RotoWire expert Joe Mayo offers his top WNBA risers and fallers for Week 14, including Dominique Malonga, whose role has been increasing for the Seattle Storm. As the regular season winds down, there are still opportunities to add viable fantasy options amid ongoing injuries and late-season development. Some players are hitting their stride at the right time, while others are losing traction and seeing their roles decline. August 25, 2025 Fantasy WNBA Week 14: Top Risers and Fallers Joe Mayo Top Fantasy WNBA Risers for Week 14 Lexie Hull, Indiana Fever: Hull has provided inconsistent production throughout the 2025 campaign, though she's been trending upward of late. The 25-year-old guard has started five of the Fever's last six games after coming off the bench in late July and early August. During that span, Hull has averaged 10.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.2 steals while shooting 43.3 percent from the field in 33.3 minutes per game. The Stanford product has also posted at least 17 ESPN fantasy points in five of those outings. With Sophie Cunningham (knee) joining Aari McDonald (foot) and Sydney Colson (knee) on the sideline for the remainder of the season, Hull should continue to receive an increased workload -- especially if Caitlin Clark (groin/ankle) remains out for Week 14. Hull's ability to rack up multiple steals per game has been critical to her recent fantasy production, though her efficiency from beyond the arc has also been a positive sign. Dominique Malonga , Seattle Storm: Malonga also appeared on the risers list in Week 11, and her fantasy value has continued to trend upward since. The rookie center remains a key contributor off Seattle's bench and has posted at least 18 ESPN fantasy points in five consecutive appearances, including three straight outings with 28 or more. During that five-game span, Malonga has averaged 14.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 assists while shooting 57.9 percent from the field across 22.8 minutes per game. The 19-year-old may not crack the starting lineup behind Nneka Ogwumike and Ezi Magbegor in the frontcourt, but Malonga has been a double-double threat of late and has also recorded three consecutive games with at least 15 points. The Storm play three games in Week 14, which also boosts the No. 2 overall pick's fantasy outlook. Dana Evans , Las Vegas Aces: Evans has maintained a relatively consistent role off the bench for the Aces this season and has impressed in back-to-back games. The 27-year-old amassed 38 points in 43 total minutes over those two outings, posting 21 and 34 ESPN fantasy points. Evans has also been extremely efficient recently, shooting 58.1 percent from the field and 68.4 percent from beyond the arc across 16.7 minutes per game over her last seven appearances. While her fantasy value remains largely tied to her scoring, the 5-foot-6 guard has proven to be a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues. Evans has averaged 14.7 ESPN fantasy points in that seven-game span, including three outings with at least 17. Key Fantasy WNBA Fallers to Avoid This Week Hailey Van Lith , Chicago Sky: Van Lith has enjoyed several short stretches of increased playing time this season, though she has logged only four total minutes in the Sky's last three matchups. The rookie has struggled with efficiency when on the floor, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over six appearances in August. During that span, she has averaged 2.2 points and 1.7 assists across 11.2 minutes per game. Buried behind Ariel Atkins, who has played in eight straight games following an extended absence, as well as Rachel Banham , Kia Nurse and Sevgi Uzun , Van Lith isn't likely to command significant minutes in the near future. Lexie Brown , Seattle Storm: Brown played a meaningful role off the bench in her five outings following the All-Star break, though she has since been reduced to an emergency depth option. The 30-year-old guard hasn't seen the court in seven of the club's last eight games, logging 12 minutes in a 35-point loss during that span. Brown is now buried on the depth chart and has become the club's third backcourt option off the bench behind Erica Wheeler and Tiffany Mitchell . Even in deeper leagues, Brown's fantasy value is virtually non-existent following the Brittney Sykes trade Aug. 5, which further limited her path to playing time. DiJonai Carrington , Minnesota Lynx: Carrington enjoyed meaningful playing time immediately after being traded to the Lynx on Aug. 3. However, the Baylor product has experienced a recent dip in minutes, logging fewer than 16 in three consecutive outings. During that span, she has averaged just 4.0 points and 1.3 rebounds across 13.0 minutes per game, shooting 36.4 percent from the field on limited attempts. With a deep backcourt group and superstar Napheesa Collier returning from a seven-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, Carrington isn't guaranteed significant minutes. While the 27-year-old guard may still provide a spark off the bench, the Lynx have plenty of mouths to feed on the offensive end. Fantasy WNBA Player to Watch in Week 14 Jessica Shepard , Minnesota Lynx: Shepard started seven consecutive games for Minnesota while Napheesa Collier was sidelined with a sprained right ankle. However, Collier returned to action in Sunday's win over the Fever, during which Shepard went scoreless in just 10 minutes of action. The 28-year-old center was a double-double threat off the bench before her impressive stretch in the starting lineup, so it's too early to draw conclusions from one quiet performance. Shepard has proven to be a solid contributor off the bench, though her playing time will be worth monitoring moving forward.

