2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Sky underwent a complete overhaul last offseason, moving on from Candace Parker (Aces), Courtney Vandersloot (Liberty) and Allie Quigley (free agent), so Copper was thrust into a leading role in 2023 and thrived, averaging a career-high 18.7 points to go with 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 31.2 minutes per game. Chicago rewarded Copper with a multi-year extension last September, and she appeared to be on track to be the cornerstone of the rebuilding franchise. However, the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP was surprisingly traded from the Sky to the Mercury in February, leaving Chicago's roster in flux while joining what has become a viable playoff contender in Phoenix. While the 29-year-old won't be the clear-cut No. 1 option as part of a team that now includes players like Brittney Griner, Diana Taurasi, Natasha Cloud and Rebecca Allen, Copper has proven her ability to make a real-life difference for her team and should remain a solid fantasy option in 2024. While her scoring production could take a hit with her new organization, she should have little trouble finding a prominent role in Phoenix. Read Past Outlooks

February 6, 2024
The Sky are finalizing a deal to send Copper and Morgan Bertsch to the Mercury on Tuesday in exchange for Michaela Onyenwere, Brianna Turner and four draft picks, including the 2024 No. 3 overall pick, Annie Costabile of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Copper, the 2021 WNBA Finals MVP, was the lone remaining player left from Chicago's championship run, and her departure signals a full-on rebuild for the Sky. As the go-to option in 2023, Copper averaged 18.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 38 games for Chicago and was given a multi-year extension ahead of the playoffs. She likely won't see as much usage in Phoenix, but Copper proved she can deliver quality production in a secondary role earlier in her career.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Copper is coming off a career-best season in which she averaged 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 28.7 minutes and posted relatively efficient 48/36/78 shooting splits. She projects as the No.1 scoring option for Chicago again this season, giving her a reasonably high floor in fantasy. She doesn't provide anything as a defender, but she's showing progress in other areas of her game and took an impressive 4.2 free throws per contest last year.
Fresh off of a WNBA Finals MVP award, Copper inked a multi-year contract this offseason with a Sky club that retains most of its roster from last year's championship run. Copper finished the 2021 regular season averaging 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 30.8 minutes per contest. Her shooting numbers were on par with the previous campaign both in volume (11.8 attempts compared to 12.1 in 2020) and efficiency (54.3 true shooting percentage; 56.1 percent in 2020) and she should maintain a similar role this season as Chicago aims for back-to-back titles.
