The Skinny
The Liberty offense ran through Tina Charles during the season opener, and that's unlikely to change. She attempted 23 field-goal attempts -- 13 more than the next-highest player, Kia Nurse. In looking for value, turning to Reshanda Gray and Bria Hartley could pay dividends. Gray came up just two board shy of a double-double in 14 minutes, while Hartley led the team in assists and took nine shots.
The Fever have played two games, with three players -- Erica Wheeler, Candice Dupree and Tiffany Mitchell -- averaging double-digit points. They're the main players worth targeting for DFS. Looking for some low-priced value, Betnijah Laney could produce. She's taken 15 shots across the team's first two games, but has converted only 26.7 percent of those looks. It's possible her shots start falling while she continues to rebound and play defense.

The Skinny
The Dream have had a balanced attack, with all but three players scoring between five and 13 points per game. The passing game has been equal as well, with nobody racking up more than three dimes per game. The best place to look for production then might be rebounding. In that case, Jessica Breland and Elizabeth Williams appear to be viable DFS options.
Similarly to the Dream, the Mystics had a balanced attack in the opener. However, Elena Delle Donne is expected to be back for this contest. She averaged 20.7 PPG last season, so her presence will help normalize Washington. Delle Donne also grabbed 7.2 RPG, so chances are, fewer boards will be around for the likes of Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, Emma Meesseman and LaToya Sanders.

The Skinny
Still hurting from the injury bug and overseas play, the Lynx may be forced to reach into the bench ranks once again Saturday. Sylvia Fowles could provide a bit more value on FanDuel Saturday with a lowered value, though it's worth noting that DraftKings awards bonuses for double-doubles, which may account for some of the pricing difference. Karima Christmas-Kelly has yet to play this season and enters the contest questionable, so her status could define the extent to which others like Jessica Shepard will play. Shepard, Damiris Dantas, Napheesa Collier and Lexie Brown could be relied upon for considerable minutes again if Christmas-Kelly is out.
The Wings are down a star player as well in Skylar Diggins-Smith, who continues to work her way back post-pregnancy. Slight underdogs in the expected lowest-scoring game on the slate, Allisha Gray provided some major minutes in the opener and contributed across the board. Fortunately, the club will get back the services of Azura Stevens, who missed the season opener due to a concussion. She averaged 8.9 points an 4.6 rebounds a season ago and will likely log 20-plus minutes in her debut Saturday.

The Skinny
Alysha Clark mad her season debut for the Storm on Friday after resting for the first two contests following overseas play. Unsurprisingly, she will take a seat again Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back set. Her return carved minutes off of the rest of the frontcourt, allowing Natasha Howard to rest a couple more minutes. It's possible more of the bench will see action as well Saturday given that the team will be playing two games in 24 hours, but Howard should still see more than enough action to get hers offensively. Mercedes Russell has seen her minutes increase in each game this season, so there's a chance she will be another beneficiary of Clark's absence. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis has started all three games but saw a six-minute dip upon Clark's return, so she should also snag additional minutes in the contest.
Chicago got off to a rough start in the opener, getting thumped by 17 at the hand of the Lynx. Even so, the Sky are a 2.5-point favorite in what's expected to be the highest-scoring game on the slate. It's a somewhat surprising number considering the Storm have held each of their first three opponents to 72 or fewer points, but Chicago also plays at an up-temp pace. Four players scored in double figures in the opener, and you can expect more minutes from the team's starters in this one, assuming the game stays relatively close. Courtney Vandersloot got off to a slow start shooting from the field in the opener, but she still headlines the fantasy options for Chicago. Jamierra Faulkner is also expected to make her season debut for the Sky after missing the opener with a knee injury. She offered up 7.6 points, 3.9 assists and 1.4 rebounds in just over 21 minutes per game a season ago.