August 5, 2025 Let's Fantasy Gals - Ep 2 Kelly Singh & Sam Holt SEE MORE ARTICLES & VIDEOS About the Author

Thanks in part to having an expansion team this year, a whopping 22 rookies are averaging at least 10 minutes per game. It would be impossible to discuss all of them, so instead, I have decided to single out the ones I find most interesting, including a few who have struggled for playing time. June 25, 2025 Eight Intriguing Rookies to Watch Steve Pimental In the lead-up to the 2025 WNBA draft, fans and media seemed more focused on who wasn’t in the draft than who was. Several of the top prospects, most notably Olivia Miles, chose to return to college and lucrative NIL deals rather than enter the draft. Since then, however, several rookies have made huge contributions to their new teams. Most of the teams that have exceeded their preseason expectations did so, at least in part, due to the contributions of their rookies. The WNBA schedule is longer than ever, and most of these rookies entered the season after having played a full season in college or overseas. There is a decent chance some of these rookies will hit a wall in the coming weeks and months, which makes now the perfect time to check in on how they have performed and on their outlook for the future. Thanks in part to having an expansion team this year, a whopping 22 rookies are averaging at least 10 minutes per game. It would be impossible to discuss all of them, so instead, I have decided to single out the ones I find most interesting, including a few who have struggled for playing time. Even with so many rookies contributing, some of the most intriguing long-term prospects have played sparingly so far. Paige Bueckers, Guard, Dallas Wings Dallas has struggled this season , but it is difficult to place much of the blame at the feet of Bueckers. Her -0.7 net rating is highest on the team among the nine players who have started at least one game for Dallas. Bueckers leads all rookies in minutes, points, assists, and steals per game. Only two players in the entire league have averaged more steals per game than Bueckers this season. I would like to see her take more than 3.4 threes per game, and she probably needs to have the ball in her hands even more than she already does, but the future looks bright in Dallas. Good players are going to want to play with her, which could be crucial in an offseason where nearly everyone will be a free agent. Sonia Cintron, Guard, Washington Mystics Remember when the Chicago Sky traded the third overall pick (which became Cintron) and a 2027 pick swap to the Mystics so that they could chase the eighth seen for one year with Ariel Atkins? She is unlikely to let Sky fans forget that anytime soon. Cintron has been a revelation for Washington, carrying the offense along with Most-Improved candidate Brittney Sykes. Cintron is second among rookies in minutes and points per game, while ranking third in rebounds and sixth in assists. Behind the play of Cintron and fellow rookie Kiki Iriafen, the Mystics’ rebuild appears to be ahead of schedule. Kiki Iriafen, Forward, Washington Mystics The Mystics arguably have the best young frontcourt in the league with Iriafen and Shakira Austin. Iriafen is fifth in the league in rebounds per game, and she is a big part of why the Mystics are third in the league in rebounding rate. She is shooting just 50 percent from the field, which is pretty low for someone who doesn’t shoot any threes, but I think she’ll get easier shots once the Mystics surround her with more offensive firepower. Dominique Malonga, Center, Seattle Storm Even after Seattle traded Yi Yuerli to the Dallas Wings, Malonga has struggled to find consistent playing time despite outplaying Ezi Magbegor. Malonga is averaging nearly twice as many points per 36 minutes as Seattle’s starting