Weekly WNBA Fantasy Highlights

Fallers

Sabrina Ionescu, G, New York Liberty (100% rostered, 0.0) Ionescu continues to struggle with her shooting, which is particularly frustrating for fantasy managers who drafted her early. Over her last three games, she has averaged just 23.3 fantasy points per game, a significant drop from her 34.2 FPG average since the start of last season. Her shooting percentages are concerning, with 21.6% from the field and 23.1% from 3-point range over the past four games. While a turnaround is expected, the timing remains uncertain, leaving managers to endure her current slump.

Tina Charles, C, Connecticut Sun (97.8% rostered, -0.9) Charles has had two consecutive games with 10 or fewer fantasy points and has seen reduced playing time, averaging below her season's 27.8 MPG. With the Sun struggling and missing key player Marina Mabrey, Charles, at 36, may continue to see limited usage, especially with rookie Aneesah Morrow performing well.

Risers

Jordin Canada, G, Atlanta Dream (53.7% rostered, +1.8) Canada is making a strong comeback after missing the first seven games of the season. She has played 30 or more minutes in her last two games, scoring over 30 fantasy points in each. Her versatility across various statistical categories makes her a valuable asset for fantasy teams.

Tiffany Hayes, G, Golden State Valkyries (57.4% rostered, +6.8) Hayes has been a consistent performer since her return, playing 26 or more minutes in five of her last six games and scoring 24-plus fantasy points in four of them. With leading scorer Kayla Thornton injured, Hayes is expected to play a crucial role in the team's upcoming challenging road games.

Conclusion

This week's WNBA fantasy analysis highlights the ongoing struggles of Sabrina Ionescu and the promising resurgence of Jordin Canada. Managers should consider these trends when making lineup decisions.
