2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
As a rookie in 2022, Engstler averaged a career-high 18.2 minutes per game for the Fever. However, since then, she's played limited roles for Minnesota and Washington, averaging fewer than 15 minutes per game in each of the past three years. While she averaged double-digit minutes during her two years in Washington, her production was modest, and she started only three of her 72 regular-season appearances. This offseason, she was selected in the first round of the 2026 WNBA Expansion Draft by the Fire. Engstler was Portland's fourth pick, and while the team added a few other forwards ahead of the regular season, the prioritization of Engstler in the draft suggests she'll play a major role in 2026. She has a clear path to a career-high campaign in terms of playing time and production, but her overall skill set remains limited, lowering her fantasy ceiling. Read Past Outlooks
Records pair of blocks in home loss
Engstler closed with seven points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 24 minutes during Thursday's 105-89 loss to the Aces.
ANALYSIS
Engstler wasn't particularly effective on the offensive end, but she was top-notch on the defensive side. Engstler recorded two of Portland's three blocks, and she also accounted for six of the team's 18 defensive rebounds. Engstler has posted at least two blocks in three of four June games, as well as eight of her past nine outings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Engstler wasn't able to find much work in 2023, as she was limited to just 12 appearances with the Lynx on a hardship contract. She earned a spot on Washington's Opening Night roster but wasn't part of the rotation over the first few games of the season. However, she carved out some playing time when Aaliyah Edwards and Shakira Austin were dealing with injuries and had some fantasy viability as a streamer for most of the year. Over 32 appearances (three starts), Engstler averaged 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game. Those were some of the best numbers of her career, with most of her production coming after the Olympic break, but the Mystics will likely prioritize Edwards' development this year, which would presumably lead Engstler on the outside looking in when the team is at full health.
