Most managers are in the first round of the fantasy playoffs, and depth is not as important as it was earlier in the season.
With the WNBA schedule structured as it is, you can afford to empty your bench and stream the most upside players possible.
Here are seven players you can confidently add to your lineup from the waiver wire.
Gabby Williams, Seattle Storm (38.1% rostered in ESPN leagues): With so many playmakers on the Storm, it's easy to overlook Williams. From a fantasy perspective, Williams' value is derived from her ability to contribute across multiple statistical categories. In the last six games, she has averaged 5.7 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.8 SPG in 21.8 MPG. In three of her last six games, Williams has scored at least 20 fantasy points.
Jordin Canada, Los Angeles Sparks (31.1%): In spite of her 41.9% field goal percentage, Canada has put together some solid fantasy performances over the last four games. She's averaged 25 fantasy points and 31.9 minutes per game during that span. Canada has also led the Sparks in APG (6.5) and SPG (3.0) during that time frame. If you are looking for help at guard this week, Canada is one to consider.
Shey Peddy, Phoenix Mercury (18.2%): Peddy continues to thrive in a starting role for the Mercury over the last 11 games, when she has averaged 9.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 3.8 APG and 1.9 SPG in 33 MPG. The Mercury rank fourth in the league with 85.7 PPG over the last 11 games, and Peddy will be a valuable contributor to Phoenix's playoff push.
Naz Hillmon, Atlanta Dream (6.3%): Hillmon's play has trended up over the last five games since being provided additional minutes. The rookie has averaged 8.2 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 2.2 APG, 1.0 SPG and 1.0 BPG in 32.3 MPG during that span. Hillmon became the 15th Dream player to accumulate 100 points in their rookie season. In franchise history, it was the first time three rookies had reached that mark (Rhyne Howard and Kristy Wallace are the others).
Natisha Hiedeman, Connecticut Sun (16.2%): Hiedeman tied her career high of 19 points and had a season-high five 3s on Sunday night against the Minnesota Lynx. The Sun has been one of the top offensive teams this season, ranking third with 84.8 PPG. Over the last five games, Hiedeman has averaged 23.4 fantasy points and 28.2 minutes. She is worth rostering for the remainder of the season.
Katie Lou Samuelson, Los Angeles Sparks (33.2%): Samuelson is enjoying a career season, and she is hoping to help the Sparks secure a playoff berth after a tough start. Over the last nine games, she's averaged 11.2 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 2.3 APG and 0.8 SPG. In addition, Samuelson has averaged 19.3 fantasy points per game this season.
Kayla Thornton, Dallas Wings (21.8%): Over the last four games, Thornton has averaged 21.2 fantasy points. She is a strong rebounder and a great defensive player, and for the Wings Thornton plays a defined role, which results in well-rounded fantasy performances. Dallas is trying to punch a ticket to the playoffs which makes her an excellent waiver wire target.
