Brittney Griner

Griner spent the 2022 WNBA season wrongfully detained in Russia, but she was finally released in the offseason and is slated to rejoin the Mercury for the 2023 campaign. Griner averaged 20.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 blocks while shooting 57.5 percent from the field in 2021 and has averaged north of 20 points per game in four of her last five WNBA seasons. Assuming the veteran center can return to her previous form, she should claim a starring role again for a Phoenix squad that will be without Skylar Diggins-Smith for at least part of 2023, likely making Griner even more of a fantasy factor. Griner is an elite fantasy option in both points and rotisserie leagues, but her value is boosted a bit more in points leagues because she doesn't get downgraded for a lack of steals and three-point production.
