WNBA Fantasy schedule breakdown: Week 6

We’re about a month away from All-Star weekend in Phoenix, and voting for the game opened up on Thursday. There aren’t any voting results published yet, but plenty of players are making their case to be in this year’s game.

Three-time All-Star Napheesa Collier has had a spectacular season and is currently averaging 21.5 points, along with career-highs of 10.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.5 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 triples per game. She had an unreal performance during Friday’s win over the Sparks as she finished with 30 points, six rebounds, two assists, EIGHT steals and two blocks.

She leads the league in both points and rebounds and is second in blocks per game.

Aaliyah Boston’s numbers are slightly down in her second season, but she started to figure things out last week. During their 2-1 week, Boston averaged 20.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 blocks per game while recording a double-double in all three games. She tied her career-high with 27 points during Thursday’s win over Atlanta, and she swatted a career-best five shots during their win over the Sky on Sunday. Despite a slow…