center while shooting more than 10 percentage points better from the field. Seattle is a surprising 9-5 and Magbegor is a free agent after this season, so Malonga will likely have to wait until next season for significant playing time. Until then, she needs to try to cut down on her turnovers and fouls. Malonga is averaging 4.0 turnovers and 5.2 fouls per 36 minutes. Te-Hina Paopao, Guard, Atlanta Dream LFG readers are probably getting sick of me raving about Paopao, but I had to include her on this list for one important reason: her 77.5 true shooting percentage leads the league among players with at least 21 minutes this season. Kennedy Burke is second at 70.9 percent. Paopap is shooting an absurd 57.1 percent on 6.9 threes per 36 minutes. I would like to see her actually get up more threes, and play more minutes, but like Malonga, Paopao is unlike to play a whole lot more while her team is winning. Paopao is fifth among rookies in fantasy points per 36 minutes, which illustrates her productivity when she is on the court. Like most of the rookies in this class, she has to cut down on her turnovers, but at the very least, the 18th overall pick in the draft has proven she is one of the best backup point guards in the league. Lexi Held, Guard, Phoenix Mercury Someday soon, I will take a deep dive into the Mercury and the four rookies averaging more than 20 minutes per game. While their three stars deservedly get most of the credit, this team is third in the standings because all of the unproven role players have exceeded expectations. Held has arguably been the best of the Mercury rookies, averaging 15.2 points per 36 minutes. She picked up the scoring slack at times with Satou Sabally and Kahleah Copper out, but the undrafted rookie out of DePaul has settled into a secondary-playmaking role with the stars back in the lineup. Aneesah Morrow, Forward, Connecticut Sun I find it concernng that Morrow has played just 11.8 mpg despite playing for one of the worst teams in the league. Tina Charles and Oliva Nelson-Ododa are established vets, but getting Morrow on-court reps should be a priority for this rebuilding team. Morrow has averaged 17.0 points and 9.2 rebounds per 36 minutes on 40.4 percent shooting from the field. She appears to be living up to her pre-draft billing as a budget Angel Reese. Hailey Van Lith, Guard, Chicago Sky Speaking of a budget Angel Reese, Van Lith was Chicago’s second pick in the first round of the draft, just like Reese was last season. Also like Reese, Van Lith has struggled from the field, shooting 37.5 percent. Van Lith’s playing time has been wildly inconsistent despite Courtney Vandersloot’s torn ACL. The Sky needed Van Lith to step in for Vandersloot and run a million pick-and-rolls with Reese and Kamilla Cardoso. Instead, Van Lith has come off the bench in every game this season and is averaging just 11.8 points and 3.6 assists per 36 minutes. Until she starts averaging more assists than turnovers, Van Lith isn’t even guaranteed to make it as a backup in this league. She was much better on the ball than off-ball in college, so my hope is that Chicago will give her the ball more once they are officially eliminated from the playoff race. She currently ranks sixth on the team in usage behind Elizabeth Williams and Maddy Westbeld. SEE MORE ARTICLES & VIDEOS About the Author

