2026 Fantasy Outlook
The 2022 No. 1 overall pick's stats have looked eerily similar over the past three seasons, though she set career highs in both assists (4.6) and three-pointers made (3.1 on 32.2 percent shooting) per game in 2025. Howard has been the definition of consistency for Atlanta and has produced on both ends of the floor, earning All-Defensive Second Team honors last season. She was a restricted free agent during the offseason and will be one of several key players to remain with the Dream for the 2026 campaign. Although the team lost Brittney Griner to Connecticut, Atlanta traded for Angel Reese, who should provide a boost alongside Howard in the frontcourt. Read Past Outlooks
Drops 21 points in win
GAtlanta Dream
May 24, 2026
Howard had 21 points (7-15 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes in Sunday's 82-80 win over the Mercury.
ANALYSIS
Although she was unable to stuff the stat sheet like she did in Friday's win over Dallas, Howard still turned in an efficient performance on the offensive end and finished with a game-high 21 points. The star wing also led all players in triples made and was second on the Dream in rebounds, setting a new season high in boards. She's now averaging 18.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 35.9 minutes per game across four regular-season appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
After a stellar rookie season in 2022, Howard has failed to take her game to the next level in back-to-back seasons. However, the 2022 No. 1 overall pick remains an elite producer, averaging at least 16 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers per game in each of her first three WNBA seasons. Atlanta added Brionna Jones and swapped Tina Charles for Brittney Griner this offseason while retaining Jordin Canada and Allisha Gray. After back-to-back first-round exits, the revamped Dream have high hopes for 2025, but Howard will have to take a leap into superstardom if they're going to achieve their lofty goals. She certainly has the potential to return first-round value, but her lack of statistical progression makes her a safer option in the second or third rounds of fantasy drafts.
Howard impressed during her rookie season after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, and she improved in most areas in 2023. The 23-year-old averaged 17.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 32.9 minutes per game over 39 appearances, all improvements from the 2022 campaign. While she also improved slightly by shooting 38.5 percent from the field, she converted 44.0 percent of her field-goal attempts over her four seasons at Kentucky and will be able to take another step in her professional career if she can shoot closer to that mark in 2024. The Dream improved in 2023 and qualified for the playoffs behind efforts from Howard, Allisha Gray and Cheyenne Parker, but Howard should have every opportunity to remain the focal point for the team next season, even after the Dream brought in Tina Charles during the offseason. Howard has posted just two double-doubles over her first two seasons in the league but generates well-rounded stat lines consistently. She's lived up to her lofty expectations early in her career and could take another step forward in 2024.
There's a reason Howard went No. 1 in the 2022 WNBA Draft, and she proved worthy of the selection with her play as a rookie. Howard contributed across the board over 36 games, finishing the season as a top-20 fantasy player in almost any fantasy format and a top-10 option in points leagues. Howard's primary drawback was her efficiency from the field, converting just 36.1 percent of her shots. While that can hold back her value in eight- and nine-category rotisserie formats, it doesn't factor into most points leagues, hence the upgrade in value. Howard closed the season averaging 19.4 points, 4.7 boards, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks over the last 11 games and should prove one of the premier fantasy options in 2023.
