Fantasy women’s basketball: Latest news, stats on WNBA teams

Who is trending up in fantasy women’s basketball? Which rotations are changing? What’s the latest with the notable injuries around the WNBA?

Here’s a look around the league at the most fantasy relevant news and notes for all 12 teams:

Atlanta Dream

Cheyenne Parker had 25 points and 11 rebounds against the Aces last Friday. It was her first career game with at least 25 points and 10 rebounds. In other Dream news, Aari McDonald will miss three to four weeks with a torn labrum suffered against Las Vegas. The Dream are dealing with a plethora of injuries right now. Taylor Mikesell is suddenly on the fantasy radar and is worth paying attention to moving forward. The rookie is only rostered in 0.2% of ESPN leagues. Over two seasons with Ohio State, Mikesell averaged 17.9 points and made 3.4 3-pointers per game on 44.2% shooting, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors both seasons. She has a chance to make an impact in deeper leagues as a long-range specialist.

Chicago Sky

In an electrifying showdown on Tuesday night, Alanna Smith and Dana Evans propelled the Sky to a thrilling overtime victory over the Fever. Smith unleashed her full potential, tallying an impressive season-high 38 fantasy points, showcasing why she’s a hidden gem (only rostered in 55.1% of ESPN leagues). Despite her prior stints with the Mercury and Fever, it’s in the overseas arenas where Smith’s talents truly flourished. That success has finally translated to the WNBA, where she made crucial plays when it mattered most. Not to be outdone, Evans also delivered a remarkable season-best performance with 38 fantasy points of her own. Surprisingly, she’s only rostered in a mere 12.6% of ESPN leagues. Depending on whether you need a guard or forward, you should consider adding one of them to your fantasy teams.

Connecticut Sun

It’s time for fantasy managers to keep a close eye on Rebecca Allen. In Tuesday night’s showdown against the Aces, she had an excellent game off the bench, delivering a season-high 39 fantasy points in 21 minutes. Allen’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. Battling through a series of injuries and setbacks, the Australian guard appears poised to shine for the Sun. Prior to her eighth WNBA season, she endured multiple concussions and a painful incident during the 2022 World Cup that resulted in two broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. Allen is only rostered in just 35.4% of ESPN leagues. Keep a keen eye on her, as she could be ready to make a significant impact.

Dallas Wings

Satou Sabally is having a career season. She had 24 points and 10 rebounds against the Mercury on Wednesday night and now has seven straight games with 15+ points and 7+ rebounds this year. Only Chamique Holdsclaw (11) had a longer streak in WNBA history. Sabally has averaged 22.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals so far…
