Rising Stars and Falling Fortunes in the WNBA

Leonie Fiebich has capitalized on her increased playing time with the New York Liberty, showcasing her skills in a significant way. Over her last eight games, Fiebich has scored 20 or more fantasy points in five of them, proving her worth on the court. Her consistent performance, especially with the team dealing with injuries, has made her a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. If you're in need of a strong forward or center, Fiebich is a must-add.

Janelle Salaun of the Golden State Valkyries is another player to watch. With the unfortunate season-ending injury to All-Star Kayla Thornton, Salaun steps into a role that could see her fantasy value skyrocket. Known for her scoring ability and decent rebounding, Salaun is expected to get ample minutes, making her a relevant pick for fantasy managers looking for upside.

Struggles on the Court

On the other side, Brittney Griner of the Atlanta Dream has been facing a tough season. Recently ejected from a game and now dealing with a neck injury, Griner's performance has dipped. Known for her defensive prowess, her absence could significantly impact the Dream's strategy and performance. For fantasy managers, Griner's lower-than-expected stats have been a disappointment, especially considering her high draft position.

Breanna Stewart, while still putting up respectable numbers, hasn't quite met the high expectations set by her previous seasons. Her contributions across points, rebounds, and assists are solid, but they fall short of the elite level fantasy managers anticipated when drafting her early in the season.
