2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hayes announced her retirement after the 2023 campaign following a career that included 10 seasons in Atlanta and one in Connecticut. However, she ended her retirement in late May to join a contender in the Aces, and she was rewarded with Sixth Player of the Year honors after averaging 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 21.5 minutes per game while coming off the bench in 28 of 33 regular-season appearances. The 35-year-old plans to continue her career in 2025, as she signed with the Valkyries during the offseason, and she'll provide a veteran presence in the backcourt alongside several teammates without much WNBA experience. It wouldn't be surprising if Hayes reclaims a role that sees her operate mainly as a starter in 2025, and she'll likely have ample opportunities to generate fantasy production while playing with some unproven WNBA players.

Won't play Friday

Nose
May 22, 2025
Hayes (nose) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sparks, Nathan Canilao of the Bay Area News Group reports.
ANALYSIS
Hayes sustained a nose injury and didn't return during Wednesday's win over the Mystics. The veteran guard isn't with the team, but her next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Liberty. Julie Vanloo, Kate Martin and Veronica Burton are candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Hayes being sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
After spending the last decade in Atlanta, Hayes was shipped to Connecticut in February for the No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft. Her presence fills the void created by the losses of Jasmine Thomas to the Sparks and Courtney Williams to the Sky, so Hayes should have a meaningful role in the Sun's backcourt. In her age-33 season last year, Hayes averaged 16.2 points on an efficient 55/43/68 shooting, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Fantasy managers should be able to draft her with relative confidence. She may even be a draft-day bargain if her her steals (0.7) production and free-throw percentage bounce back.
Hayes sat out the 2020 season but was quite consistent on the scoreboard to begin the 2021 campaign. However, she missed nearly two months in the middle of the season due to a knee injury. She served mainly as a starter after returning to the court for the final month of the season, but she was unable to replicate her consistent results following her return. In spite of her lackluster finish to the year, Hayes' output was consistent with her 2019 results, and her 50.8 eFG% was her highest mark since 2014. Atlanta signed Erica Wheeler and Nia Coffey during the offseason, but Hayes should maintain her starting role in the Dream's backcourt.
