2026 Fantasy Outlook
After a promising rookie season in 2022, Austin struggled mightily with injuries in 2023 and 2024, totaling only 31 appearances in two seasons. However, she bounced back in 2025, making a career-high 38 appearances, posting her best season-long averages in points (12.7), assists (1.8), steals (1.1) and blocks (1.1) per game. When healthy, Austin has always been a force in fantasy, but her availability has been far from a guarantee. With a full offseason under her belt, expectations are high for Austin, who'll play an integral part for a Mystics team looking to compete in 2026 after strong rookie seasons from Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. Despite not shooting a ton of three-pointers, Austin is a high-upside player who'll likely be taken early in fantasy, but she'll be a risky pick on draft day. Read Past Outlooks
Good for eight points
Austin provided eight points (3-12 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 30 minutes during Sunday's 86-64 loss to the Liberty.
ANALYSIS
Austin struggled with field-goal efficiency in the road loss, but she tied a team high with six rebounds and led all starters with four assists. There weren't many bright spots in a 22-point loss, but Austin at least gave her fantasy managers some decent production. She also had one of the team's three blocks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Austin had an encouraging rookie year in 2022 while starting in 32 of 36 appearances, but she's struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, which has diminished her fantasy value. She underwent hip surgery in December of 2023, and although she was available for the start of the 2024 regular season, she struggled with hip and ankle issues throughout the year and usually had her playing time monitored when she was available. Despite her limited minutes, Austin put up strong fantasy production when on the court, averaging 11.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game over 12 appearances. She played in Unrivaled over the winter and should provide plenty of fantasy value if she's fully healthy for the WNBA season in 2025, especially since Elena Delle Donne seems unlikely to rejoin the team.
