2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mitchell is one of the league's top scorers, as her 18.2 points per game last season ranked 10th in the WNBA. However, she averaged just 3.1 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 33.7 minutes per game, meaning she's prone to lackluster fantasy results in games where she struggles from the line. The 28-year-old props up her fantasy value with her production from the perimeter, and she made a career-high 2.6 three-pointers per game last year. While Mitchell should continue to be a prolific scorer in 2024, she could see her role decrease slightly if the Fever select Caitlin Clark with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft. Mitchell is a reliable fantasy option who has appeared in every game in five of her six professional seasons, but she carries slightly more risk than other top options due to her lack of production in secondary categories.

Struggles with shot in playoff exit
GIndiana Fever
September 26, 2024
Mitchell supplied 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 87-81 loss to the Sun.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell played the entirety of the Game 2 loss as she struggled to hit shots at an efficient rate. The All-Star has been one of the club's top options alongside Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston this season, and Mitchell averaged a career-high 19.2 points while shooting a career-best 46.8 percent from the field over 40 regular-season appearances (38 starts). The seven-year Fever veteran produced a decent series against a tough Sun defense, amassing 38 points, eight assists and six rebounds across 77 minutes. She's slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and she should provide reliable scoring production wherever she ends up for the 2025 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
While plenty of high-value targets were on the move this offseason, Mitchell is staying in place as the featured player on a still-young Indiana roster. Her 2022 campaign ended early due to a partial plantar fascia tear in her left foot, causing her to miss the final five games. However, Mitchell still finished as a top-25 fantasy player overall and a top-20 option on a per-game basis in points leagues, averaging 18.4 points, 4.2 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game. Mitchell draws most of her fantasy intrigue from her scoring ability, and she could fill the scoring role more naturally in 2023 after the Fever reconnected a pure distributor in Erica Wheeler this offseason.
Mitchell took on a leading role for the Fever once again in 2021, and her results remained consistent with 17.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33.1 minutes per game. She also stepped up defensively with a career-high 1.1 steals per game. Although Indiana figures to add several contributors during the offseason since the team has four of the top 10 picks in the 2022 draft, Mitchell's role should be safe as a star for the organization to build around. The 26-year-old hasn't averaged more than 2.6 rebounds or 2.8 assists in any of her first four seasons in the WNBA season, but her consistent scoring ability makes her a fantasy asset. She may be relied on to score more in 2022 with the Fever shipping Teaira McCowan, one of the team's leading scorers from last season, to Dallas.