"A healthy Azura Stevens is the most versatile forward in the W, there I said it!" + more WNBA hot takes... May 30, 2025 Mr. Women's Basketball's Week 3 Hot Takes EJ Arocho 1. PLAY DOMINIQUE MALONGA! While it’s known that Noelle Quinn doesn’t play rookies right away, Malonga is far from your average rook! In 7.6 mpg off the bench, she’s averaging 3.2 ppg & 2.0 rpg, compared to Li Yueru’s 2.0 ppg & 1.6 rpg in 10.4 mpg. With the right balance of minutes between Ezi, Li & Dominique, Seattle might just find the recipe to success and start creating some separation this week in the Western Conference. 2. Liz Kitley IN, Kiah Stokes OUT. Vegas needs production at the 5 and A’ja Wilson needs help. So far, the Aces aren’t finding success with Stokes in the starting rotation. She’s been held scoreless in 4 starts this season. Kitley, on the other hand, has shown glimpses of greatness in her minutes off the bench. 4.3 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 1.0 spg & 1.0 bpg in 9.3 mpg. 3. This week may determine ROY: KiKi Iriafen & Sonia Citron are the frontrunners & one of them could distance herself from the other in Week 3. The Mystics have two games against New York & a game against Indiana. 4. Move Julie Allemand into the starting lineup! She brings undeniable energy and effort. In 15.0 mpg off the bench this season, she’s putting up 3.3 ppg, 1.8 rpg & 1.5 apg. In 29.5 mpg, Odyssey Sims is averting just 4.2 ppg more! I think Allemand more than deserves the starting role at PG, which may benefit everyone and get LA some more wins. Games vs Vegas & Phoenix this week will be very telling. 5. Kamilla Cardoso needs more touches! The offense should be directly flowing through her! If she gets a touch on every possession, she’ll be able to put Chicago in a position to win games… something they desperately need if they want a chance at playing postseason basketball! On the post-entry pass, she can either go up with it or kick out to 3-pt shooters Vandersloot, Atkins, Banham & Nurse. At 6’7”, she draws a lot of attention. Give her the ball & let her go to work! That strategy paid dividends at South Carolina! 6. Get more assertive, Paige! Good things typically happen when PB has the ball in her hands. Having a scoring juggernaut like Arike on your team can be tough to navigate especially as a rookie & not wanting to step on toes, but Paige should take more command and let that ball fly! She’s known for her efficiency, something we saw Tuesday in Dallas’s first win of the season over Connecticut (21 points on 8-10 shooting). We need more of that! 7. Bria Hartley IN, Jacy Sheldon, OUT. Connecticut needs to find the recipe for success & quick! They go into Week 3 winless. With the news of Lindsay Allen’s left hamstring injury (out approx. 2 weeks), CT needs to fix rotations at the guard spot. I think the perfect place to start would be to move Bria into the starting rotation & have Jacy come off the bench. She’s back after a 3-year hiatus & in 20.2 mpg off the bench, looks good! 8.4 mpg & 3.0 apg could see a big increase due to versatility at the guard spot; can play the 1 & the 2 very well. 8. Sydney Colson out, Sophie Cunningham in. While Caitlin Clark remains sidelined with injury, the Fever need a reliable point guard. Cunningham has proven to be that over the past few years, on both sides of the ball. In their loss to Washington on Wednesday, Colson got the start and went 2-7 from the floor to finish with 4 points in 31 minutes. Give Sophie the starting role at PG and let her go to work. 9. A double-double isn’t enough. If Chicago wants to get on the winning track, more efficiency will be needed from their star Angel Reese. Though a dominant force on the glass, her shooting has been abysmal to start off the season. She’s shooting it at a 31% clip, which simply isn’t going to cut it. We saw last year what happened when AR shoots the ball at a higher clip: THEY WIN GAMES. If she can shoot it 50% or better from the field, Chicago wins Saturday vs Dallas. 10. A healthy Azura Stevens is the most versatile forward in the W, there I said it! This is the best she has ever looked in her pro career. She’s currently leading LA in rebounds & blocks while ranking third in points & steals. At 6’6”, nobody plays inside-out basketball as efficiently as she does.

