We’ve reached the All-Star break, the unofficial halfway point of the season. This week off should help players dealing with nagging injuries get healthy, and players who were dealing with fatigue to get rested. Presumably, coming out of the break, teams will have more of their primary starters active than they have now. This could eat into the chances for bench players who have been getting extra run, but as we’ve seen all season, there will always be unexpected players stepping up and earning their spot on the fantasy radar. Our job, in this space, is to shine a spotlight on those players. Let’s get to it.
Moriah Jefferson, Minnesota Lynx (49.2% rostered in ESPN leagues): Seriously. Jefferson should be universally rostered by now. She’s been in this space three straight weeks, and continues to put up monster numbers on a nightly basis. She had her first career triple-double last week, and in her last six games is posting star-level stats: 16.7 PPG, 6.3 APG, 3.8 RPG, 2.2 3PG and 1.0 SPG in 30.7 MPG.
Stefanie Dolson, New York Liberty (23.1%): Dolson, known on IG as BigMamaStef, has alternated big and average games for the last few weeks. In her last six games, she has games of 20 points and 7 rebounds, 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks with overall averages of 10.2 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.3 BPG and 1.2 3PG.
Marine Johannes, New York Liberty (18.1%): Johannes moved into the starting lineup six games ago, and in her last five she’s averaged 16.0 PPG, 4.2 3PG, 4.0 APG, 2.2 RPG and 0.8 SPG. She should be an every-game starter in fantasy hoops leagues as long as she’s playing at this level.
Lexie Brown, Los Angeles Sparks (7.3%): Brown has started the last two games in place of Brittney Sykes…
