"The longest regular season in WNBA history concludes next week. Fantasy leagues will be decided in the coming days, adding to the significance of these final games. Even if your team -- real or fantasy -- isn't contending this deep into the season, there is value in identifying strong finishers around the league. The Connecticut SUN, for instance, have a rising rookie featured in the backcourt section below who could be a top fantasy force for the 2026 campaign."
"Leila Lacan, G, Connecticut Sun (Rostered in 34.5% of ESPN leagues): An awesome finish to her first run in the "W" has the arrow up for Lacan heading into next season. Not only has she shown an ability to score at a top level, but also create for others and get her hands on the ball defensively. The Sun will let her shine down the stretch."
The longest WNBA regular season concludes next week and fantasy leagues will be decided in the coming days. Identifying late-season finishers can produce immediate fantasy value and reveal players with upside for 2026. Individual production trends and matchup metrics guide target decisions. Connecticut Sun rookie Leila Lacan has finished strong, scoring, creating and contributing defensively while the Sun will emphasize her minutes. Odyssey Sims has steadied the Indiana offense amid injuries, offering multi-category contributions even without nightly scoring outbursts. Te-Hina Paopao has risen as an Atlanta creator, though Jordin Canada's return could reduce her role.
