2025 Fantasy Outlook
Howard missed 12 games due to a foot injury early in 2024, but when healthy, she was a bright spot for a Wings team that struggled for most of the year. Over 27 appearances, she averaged 17.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and a career-high 2.9 assists in 30.6 minutes per game. However, she explored other options in free agency and will be a member of the Fever in 2025. The 33-year-old was drafted fifth overall by Indiana in 2014 and will join an up-and-coming team that retained Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell while adding DeWanna Bonner during the offseason. Howard succeeded while playing alongside multiple stars in Dallas, and she should remain productive with her new team. Read Past Outlooks
Huge outburst in road win
FIndiana Fever
May 22, 2025
Howard tallied 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Thursday's 81-76 victory over the Dream.
ANALYSIS
Howard led the Fever in scoring on a night that Caitlin Clark was unable to get going on the offensive end (11 points). This was an impressive bounce-back performance for Howard, who was held to six points in 29 minutes Tuesday, also against Atlanta. The 33-year-old also recorded her first made three-pointer of the campaign, an area where she's unlikely to contribute much, considering she averaged 0.4 made triples over 27 regular-season appearances a year ago.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Howard was traded from the Liberty to the Wings before the 2023 season, leading to some questions regarding how she'd fit in alongside stars like Arike Ogunbowale, Satou Sabally and Teaira McCowan. However, Howard carved out a prominent role with her new team and played a career-high 33.1 minutes per game. She had some of the best results of her career, averaging 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists while making 39 appearances. The 32-year-old's shooting efficiency declined slightly last season, but her scoring mark was the second-highest of her career. Satou Sabally re-signed with the Wings during the offseason, but Howard has proven that she can generate substantial production. Howard has appeared in all but one game in each of the past two seasons, and fantasy managers should have few reservations about selecting her in the early rounds of drafts.
Howard joined the parade of players changing teams this offseason, being dealt from the Liberty to the Wings as part of a three-team trade. Howard joins a much more formidable unit in Dallas, featuring the likes of Teaira McCowan, Satou Sabally and Diamond DeShields, though DeShields will miss a chunk of the season due to a knee injury. Howard may not have the same free reign in Dallas, but she should claim a significant share of the usage coming off another impressive campaign in 2022 that saw her rank in the top 10 overall in points leagues and the top 15 on a per-game basis, doing most of her damage in the scoring column (15.1 points per game) and on the glass (7.3 rebounds), adding 2.3 blocks-plus-steals to her line on the defensive end.
Howard missed over half of the 2021 campaign due to a knee injury, but she still finished her first season with New York as the team's leading rebounder (7.2 per game) and second-leading scorer (16.2 per game). Now healthy, the 6-foot-3 center figures to be a force in the paint for the Liberty and should be one of the team's major producers throughout the 2022 season. The addition of Stefanie Dolson may cut into Howard's overall usage slightly, but it's possible the Liberty opt to play both bigs at the same time, which could work considering they both can stretch the floor.
