2026 Fantasy Outlook
After spending the first eight years of her career in Washington, Cloud joined the Mercury in 2024 before being traded to New York ahead of the 2025 campaign. She saw a slight decrease in playing time, averaging below 30 minutes per game for the first time since 2018, and she also averaged 8.5 field-goal attempts per game after back-to-back years with double-digit averages. However, she still generated 10.1 points per game, her fourth consecutive double-digit average, while remaining consistent in most other categories, although her average of 5.1 assists per game was her lowest mark since 2018. Cloud was an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026 season and went unsigned until after the preseason, when she inked a deal with Chicago, where she'll join fellow veteran guards Skylar Diggins and Courtney Vandersloot. Cloud still has fantasy upside, but she was somewhat inconsistent during her time with the Liberty and will attempt to bounce back in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Downgraded to questionable

Illness
May 29, 2026
Cloud (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota, WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland reports.
ANALYSIS
Cloud was a late addition to a growing injury report. If she's unable to play, the Sky would likely lean more on Jacy Sheldon, Sydney Taylor and Rachel Banham.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
2022
Cloud was traded to the Mercury for the 2024 season after spending the first eight years of her career in Washington, but her production remained steady with her new team despite playing alongside scoring threats like Diana Taurasi and Kahleah Copper. Cloud averaged 11.5 points, 6.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 33.3 minutes per game but was on the move during the offseason, as she was initially traded to the Sun before being moved to New York. Cloud should have a chance to remain productive with her new team after Courtney Vandersloot signed with the Sky. While the 33-year-old Cloud will be playing for the defending champions, she has slightly more scoring upside than Vandersloot while also offering decent production as a passer. Cloud had a successful season in Phoenix and should have plenty of opportunities in New York, making her an intriguing mid-round fantasy option.
Cloud has been one of the better point guards in the WNBA over the last few seasons. She set a new career-high mark with 12.7 points per game in 2023 while adding 3.7 rebounds (also a career best), 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals. While the veteran shot just 37.7 percent from the floor -- her lowest mark since 2017 -- she was among the league's best free-throw shooters, knocking down 3.4 makes per game at a 90.0 percent clip. The 32-year-old suggested during the offseason that she was open to leaving the Mystics, and she signed a two-year deal with Phoenix at the beginning of February. Cloud's scoring marks have improved over the past two seasons, and she should have plenty of opportunities to rack up assists as part of a Mercury lineup that includes Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, Kahleah Copper and Rebecca Allen. Cloud is unlikely to be the primary option for field-goal attempts with her new club, but she'll likely continue to have enough well-rounded production to make her a solid fantasy option with top-40 upside.
Despite entering her age-30 season in 2022, Cloud emerged with the best campaign of her career, finishing with career-high outputs in points (10.7), and assists (7.0) per game while matching her best rebound total (3.6 per game). She's set to claim a similar role on the ball for the Mystics in 2023. She's expected to be joined by veteran Kristi Toliver, who indicated she intends to sign with the club this offseason, but there's little doubt Cloud will serve as the team's primary ball handler. She wasn't particularly efficient from the field (39.9 percent) or from deep (31.9 percent), so she may be primarily viewed as a facilitator in 2023, but she produces enough to warrant a mid-round pick in standard points formats.
After sitting out the 2020 season along with many of her teammates, Cloud was back in full force as a facilitator of the offense last year. She churned out 6.4 assists per game on the campaign, second to only Courtney Vandersloot's 8.6 per contest. Cloud's output as a scorer certainly has some room for improvement too. While she did finish the year with a career-best 83.6 percent conversion rate from the line, she also hit just 27.4 percent of her shots from deep after making at least 32.6 percent in each of the last two campaigns. Cloud's struggles in the scoring department highlight her biggest fantasy weakness, limiting her overall upside.