The timing of fantasy sports focusing on women’s sports is perfect. The interest and competitive quality are at peak performance and the legalization is creating even more hype.... July 12, 2025 Find Out Why W/ Paris Smith Paris Smith 1. You were CEO of Pinnacle Sports for 17 years. What was your career trajectory prior to Pinnacle Sports and why were you drawn to gaming? Ironically, politics was the most likely trajectory. My grandfather was a politician, the former governor of North Dakota and I was also drawn to the idea of service of the people because of my exposure growing up with him. The draw to gaming was the newness, when I began in 1995 it was brand new, an industry in its infancy and I loved solving problems and creating everything around it. There was no framework, nothing prior to say "this is how it is done". It was exciting and new. Later in my career with managing people and running companies I always looked at the team as people I was there to serve as well as lead. 2. You succeeded at the highest levels in what many see as a male-dominated industry. Were there any specific challenges you faced because you were a woman CEO and how did you overcome them? At the time, I didn't even think about it, it wasn't until years later I realized I was one of the only women. I always worked for men who respected me and saw the potential I had with hard work. I believe my competitive basketball career really hardened me and created a solid foundation of confidence and resilience. I carried that through my career. I believe being the only woman was always a a strength. I knew how to keep the room in check, my strong personality created a no bull environment and my straight to the point approach resinated with the rest of the room. I never came across as a poor me person, but rather, I have something to say and I appreciate if you listen to it. I am also not afraid to say when i have made mistakes so that bit of humility goes a long way. 3. How do you see the future of fantasy sports dovetailing with the explosion in popularity of women’s sports? The timing of fantasy sports focusing on women’s sports is perfect. The interest and competitive quality are at the peak performance and the legalization is creating even more hype. Women's tennis was superior from a competitive perspective for years, and the volume of betting made that clear, but now with the increased exposure of Soccer/European football, WNBA, Lacrosse, etc.. the interest in betting via fantasy is increased and the acceptability is also there. Fantasy has already proven to be a perfect segway into other contests as we have seen with DraftKings and Fanduel. This gives players the ability to get comfortable with participating in contests in the sport. There have always been a strong amount of female gamers, now it is an increased market segment that needs the attention it deserves.

As a lifelong—at times, borderline obsessive—NBA fan (split loyalties: Warriors and Knicks), I didn’t pay much attention to women’s sports. April 25, 2025 Netflix's Former Head of Content, Todd Yellin, on becoming an LFG Founding Investor Todd S. Yellin As a lifelong—at times, borderline obsessive—NBA fan (split loyalties: Warriors and Knicks), I didn’t pay much attention to women’s sports. Sure, I’d cheer for the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team and admire Serena Williams’ era of dominance, but those moments were rare. Then came a spark: the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend, where Sabrina Ionescu went toe-to-toe with Steph Curry in an electrifying three-point contest. I was floored—she’s an absolute sniper. That was my first real pang of WNBA fandom. And then the Caitlin Clark tsunami hit. Like millions of others, I became a curious rubbernecker. Is she really that good? The answer: a resounding yes. But what caught me off guard was how quickly the entire women’s game drew me in. It’s thrilling, competitive, and—for any basketball junkie—an essential fix during the NBA offseason. The NY Liberty’s epic Finals clash with the Minnesota Lynx sealed it. Suddenly, I found myself wondering: will the NBA season become the bridge between WNBA seasons? As a former longtime Netflix exec and now a filmmaker, I live for great stories—and sports are pure, unscripted drama. As an investor, I also jump at compelling opportunities, which is why I’m all in on LFG. Right now, women’s sports fans don’t have the same tools to follow their favorite teams and players—or to feel part of the action—the way fans of men’s sports do. LFG is changing that. Knowing the founders, I’m confident they’ll build something that unlocks deeper, more exciting ways to engage with the women’s game. I’m loud and proud about it now: I’m a full-on fan. Can’t wait for tip-off. Go Liberty! Go Valkyries! SEE MORE ARTICLES & VIDEOS About the Author Todd S. Yellin is the former Head of Content at Netflix.

