Sevgi Uzun, Dallas Wings (available in 87.9% of ESPN leagues) has been solid across-the-board to start her rookie season, utilizing her overseas experience to gain control of her squad from the point guard slot. For the season she is averaging 5.1 APG, 2.7 RPG, 1.4 SPG and 0.6 BPG in 32.0 MPG. But she has picked up her shooting and scoring of late as well, with two double-digit scoring efforts and at least a 3-pointer per game in her last three outings.

Kia Nurse, Los Angeles Sparks (available in 61.6% of leagues) had a great three-game start to the season, then turned in consecutive down efforts. She has since bounced back in a major way, averaging 17.0 PPG, 2.3 APG, 2.7 3PG and 1.3 RPG in 31.3 MPG over her past three games.
