2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith had a breakout campaign with the Sky in 2023, and she maintained her momentum in 2024 after joining the Lynx, posting career-high averages in points (10.2) and assists (3.2) to go with 5.6 rebounds per game. The 28-year-old shot 39.8 percent from beyond the arc, which is more than 10 percent higher than any of her averages earlier in her career, but even if her long-range efficiency regresses in 2025, she contributes enough in other areas to give her a solid floor. The Lynx didn't make significant changes to their roster during the offseason, so Smith should have a chance to maintain her reliable fantasy production this year. Read Past Outlooks
Doubtful for Friday's matchup
FMinnesota Lynx
Quadriceps
May 15, 2025
Smith (quadriceps) is considered doubtful for Friday's regular-season opener against the Wings, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith played 22 minutes in Minnesota's preseason opener but was unavailable for the team's second exhibition game due to a quad injury. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but she'll likely be unavailable for at least one game to begin the regular season. The 28-year-old took on a sizable role in her first year with the Lynx in 2024, averaging 10.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.4 steals in 26.5 minutes per game while starting in all 39 of her regular-season appearances. Once Smith is healthy, she should maintain a significant role, especially since Dorka Juhasz (not injury related) has elected to sit out the 2025 WNBA season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Smith had relatively limited production over her first four seasons in the league but stepped into a prominent role during her first season with the Sky in 2023. The 27-year-old came off the bench in her first three appearances of the year but claimed a starting job when Morgan Bertsch sustained an injury and didn't relinquish that job down the stretch, even when Bertsch was cleared to return. Smith wasn't particularly dominant in any particular area but generally had enough production in the scoring and rebounding columns to generate solid fantasy lines. The 27-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game, all the best marks of her career by a considerable margin. In 2024, she may have to settle for a reserve role in Minnesota since the team has Napheesa Collier, Diamond Miller (knee), Jessica Shepard (ankle) and Dorka Juhasz in the frontcourt, but it's also possible Tiffany Mitchell shifts to the bench. Regardless of her starting status, Smith should still be able to carve out her fair share of playing time with her new team.
Smith logged minimal action for the Mercury in 2021, averaging just 1.2 points and 1.3 rebounds over 6.5 minutes per game. She wasn't a regular part of the rotation but landed a training camp contract with the Fever in February. The 25-year-old will likely have to compete for a roster spot ahead of the 2022 campaign and isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, even if she obtains a roster spot. She'll have a good amount of competition in tow, with the Fever sporting four of the first 10 picks in the 2022 WNBA Draft.
