2025 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards was the sixth overall pick by the Mystics in 2024 after a collegiate career at UConn in which most of her production came during her junior and senior seasons. Even though the Mystics were playing without Elena Delle Donne last year after she stepped away from basketball, Edwards had an inconsistent role as a rookie, starting in just 17 of her 34 appearances before an ankle injury forced her to miss the final three games of the year. The 22-year-old averaged 7.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per game and tended to be an inconsistent fantasy option who rarely showcased much upside. Edwards looked healthy during the offseason while playing in the Unrivaled women's basketball league, but she could have trouble carving out significantly more work in the WNBA this year if Shakira Austin, Stefanie Dolson and Kiki Iriafen are all fully available.

Plays well in debut

May 27, 2025
Edwards ended Sunday's 68-62 loss to the Mercury with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 15 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Edwards shook off a probable tag heading into Sunday's contest and ended up putting together a solid line in her season debut -- she was previously battling a back injury. Going forward, Edwards figures to play a key role for Washington this season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Edwards, the No. 6 pick in the WNBA Draft, spent four seasons at UConn but didn't start to shine until her junior and senior years. She averaged 17.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.4 minutes in 2023-24, demonstrating a solid low-post game. However, she doesn't have three-point range and struggled at the free-throw line (59.3 percent during her collegiate career). With Elena Delle Donne stepping away from basketball, there's a large opening in the Mystics frontcourt rotation for Edwards to fill. However, Ariel Atkins, Shakira Austin, Myisha Hines-Allen and Queen Egbo will also be factors after playing solid roles last season. Washington also added Stefanie Dolson in case Austin misses the start of 2024 after undergoing hip surgery last winter. Rookies aren't guaranteed anything in the WNBA, but Edwards has higher upside than most of the Mystics' veteran frontcourt players and should get a chance to establish herself at some point.
