Aerial Powers

Powers endured injury-plagued seasons in 2020 and 2021 but appeared in all but one of Minnesota's games last year and started in 31 of her 35 appearances. She responded by averaging 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 26.9 minutes per game, all career-best marks over a full season. The Lynx didn't make significant additions on the wing during the offseason, and she should be one of the focal points for the team if she can stay healthy in 2023. Fantasy managers should exercise some caution given her injury history, but her upside was on display in 2022

Powers endured another injury-plagued season in 2021, as she missed five games with a hamstring injury early in the year before thumb surgery in mid-June sidelined her for just over two months. Powers' production has never been a major issue, given her consistent scoring ability while pitching in contributions in both rebounds and assists. Across her 14 appearances (seven starts) last year, she averaged 13.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 13.4 minutes per game. The knock against Powers has been her availability. She has played 30 or more games just twice through her first seven WNBA seasons. Entering her age-28 season, she's healthy and should continue to have a prominent role in the frontcourt alongside Sylvia Fowles. Unfortunately, Powers' fantasy value hinges on her ability to stay healthy.
