2025 Fantasy Outlook
After averaging 8.9 points and 3.7 rebounds for Phoenix in 2023, Onyenwere's averages dropped to 6.6 points and 1.8 rebounds for Chicago in 2024. However, she still received a qualifying offer from the Sky and signed a one-year deal to return for a second season. Elizabeth Williams is healthy, while Chicago added Rebecca Allen, Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse this offseason to replace Lindsay Allen, Brianna Turner and Isabelle Harrison. Chennedy Carter also remains a free agent ahead of the 2025 WNBA Draft. Despite all of the movement, Onyenwere's role in 2025 should remain somewhat similar to last season. She will likely play close to 20 minutes per game and be a spot starter when needed, but it'd be surprising if she delivered consistent fantasy production. Read Past Outlooks

Decent showing in season finale
FChicago Sky
September 12, 2025
Onyenwere closed with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Thursday's 91-86 loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Onyenwere had an inconsistent role for parts of the 2025 campaign, but she closed the season out on a high note by posting a fourth consecutive double-digit scoring total Thursday. The 26-year-old's production declined slightly during her second season in Chicago, as she averaged 5.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.9 minutes per game over 42 appearances (22 starts). Onyenwere has had a bit of an up-and-down start to her career after being named the 2021 Rookie of the Year, but she'll likely draw ample interest as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After two years in New York, Onyenwere moved to Phoenix and thrived for a struggling Mercury squad. She averaged 8.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 23.8 minutes across 40 appearances -- all career highs. This offseason, she was traded to Chicago, along with Brianna Turner and four draft picks, in the deal that sent Kahleah Copper to Phoenix. Diamond DeShields and Isabelle Harrison both missed 2023 due to knee injuries, so their health in 2024 will play a key factor in Onyenwere's playing time. The Sky also have the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft after the blockbuster trade and could add another frontcourt option. Onyenwere's all-around skill set helped her flirt with top-50 status last year, but she isn't elite enough in any single category to be considered a must-start player in fantasy if she isn't playing close to 25 minutes per game.
Onyenwere was solid for the Liberty as a rookie in 2021, posting 8.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game across 32 appearances (29 starts). However, she was relegated to a reserve role in 2022 and ended up undergoing knee surgery following the campaign. She was also traded to the Mercury during the offseason, but the expectation is that she'll be healthy and available for her new team to start 2023. With Sophie Cunningham, Brianna Turner and Brittney Griner likely starting in the frontcourt, Onyenwere will compete for a reserve role with Jennie Simms, Sam Thomas and Megan Gustafson. However, barring numerous injuries, it's hard to imagine Onyenwere finishing the campaign as a top-50 fantasy producer.
As a rookie last season, Onyenwere averaged 8.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game. She shot 40.1 percent from the field, 32.7 percent from three and 83.6 percent from the free-throw line. She reportedly suffered a nasal fracture in an early-January training session, but the issue isn't expected to impact her status for the 2022 WNBA season. With the Liberty's core – Sabrina Ionescu, Natasha Howard, Sami Whitcomb, Betnijah Laney – in place, the second-year forward figures to compete for the final starting spot with Stefanie Dolson and Rebecca Allen, though all three will likely be critical members of New York's rotational depth.
