2023 Fantasy Outlook
Shepard didn't have a fantasy-relevant role during her first two seasons in the league but took a step forward last year. She drew her first career starts to begin the regular season, and while she settled for a bench role over a month-long span between June and July, her overall production was much better than it had been in the past. The 26-year-old averaged 8.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.1 minutes per game over 36 appearances (22 starts), and she has a path toward a prominent role in Minnesota's frontcourt now that Sylvia Fowles has retired. That said, Napheesa Collier returns to the fold after missing most of 2022, so Shepard still has some hurdles to clear, but she should still claim a healthy role in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Season cut short with injuries

September 25, 2023
Shepard averaged 8.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.1 assist sand 0.6 steals in 26.9 minutes over 21 games in the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
Shepard tied a career-high in scoring while putting together a strong year when she was on the court, but only appeared in just over half the regular-season games while missing a good chunk of the season due to illness or injuries. Shepard, who is under contract with Minnesota for one more season, has to prove in 2024 she can remain healthy at a position of need for the Lynx.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Shepard played exclusively off the bench in 2021 and averaged just 2.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per game across 22 appearances. While more frontcourt minutes will be available for the Lynx for much of the 2022 campaign with Napheesa Collier slated to miss time due to her pregnancy, Shepard is far from a sure bet to see consistent playing time and would likely need some minutes help to near fantasy consideration in most formats.
