2026 Sleeper Targets

Five players flying under the radar who our model believes are being undervalued heading into draft season.

Sleeper Pick #1

Kiki Iriafen

Washington Mystics • C/F • Rank #32

13.3

PTS/G

8.5

REB/G

26.9

FPTS/G

A second-year big with elite rebounding instincts, Iriafen projects for 8.5 boards per game in a Washington frontcourt that should funnel her plenty of touches. At her current ADP she’s being treated as a bench piece – draft her as a starter. The 0.59 steal rate also punches above her positional expectations.

Sleeper Pick #2

Azzi Fudd

Dallas Wings • G • Rank #35

15.0

PTS/G

2.2

3PM/G

27.9

FPTS/G

Health has been Fudd’s only enemy. When she’s on the floor, the volume and efficiency are both there – a projected 2.2 threes per game at a Dallas guard spot that’s wide open is a fantasy goldmine. If she stays healthy for 40+ games, this ranking looks laughably cheap. The steal rate of 1.6 per game is a sneaky bonus.

Sleeper Pick #3

Saniya Rivers

Connecticut Sun • G • Rank #45

8.8

PTS/G

1.48

STL/G

21.7

FPTS/G

Don’t sleep on the steal machine. Rivers projects for a whopping 1.48 steals per game – among the best in the league – and with 42 remaining games on the schedule, that’s a mountain of defensive fantasy value. Her combined steal+block contribution at her draft price makes her one of the best value plays in deep leagues.

Sleeper Pick #4

Janelle Salaun

Golden State Valkyries • F • Rank #46

11.3

PTS/G

5.1

REB/G

22.9

FPTS/G

The young Valkyries forward is on track for a breakout season. Salaun’s 1.8 threes per game projection combined with strong rebounding on a team that needs her to carry offensive load means she has genuine upside beyond these projections. At 38 remaining games, her season FPTS ceiling is much higher if Golden State leans on her development.

Sleeper Pick #5

Alanna Smith

Dallas Wings • F/C • Rank #33

1.65

BLK/G

1.32

STL/G

27.4

FPTS/G

Here’s the deal: 1.65 blocks AND 1.32 steals per game. That dual-threat defensive production is incredibly rare, and the fantasy scoring system’s 2x multipliers on both categories make Smith a statistical anomaly at her draft price. She’s a pick-up who fills categories most other bigs can’t touch. Grab her in the middle rounds and smile.

Methodology: All projections derived from the FantasyPros WNBA Betting Model v10 using weighted per-minute rates × remaining games.
