2026 Fantasy Outlook
Brown had a career-best season in her return to the WNBA with the Wings in 2023, averaging 7.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game across 32 appearances (five starts). However, she hasn't had as much playing time over the past two years, averaging 5.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game across 68 regular-season appearances (three starts) between Dallas and Phoenix over the past two years. Brown had trouble maintaining a spot in the Mercury's rotation down the stretch in 2025, and while she remains under contract with Phoenix for the 2026 campaign, her role will depend on what moves the team makes in free agency. Brown could have some productive stretches in 2026 but profiles mainly as a streaming option in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Brown took a significant step during her first season with the Wings in 2023, averaging 7.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game. She appeared to be in line for an even bigger role last year since the Wings dealt with several frontcourt absences, but she regressed slightly, averaging 5.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game. The 28-year-old was traded to the Mercury during the offseason and will join a frontcourt that lost Brittney Griner but acquired Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally while retaining Natasha Mack. Thomas, Sabally and Mack will likely begin the year as starters, while Brown profiles as little more than a streaming candidate if she continues to play primarily off the bench.
Brown made 28 appearances for the Sparks as a rookie in 2019 but totaled just 11 appearances in the WNBA over the next three seasons. She joined the Wings on a training camp contract ahead of the 2023 season but failed to land a spot on the team's initial roster. However, she rejoined the organization on a hardship deal and enjoyed the best year of her career, averaging 7.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game over 32 appearances (five starts). The 26-year-old was an unrestricted free agent this offseason but decided to return to the Wings and could see an uptick in minutes since Awak Kuier will sit out the campaign due to rest purposes and Satou Sabally will miss the first half of the season due to a shoulder injury.
