Marina Mabrey crashes ESPN Fantasy’s WNBA top 10

Marina Mabrey made the loudest move in ESPN Fantasy’s latest women’s basketball rankings, jumping 21 places to land at No. 10 as the WNBA reaches its All-Star break.

ESPN Fantasy released the updated top 100 on July 14, 2026, with All-Star names packed near the front and a few fast climbers elbowing their way into the fantasy conversation.

A’ja Wilson sits at No. 1 in the rankings, followed by Caitlin Clark at No. 2, Breanna Stewart at No. 3 and Aliyah Boston at No. 4. Paige Bueckers rounds out the top five after moving up seven spots, according to ESPN Fantasy.

The ranking mirrors the league’s All-Star spotlight in one clear way: ESPN Fantasy noted that Wilson, Clark, Stewart, Boston and Bueckers are All-Star Game starters and also appear near the top of its fantasy board.

Mabrey leads the risers

Mabrey, listed as a guard for TOR, is the headline mover. Her 21-place climb puts her one spot behind Olivia Miles, who rose 13 places to No. 9, and just ahead of Natasha Howard, who moved up seven places to No. 11.

ESPN Fantasy pointed to several players whose recent play has pushed them upward over the past month. Along with Mabrey, the outlet named Nia Coffey, Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Awa Fam as players who have climbed sharply.

Fam, a center for SEA, made one of the biggest jumps on the board, moving up 35 spots to No. 47. Coffey, a forward for MIN, rose 29 spots to No. 50. Nelson-Ododa, listed as a forward-center for CON, climbed 22 spots to No. 64.

Kahleah Copper also kept moving in the right direction. ESPN Fantasy has the PHX guard at No. 24 after an 11-spot rise.
