Brittney Sykes

31-Year-Old GuardG
 Washington Mystics  WNBA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sykes had a career-best season while debuting with the Mystics in 2023, but she struggled with injuries in 2024 and couldn't develop a rhythm on the stat sheet. She averaged just 23.4 minutes per game -- her lowest mark since 2018 -- and racked up 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game over 18 regular-season appearances. The 31-year-old still showcased some fantasy upside when healthy, so it wouldn't be surprising to see her bounce back in 2025, especially if Elena Delle Donne isn't back with the team. Sykes is capable of contributing on both sides of the ball, and she should have ample opportunities to make an impact if she can stay healthy this year. Read Past Outlooks
Subpar scoring display in return
GWashington Mystics
June 28, 2025
Sykes delivered six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, and a steal across 26 minutes in Saturday's 79-71 loss to the Wings.
ANALYSIS
Sykes returned to action this Saturday after missing the Mystics' last two games due to a right leg injury, but she managed to log a decent workload in this contest. Even though this performance was subpar, Sykes has been remarkably consistent on offense all season long, so she should be able to bounce back when the Mystics face the Lynx on Thursday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Sykes served mainly as a starter during her time in Atlanta and Los Angeles but served exclusively as a starter during her first season with the Mystics last year and took a significant step forward. She averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.1 steals in 31.3 minutes per game, all career-best marks. While the 30-year-old attempts fewer three-pointers than some other guards in the league, she bolsters her fantasy value through her consistent defensive production. Sykes has stayed on the court consistently for most of her career, as she's missed just five games over the past five seasons. This was always an appealing point for fantasy managers, and it was encouraging to see her appear in every game last year amid her increased role in Washington. Sykes was a reliable fantasy contributor with the Mystics last year and could take another step in 2024 since Natasha Cloud is now in Phoenix and Elena Delle Donne has decided to step away from basketball.
Sykes posted a career campaign in 2022, compiling her best efforts in assists (3.7), steals (2.0) and blocks (0.7) while falling just short on points (12.7). A handful of missed games impeded an even better season, but an outburst over the final eight games (averaging 20.1 points) also buoyed her campaign. Sykes signed with Washington this offseason, joining a backcourt featuring Natasha Cloud and Ariel Atkins. While her new squad is better than what Los Angeles ran out nightly last season, it also downgrades her fantasy context. Sykes' increased scoring production came on 11.0 shot attempts per game, her highest mark since her rookie season in 2017. The Sparks also relied on Sykes as a ball handler in 2022, which is unlikely to repeat with Cloud, an elite distributor, at point guard. The outcomes that led to Sykes' fantasy upgrade in 2022 don't seem sustainable, but she's a reliable defensive counterpart in rotisserie leagues.
Sykes played 32 games for the Sparks during the 2021 campaign and averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals in 29.3 minutes per game. Los Angeles dealt with numerous injuries during the campaign, which allowed the fifth-year wing to start the final 18 games of the season. However, her production remained equivalent to when she was coming off the bench. A healthy Nneka Ogwumike and the addition of Chennedy Carter could reduce Sykes' role, but she figures to be a core depth piece for the Sparks during the 2022 campaign.
