The ESPN fantasy women's basketball playoffs are here in standard leagues, and that brings another update to the rankings. The top three of A'ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark and Breanna Stewart remains the same, while a pair of Minnesota Lynx move into the top five. Napheesa Collier and Olivia Miles of the WNBA-best Lynx reside in the top five of the rest-of-season rankings.
Reminder for those in standard leagues, the semifinals will run for two weeks from August 10-23, and then the finals will start of August 24 before taking a hiatus for the FIBA Women's World Cup. The WNBA returns to action from Sept. 17 through the end of the season. Rankings are based on head-to-head points from publish date until the end of the season.
Here is the scoring system for the game:
Point = 1 Fantasy point (FP) (e.g. a 2-point shot = 2 FP)
Rebound = 1 FP
Assist = 1 FP
Made 3-pointer = 1 FP (e.g. a 3-point shot = 3 FP + 1 bonus FP = 4 total FP)
Steal = 2 FP
Block = 2 FP
