WNBA Fantasy schedule breakdown: Week 4

For the second straight week, we have no games on Monday, which makes this another condensed week. However, that doesn’t mean that Monday hasn’t been an eventful day in the W. There was already plenty of drama this past weekend after Chennedy Carter’s hard hit on Caitlin Clark, which sparked plenty of conversation on social media. Carter was assessed a foul on the play, which was later upgraded to a flagrant. That won’t result in a suspension or fine yet, but the league has a point system in place that could lead to an eventual suspension. The discourse that has been a result of the play has been off the walls, and the talk shows Monday morning made things even worse.

Everyone has an opinion (and frankly, quite a few of them have been completely wrong and inappropriate), but we’re going to focus on the good stuff: hoops. Feel free to have those conversations about the physicality of the league on social media. We’re going to talk about the game here.

Shoutout to the Sun! They’re 8-0 and are allowing just 70.6 points per game this season, which is by far the best mark in the league. Alyssa Thomas (36.9 fantasy points per game) and DeWanna Bonner (31.5 fantasy points per game) have been the stars in fantasy hoops thus far, but it has taken a balanced effort from the team to get where they are. They only play two games this week, both of which are at home. They face off against the 0-8 Mystics on Tuesday before they take on the Liberty on Saturday.

Week 4 games played:

4 games- WAS, NY

3 games- LV, DAL, LA, MIN, CHI, PHX, SEA

2 games- CONN, ATL

1 game- IND

After two straight weeks playing four games, the Fever will only suit up on Friday in Washington. They have played 11 games so far, which is at least two more than every other team in the league and five more than the reigning champs in Las Vegas. They’ll get a few days to recover, while the Mystics and Liberty will take on the busy schedule. For New York, Kayla Thornton (6.7% rostered) has taken on extra minutes lately, which has allowed her to average 27.5 fantasy points over her last two games. In Washington, rookie Julie Vanloo (18.2%) is averaging…
