Fantasy WNBA Week 14: Top Risers and Fallers

Fantasy WNBA Week 14: Top Risers and Fallers

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.

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.
