Kelsey Mitchell

29-Year-Old GuardG
 Indiana Fever  WNBA
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mitchell is one of the league's top scorers, as her 18.2 points per game last season ranked 10th in the WNBA. However, she averaged just 3.1 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 33.7 minutes per game, meaning she's prone to lackluster fantasy results in games where she struggles from the line. The 28-year-old props up her fantasy value with her production from the perimeter, and she made a career-high 2.6 three-pointers per game last year. While Mitchell should continue to be a prolific scorer in 2024, she could see her role decrease slightly if the Fever select Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft. Mitchell is a reliable fantasy option who has appeared in every game in five of her six professional seasons, but she carries slightly more risk than other top options due to her lack of production in secondary categories.

Receives core qualifying offer
GIndiana Fever
January 16, 2025
The Fever extended a core qualifying offer to Mitchell on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell has spent the first seven years of her career in Indiana and has established herself as one of the league's top scorers. Despite playing alongside 2024 Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark in the backcourt last year, Mitchell averaged a career-high 19.2 points to go with 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 32.0 minutes per game across 40 appearances (38 starts) during the regular season. Her core designation isn't particularly surprising, and her qualifying offer will be a fully guaranteed one-year supermax deal while also giving the Fever exclusive negotiating rights with her during the offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
While plenty of high-value targets were on the move this offseason, Mitchell is staying in place as the featured player on a still-young Indiana roster. Her 2022 campaign ended early due to a partial plantar fascia tear in her left foot, causing her to miss the final five games. However, Mitchell still finished as a top-25 fantasy player overall and a top-20 option on a per-game basis in points leagues, averaging 18.4 points, 4.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game. Mitchell draws most of her fantasy intrigue from her scoring ability, and she could fill the scoring role more naturally in 2023 after the Fever reconnected a pure distributor in Erica Wheeler this offseason.
Mitchell took on a leading role for the Fever once again in 2021, and her results remained consistent with 17.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33.1 minutes per game. She also stepped up defensively with a career-high 1.1 steals per game. Although Indiana figures to add several contributors during the offseason since the team has four of the top 10 picks in the 2022 draft, Mitchell's role should be safe as a star for the organization to build around. The 26-year-old hasn't averaged more than 2.6 rebounds or 2.8 assists in any of her first four seasons in the WNBA season, but her consistent scoring ability makes her a fantasy asset. She may be relied on to score more in 2022 with the Fever shipping Teaira McCowan, one of the team's leading scorers from last season, to Dallas.
