Chiney Ogwumike

Ogwumike, who was coming off an injury-plagued 2021, had a limited role in 2022 and averaged 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 18.4 minutes across 26 appearances (seven starts), marking the worst statistical season of her four-year career. At first, Ogwumike's 2023 outlook appeared bleak, as Los Angeles retained Katie Lou Samuelson and brought in Azura Stevens, Dearica Hamby and Stephanie Talbot to bolster its frontcourt. However, Samuelson (pregnancy) and Talbot (knee) are unlikely to play this season, allowing Ogwumike to creep back into fantasy relevancy. It's unlikely Ogwumike will be able to get back to her rookie-level production (14.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 25.5 minutes as a full-time starter with Connecticut in 2018), but she's a strong bounce-back candidate heading into 2023 and remains a high-floor option due to rebounding, defensive production and above-average shooting efficiency.
