Six weeks into the Swish Appeal fantasy basketball season, Team Nemchock (Eric Nemchock) is still undefeated. Eric’s team survived a close call against Team Draves (Zachary Draves), which enjoyed a career performance from Rhyne Howard and Napheesa Collier’s continued brilliance.

Team Nemchock lost a big part of its success when Sun center Brionna Jones ruptured her Achilles. Jones, whose 37.8 fantasy points per game ranked No. 4 among centers, was playing at an All-Star level for Connecticut, and in Swish Appeal’s fantasy league, each team must have at least one center on its roster, so her injury was a big one for Eric.

The reigning MVP racked up 147.3 fantasy points in three games last week, upping her season average to 48.1, which ranks No. 2 among all WNBA players.
