WNBA Fantasy schedule breakdown: Week 10

By the end of this week, we will officially be at the Olympic break. There are only two days of games this week, with every team playing once. Most leagues should have their matchups set up to go until August 18th, which will include four more days of games in the middle of next month. We’ll take a look at those closer to time and recap what we saw in the Olympics in the next rendition of this column.

For now, we’ll just focus on last week and this short week.

A’ja Wilson has been on an absolute tear lately. She has at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in three straight games and a 20-point double-double in five straight games. She had 33 points, 18 rebounds, three steals, five blocks and three 3-pointers in a win over the Dream on Friday, which came two days after the first 20/20 game of her career in Seattle. In ESPN standard leagues, Wilson has at least 200 more fantasy points than every other player in the league. She is well on her way to winning the league MVP award for the third time in her career.

Rachel Banham has had a quiet season, but she had a loud performance on Sunday. She exploded with eight 3-pointers off the bench in the win over the Mercury, which set the WNBA record for triples off the bench in a game. It was a fun performance, but managers shouldn’t be rushing to add Banham off the waiver wire.

Aside from dealing with foul trouble in their loss last Wednesday, Aliyah Boston has been playing incredibly well for the past month. She hauled in a season-high 16 rebounds in Sunday’s win over Minnesota, which came two days after she put up 21 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks against the Mercury. Caitlin Clark has obviously been instrumental in the team’s recent success, but Boston has certainly made a massive impact as well.

Week 10 games played:

1 game- every team

Light game days:

Wednesday: 2 games

Atlanta @ Minnesota

Indiana @ Dallas

There are obviously no back-to-backs this week with every team only playing one game. There are four games on Tuesday and two games on Wednesday, so the only advantage would be to pick up a player from one of the four teams that plays…
