WNBA Power Rankings: Connecticut Sun take over the top spot

The 2021 WNBA season is less than two weeks old, but we're already seeing teams separate themselves from the rest of the league as title contenders.

The Week 2 Power Rankings showcase offense. The teams that are in the top half of the rankings are scoring (a lot) and winning (a lot).

The Connecticut Sun, the WNBA's only undefeated team, have jumped two spots to supplant the Seattle Storm at No. 1. This is only the second time in franchise history that Connecticut has started 5-0 (2018). The Sun have never won a WNBA title but are now seemingly the favorite.

Many teams still aren't operating at full strength, primarily due to players' overseas commitments and injuries. But the teams that are already making statements are built differently, able to hang big points on opponents while also shutting them down on defense.

While teams like Connecticut and Seattle are thriving, it will be interesting to see if teams that have started to slide can stop the fall. We're looking at you, Los Angeles Sparks and Washington Mystics.

There are some significant moves in Week 2.
