2024 Fantasy Outlook
Powers averaged 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 24.6 minutes per game over the four seasons leading up to the 2023 campaign, and she started a career-high 31 games in 2022. However, she saw her role drastically decline last year, as she averaged just 5.2 points in 9.8 minutes per game while playing exclusively off the bench in her 20 appearances. The 30-year-old fell out of Minnesota's rotation at times but publicly said on Twitter in August that she planned to sign elsewhere as a free agent during the offseason. Powers has proven to be capable of handling substantial playing time, and she'll attempt to bounce back on a short-term deal with Atlanta. She can provide fairly well-rounded fantasy production when given ample playing time, making her an intriguing upside option in drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Set to join Atlanta
FAtlanta Dream
January 31, 2024
Powers is expected to sign a one-year, $155,000 contract with the Dream when free agency opens Thursday, Khristina Williams of MSG Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Powers played a prominent role during her first two seasons with the Lynx in 2021 and 2022, averaging 13.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 24.5 minutes per game. However, she was an inconsistent part of the team's rotation last year, and she publicly expressed her intent to sign with another team as a free agent. The 30-year-old will attempt to bounce back on a short-term deal with Atlanta, and she's proven that she can provide fairly well-rounded fantasy production when given ample playing time.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Powers endured injury-plagued seasons in 2020 and 2021 but appeared in all but one of Minnesota's games last year and started in 31 of her 35 appearances. She responded by averaging 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 26.9 minutes per game, all career-best marks over a full season. The Lynx didn't make significant additions on the wing during the offseason, and she should be one of the focal points for the team if she can stay healthy in 2023. Fantasy managers should exercise some caution given her injury history, but her upside was on display in 2022
Powers endured another injury-plagued season in 2021, as she missed five games with a hamstring injury early in the year before thumb surgery in mid-June sidelined her for just over two months. Powers' production has never been a major issue, given her consistent scoring ability while pitching in contributions in both rebounds and assists. Across her 14 appearances (seven starts) last year, she averaged 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 13.4 minutes per game. The knock against Powers has been her availability. She has played 30 or more games just twice through her first seven WNBA seasons. Entering her age-28 season, she's healthy and should continue to have a prominent role in the frontcourt alongside Sylvia Fowles. Unfortunately, Powers' fantasy value hinges on her ability to stay healthy.
