2025 Fantasy Outlook
Coffey averaged north of 20 minutes per game while serving mainly as a starter from 2021 to 2023, but she started in just 11 of her 40 regular-season appearances during her third season with the Dream in 2024. She played a career-low 13.3 minutes per game and averaged 3.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting just 32.7 percent from the floor, which was her lowest mark since her rookie season in 2017. The Dream acquired Brittney Griner, Brionna Jones and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough during the offseason, so it seems unlikely that Coffey will have much fantasy production as long as the team stays relatively healthy in 2025.

Season-best outing in first unit
FAtlanta Dream
May 25, 2025
Coffey finished with 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 79-55 win over the Sun.
ANALYSIS
In her first start of the season Sunday, Coffey effectively established season highs across the board while double-doubling and tying for the team lead in scoring. Coffey briefly left the game with a facial injury but quickly returned, so that doesn't appear to be an issue going forward. If Te-Hina Paopao (face) and Brittney Griner (knee) remain sidelined for Tuesday's tilt against the Sparks, Coffey would be in line to draw another look in the first unit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Coffey served exclusively as a starter in Atlanta for a second consecutive season in 2023, but she missed the final month of the regular season due to a hand injury. It seems likely that she'll be available for the start of the 2024 campaign, but she's now missed significant time to close out the year in three of the past four seasons. Over her 31 appearances last year, the 28-year-old averaged 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 21.9 minutes per game, which put her fantasy output close to what it was in the previous two seasons. Coffey is prone to some lackluster performances, so she hasn't established a fantasy floor, and her upside can be somewhat limited, despite the fact that she posted three double-doubles in 2023. While she should maintain at least a decent amount of playing time in Atlanta in 2024, her role is slightly murkier heading into the season after the team signed Tina Charles and Aerial Powers.
Coffey started all 16 of her appearances last year and averaged 6.4 points and a career-high 5.1 rebounds. She missed 20 of the Dream's final 21 regular-season contests with a knee injury, but she appears to be fine heading into 2023 after agreeing to re-sign this offseason. Atlanta added two starter-level guards - Allisha Gray and Danielle Robinson - to pair with Aari McDonald, who had a breakout season last year, so those three, coupled with Rhyne Howard and Cheyenne Parker, figure to be the Dream's best five. However, that lineup may be too small to start regularly, making Coffey, Naz Hillmon and Monique Billings candidates to start when the Dream face taller lineups. If healthy, Coffey figures to be the favorite among that trio, but barring multiple injuries to the Dream's core, her overall value is expected to remain limited in 2023.
Coffey started 17 of her 32 appearances with the Sparks during the 2021 campaign, but she was unable to generate consistent production while playing for her fifth team in as many seasons. She'll now return to Atlanta, where she made 28 appearances (six starts) in 2019 and averaged 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game. While Coffey hasn't been able to find a consistent starting role to begin her WNBA career, she should have a chance to compete with Cheyenne Parker and Kia Vaughn for a spot in the rotation to begin the 2022 season. After posting career-high marks in nearly every category in 2021, Coffey should have ample minutes to generate fantasy output regardless of her starting status.
