WNBA Single-Stat on DraftKings — Lineup Simulator
Single-Stat is DraftKings' points-only (or rebounds-only, or assists-only) contest format — every player scores only their real-game count in one stat category, and lineups optimize a single dimension. The compressed scoring rule makes ceilings blockier and correlation still matters, just in a narrower way. On DraftKings, Single-Stat for WNBA runs on the standard cap-based roster.

The Single-Stat format, explained
A Single-Stat contest lists the exact stat being counted in the slate name (Points Only, Rebounds Only, etc.), sets a salary cap over a compressed player pool, and scores every roster spot by that one stat with no multipliers. Rosters are typically 6–8 players. NBA and WNBA offer the widest catalogue; NHL and MLB run smaller Single-Stat catalogues around specific stat categories like shots-on-goal and total-bases.
Why simulate WNBA Single-Stat on DraftKings
Single-Stat compresses the scoring dimensions but AMPLIFIES ownership dynamics — a slate where every entrant is optimizing one stat has fewer viable player subsets than a full-scoring slate, so the field converges quickly and leverage-from-variance is the tournament path. The simulator's per-stat projection edits let you re-anchor projections around the specific stat category without rebuilding the whole slate config.
Sport angle. On small WNBA slates most entrants share the same core, so tournaments are won at the margins of the last two roster spots. Simulating the slate surfaces which mid-priced players' scoring distributions overlap the stars' — the spots where being different costs the least equity.
Site angle. DraftKings' full-PPR scoring inflates receiver ceilings dramatically — the same projection on DK vs FD produces very different lineups because PPR pulls WR/TE up the ceiling ladder. DFS Simulator's per-site scoring engine reweights the distribution accordingly, so a projection loaded once feeds honest DK-specific and FD-specific ceilings without manual re-entry.
Reusing your classic projections without collapsing them to the single stat produces lineups full of players whose overall projection is inflated by categories that don't count — always re-anchor around the single stat's distribution.
