is averaging 40.4 fantasy points in her last four games, having played at least 33 minutes in each. I prefer her to Diana Taurasi on DraftKings, especially for cash, though I may try to pay up for Taurasi on FanDuel.
Shatori Walker-KimbroughPHONY620013.24530013.54
She has played at least 30 mniutes in each of her last two games, averaging 24.6 fantasy points. The playing time should be safe, especially with Sophie Cunningham out, but her fantasy production has been a bit inconsistent. 
Julie AllemandINDCON820024.89500024.26
Allemand may be the safest guard on the slate, but her ceiling isn't particularly high. She has had at least 20 fantasy points in eight straight games, but she hasn't topped 30 fantasy points since August 20. She should probably look for her own shot a bit more with Tiffany Mitchell struggling of late, but it doesn't appear that is ever going to happen. 
Natisha HiedemanCONIND400010.4334009.76
Hiedeman has scored at least 13.25 fantasy points in each of her last two games, and she could easily do that again in a great matchup. I just have a hard time getting on board when her minutes and field goal attempts are pretty much exactly the same as they have been all season. The only thing that has really changed is Hiedeman is grabbing more rebounds. It's hard to count on that continuing, but I'm really tempted.

Paris KeaNYPHO560012.67300012.15
Kea has played at least 17 minutes in four straight games, with at least 17.25 fantasy points in three of those. She is a great FanDuel play, but I would consider her on DraftKings as well.
Jackie YoungLVATL750020.19520019.82

Young has proven to be a bit streaky so far this season, so we're going to attempt to ride the hot streak. She is averaging 40.9 fantasy points in her last two games, and Atlanta is 10th in fantasy points allowed to guards. She's a great GPP play, but I'm considering her for cash as well.

Forwards
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Glory JohnsonATLLV570013.45520013.82
I couldn't bring myself to actually use her in an example lineup, because she has burned me in the past. That being said, the Aces are 10th in fantasy points allowed to forwards, and she is averaging 21.9 fantasy points in her last two games. If she does that again, she will be a ince value play. 
Brianna TurnerPHONY1010025.32750026.94
Turner is averaging 37.8 fantasy points in six games since Brittney Griner went down, and she finally feels like she is fairly priced. That being said, the Liberty are 10th in opponent's points, 12th in opponent's rebounds and 11th in opponent's blocks this season. I think I am willing to pay full price in this matchup.
Amanda Zahui BNYPHO920028.34620027.82
Amanda Zahui B is averaging 28.83 fantasy points in her last three games despite shooting 14.2 percent from the field in those games. If she has even an okay shooting night, she could be a great value.
Teaira McCowanINDCON800022.46600021.93
McCowan is averaging 22.3 minutes and 30.7 fantasy points in her last three games. She probably won't do much better than those numbers, but she should be safe with Lauren Cox out.
Dearica HambyLVATL950029.35700029.26
She is too cheap for somebody averaging 39.4 fantasy points in her last four games. She probably should have been playing 30+ minutes per game all along, and with the Aces fighting for a double-bye in the playoffs, it's hard to imagine her going back to 25 minutes per game. 
PlayerTeamOpp.DK $DK FPPGFD $FD FPPG
Natalie AchonwaINDCON780019.84580019.69
Achonwa has scored at least 21 points in seven consecutive games, averaging 26.25 fppg in that span. She is as safe they as come for fantasy right now.
Candice DupreeINDCON720023.96550023.93
Dupree has scored 26+ fantasy points in three straight games; the lone exception was when she left Tuesday's game with a lower back issue. She may not be quite as safe as Natalie Achonwa or Brionna Jones, but she is cheaper.

As always, the lineups below are examples of lineups you can make using the players in the Playbook and are not for plug and play.
