2024 Fantasy Outlook
Carleton will play for the Lynx for a sixth consecutive season in 2024 after signing a two-year deal with the team during the offseason. However, after a career-best season in 2020, her role has declined over the past three years. The 26-year-old started in just four of her 38 appearances last year, averaging 15.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game, all her lowest marks since 2019. Carleton is still capable of encouraging performances, but she has an inconsistent role on a team that features several young contributors. The Lynx made several notable offseason acquisitions, including Courtney Williams, Natisha Hiedeman and Alanna Smith, so Carleton profiles more as a streaming option than as a reliable season-long contributor.

Returning to Minnesota
FMinnesota Lynx
January 31, 2024
Carleton will re-sign with the Lynx on a two-year deal when free agency opens Thursday, Rachel Galligan of Winsidr.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Carleton has spent the past five seasons with Minnesota and will remain with the team for two more years despite becoming a free agent ahead of the 2024 campaign. She's operated mainly as a reserve over the past two seasons, and she averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game over 38 appearances (four starts) in 2023. The 26-year-old has some DFS and streaming value but has been too inconsistent to be considered a viable season-long fantasy option.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Carleton re-signed with the Lynx this offseason and will spend a fifth straight season in Minnesota. She operated as a regular starter in 2020 and posted 6.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 25.8 minutes across 22 appearances (15 starts), but she's seen her role reduced in back-to-back campaigns. The Lynx retained the majority of their roster and signed Tiffany Mitchell this offseason, so barring injuries, there's currently no clear path for Carleton to get back into the starting lineup on a regular basis. If she's relegated to a reserve role again, it's safe to presume she'll finish well outside the top 50 overall fantasy producers in 2023.
Carleton has started double-digit games in each of the last two seasons but played primarily off the bench during 2021. Regardless of her starting status, she could not generate meaningful production last year en route to shooting just 40.1 percent from the floor. She doesn't generally prop up her fantasy output in secondary categories, averaging just 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in addition to her 4.3 points per game last year. Carleton played double-digit minutes in all but one of her appearances in 2021, but she scored in double figures just three times. She's in line for a bench role to begin the 2021 campaign and may be facing an uphill battle for fantasy relevance.
