2025 Fantasy Outlook
Samuelson struggled to find a consistent role early in her career, but she's appeared in 63 games across the last two seasons while putting together solid production for the Sparks and Mystics. Over 29 appearances (19 starts) for Washington last year, she averaged 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 24.6 minutes per game, which made her a fairly consistent fantasy option. However, Samuelson lost out on her starting job over the final few months of the season, and she was traded to the Lynx in mid-April. It's unlikely that she'll be able to carve out as much playing time with her new team, and she'll likely have to settle for a bench role behind Napheesa Collier and Bridget Carleton. Samuelson's production over the last two seasons made her an intriguing late-round fantasy option, but she profiles more as a streaming candidate ahead of the 2025 campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Not playing Thursday
GMinnesota Lynx
Foot
July 2, 2025
Samuelson (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mystics, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Samuelson suffered a foot injury during the Lynx's 102-63 win over the Sun on Sunday. She'll be held out of Thursday's contest, and her next chance to see the floor is Saturday against the Valkyries. Diamond Miller and Natisha Hiedeman should see an uptick in playing time for as long as Samuelson is sidelined.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Samuelson didn't make more than 20 appearances in a season across her first four years in the league, but she had a career-best season in 2023 since the Sparks were dealing with several absences. Samuelson made 34 appearances (23 starts) and averaged 7.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.1 minutes per game. She shot 42.6 percent from beyond the arc on 3.4 attempts per game, which ranked third in the league among players who had at least 3.0 attempts per game. She's proven to have the talent to be a fantasy-relevant option, and she signed with the Mystics over the offseason -- a team in need of perimeter shooting. That could bode well for her fantasy upside.
