Fantasy analyst Eric Moody has identified two players for WNBA fantasy lineups to improve 3-point shooting [1, 2].
These recommendations come as scoring levels increase across the league, making perimeter shooting a critical asset for managers looking to maintain a competitive edge in their fantasy matchups [1, 2].
Moody focused on the need for "streamers"—players who can be added quickly to a roster to fill a specific statistical void—to address the lack of long-range production in certain lineups [1, 2]. The strategy targets the current trend of rising offensive output in the WNBA, which has shifted the value of specialized shooters [1, 2].
While the specific players were not detailed in the summary, the guidance emphasizes the importance of agility in roster management. By targeting players who specialize in the 3-point shot, fantasy owners can offset weaknesses in their starting lineups without sacrificing other key categories [1, 2].
Moody said the shift in scoring dynamics necessitates a more aggressive approach to the waiver wire [1, 2]. This approach allows managers to pivot their strategy based on real-time league trends rather than relying solely on season-long projections [1, 2].
“Scoring is up around the WNBA”
The emphasis on 3-point shooting reflects a broader evolution in the WNBA's offensive style. As the league trends toward higher scoring and more frequent perimeter attempts, fantasy basketball strategies are shifting from traditional interior-focused builds to models that prioritize spacing and long-range efficiency.
