2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a stellar rookie season in 2022, Howard has failed to take her game to the next level in back-to-back seasons. However, the 2022 No. 1 overall pick remains an elite producer, averaging at least 16 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers per game in each of her first three WNBA seasons. Atlanta added Brionna Jones and swapped Tina Charles for Brittney Griner this offseason while retaining Jordin Canada and Allisha Gray. After back-to-back first-round exits, the revamped Dream have high hopes for 2025, but Howard will have to take a leap into superstardom if they're going to achieve their lofty goals. She certainly has the potential to return first-round value, but her lack of statistical progression makes her a safer option in the second or third rounds of fantasy drafts. Read Past Outlooks

Won't return in July
Howard (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of July, and there's no clear timeline for her return to game action, Khristina Williams of MSG Network reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Howard sustained a left knee injury in Friday's loss to Indiana and was carried off the court with what the team labeled a hyperextended knee. Although she managed to finish Friday's game, the 25-year-old didn't suit up in Sunday's loss to the Liberty. Now, the star is set to miss at least the next six games, though she is expected to make a full recovery. Maya Caldwell, Nia Coffey, Naz Hillmon and Te-Hina Paopao are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Howard being sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Howard impressed during her rookie season after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, and she improved in most areas in 2023. The 23-year-old averaged 17.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 32.9 minutes per game over 39 appearances, all improvements from the 2022 campaign. While she also improved slightly by shooting 38.5 percent from the field, she converted 44.0 percent of her field-goal attempts over her four seasons at Kentucky and will be able to take another step in her professional career if she can shoot closer to that mark in 2024. The Dream improved in 2023 and qualified for the playoffs behind efforts from Howard, Allisha Gray and Cheyenne Parker, but Howard should have every opportunity to remain the focal point for the team next season, even after the Dream brought in Tina Charles during the offseason. Howard has posted just two double-doubles over her first two seasons in the league but generates well-rounded stat lines consistently. She's lived up to her lofty expectations early in her career and could take another step forward in 2024.
