WNBA Weekly Update: Clark's Struggles and Sutton's Rise
Explore the latest WNBA trends with Caitlin Clark's recent struggles and Sug Sutton's impressive rise in the league.

WNBA Weekly Performance Review
Caitlin Clark's Ongoing Challenges
Caitlin Clark, the guard for the Indiana Fever, continues to face difficulties in her performance. Despite her high expectations and ADP in fantasy leagues, Clark has been underperforming, particularly in her shooting accuracy. Her struggles are more pronounced on short rest, with a disappointing record of only two successful 3-point attempts out of 29 in games following a single day off. Physical and mental fatigue, along with injuries like her recent groin issue, have compounded her challenges. The Fever's reliance on Aliyah Boston for scoring adds to the complexity of Clark's situation as the team approaches the All-Star game.
Sug Sutton's Impressive Performance
On the brighter side, Sug Sutton of the Washington Mystics has been making significant strides. Sutton has consistently played over 30 minutes and scored more than 25 fantasy points in her last three games. Her ability to contribute across various statistical categories makes her a valuable player in fantasy leagues. Sutton's established role in the Mystics' rotation makes her a must-have for fantasy managers looking for a reliable guard.
Other Notable Players
- DeWanna Bonner: Recently waived by the Fever, Bonner's fantasy value has plummeted. Her departure led to the signing of Aari McDonald, who shows promise with an average of 22.0 fantasy points in just three games earlier this season.
- Erica Wheeler: Despite her inconsistent season, Wheeler's recent performances for the Seattle Storm, including logging 30 or more minutes in four of her last six games, make her a player to watch.
This weekly update provides a snapshot of the dynamic shifts in player performances, helping fantasy managers make informed decisions as the WNBA season progresses.