While I could have just sat back and enjoyed this game, I decided to take the opportunity to finally take a deep dive into the Las Vegas Aces instead. Unfortunately, the biggest takeaway from this game was Napheesa Collier leaving at the end of the third quarter with an ankle injury... August 3, 2025 What is Wrong with the Aces? Steve Pimental How is it already August? It still feels like the WNBA season just started a few weeks ago. With summer rapidly coming to an end, I was excited to get a chance on Saturday to watch a live WNBA game from start to finish for the first time in forever. That I got to see the two best players in the league, A’ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier, go head-to-head was an added bonus. While I could have just sat back and enjoyed this game, I decided to take the opportunity to finally take a deep dive into the Las Vegas Aces instead. Unfortunately, the biggest takeaway from this game was Napheesa Collier leaving at the end of the third quarter with an ankle injury, but at the time of this writing, we don’t know the severity of the injury. Collier is the clear MVP favorite, and Minnesota obviously needs her healthy for the playoffs, but I think they are deep enough to withstand an injury to Collier for a while. It certainly helps that they are six games up on the second-place Liberty in the standings. Jessica Shepard should join the starting lineup and play significantly more minutes, though Alanna Smith and Maria Kliundikova could get more minutes as well. While Minnesota’s path forward seems relatively clear, the Aces’ situation is far murkier. It probably isn’t fair to judge the Aces based on one game against the best team in the league, especially when that team goes 13-for-14 on threes in the first half. No team is going to look good when the other team doesn’t miss. Of course, Las Vegas had a hand in that by repeatedly leaving Minnesota’s shooters open, especially Kayla McBride. McBride has arguably the quickest shot in the WNBA, but she didn’t need it with how much space she had on her attempts. She could have moved much more slowly and still gotten her shot off. McBride tied a WNBA record with eight made three-pointers in the first half Saturday, but what was most impressive is she did it without a miss. This season, Las Vegas has actually done a good job of defending the three-point line, Saturday’s effort notwithstanding. Only Atlanta and Seattle have allowed fewer three-point attempts per 100 possessions. The tradeoff has been a virtual parade to the basket for opposing teams. Only the last-place Sun have allowed more points in the paint per 100 possessions, and only three teams have a lower defensive rebounding rate. Of course, those things go hand-in-hand. When you get into the paint and draw help, there is usually an offensive player in position for a rebound and often a putback. That being said, the Aces’ problem really hasn’t been on the defensive end. They rank ninth in defensive rating, which is a bit lower than in years past but isn’t terrible. Their defensive rating going into the Minnesota game, 102.6, was nearly identical to their 102.0 defensive rating when they won the championship in 2022. The Aces could get away with an average defense when they were elite on offense, and given their personnel, that was likely always going to be their best path to contention. Unfortunately for Las Vegas, its 102.0 offensive rating is seventh in the league. Coming into this season, they had ranked first or second in offensive rating in five consecutive seasons, during which they had finished no lower than fourth. Watching Las Vegas and Minnesota on Saturday, the contrast in ball movement was staggering. Minnesota was constantly moving on offense, and the ball never stuck in one place very long. The Aces, on the other hand, seemed like they were mostly standing around waiting for one of their stars to make a play. The season-long numbers indicate this was not a one-game fluke. Nearly half of the Aces’ two-point field goals are unassisted. Their 47.2% mark is first in the WNBA by a wide margin. The Golden State Valkyries are second at 41.8 percent. That difference of 5.4 percent is the same margin between the Valkyries in second and the Seattle Storm in 11th. Last year, the Aces still led the league, but at 41.5 percent. Since 2020, they haven’t scored more than 43.7 percent of their two-point field goals unassisted. They simply have to do a better job of moving without the ball and cutting. Their offensive players draw plenty of defensive attention, but the Aces can’t take advantage if everyone is standing around. I was also surprised to see the Aces rank 11th in percentage of points in the paint, nearly tied with the 12th-place Lynx. The difference is the Lynx score more of their points on threes, while the Aces rely more on the midrange. This is probably due in part to Las Vegas’s lack of spacing, but I also just think they need to do a better job getting all the way to the basket. A’ja Wilson is third in points in the paint per game, but she cannot do it all by herself. Maybe I just can’t let go of the past, but I’m still not giving up on the Aces. I don’t think they can beat the Lynx, but I doubt anyone can. I still think they can match up with just about anyone else, especially since the Liberty, Dream, Mercury, and Fever aren’t exactly running away and hiding. I just think the Aces need to be patient and move the ball more in the halfcourt. I thought in the first half on Saturday the Aces tried to force passes in transition because they didn’t trust their half-court offense, which is how they wound up with eight turnovers in the first half. If they continue to play like that, the Aces are in danger of a first-round playoff exit or missing the playoffs altogether.
