Risk Flags
6- Injury Recovery
Martin had shoulder surgery after BYU's 2025 season and is sitting out all contact drills during spring 2026 camp. While head coach Kalani Sitake says he's 'right on target,' a reinjury in his senior season would be devastating to his 2027 draft stock.
- Draft Capital Risk
NFL scouts projected Martin as only a 5th-round pick before he returned to BYU — a clear signal of concerns despite his production. His dynasty ceiling is heavily dependent on converting college success into a significantly higher 2027 draft slot.
- Injury Concerns
He underwent December 2025 shoulder surgery to repair an October injury he played through, and was still rehabbing at the start of spring 2026 camp. Health is worth monitoring given his heavy workload (236 carries in 2025).
- Usage & Volume
A bell-cow college workload combined with a downhill, contact-heavy running style raises tread/durability concerns that NFL teams weigh heavily for the RB position.
- NFL Timeline
Martin is not yet on an NFL roster and won't enter the league until the 2027 NFL Draft at the earliest. In standard (non-devy) dynasty formats, he carries zero actionable value until after that draft.
- Athletic Profile
Scouts note he lacks elite top-end speed and wins on vision, patience and physicality (comps: Tyler Allgeier, lighter AJ Dillon), which can cap his draft ceiling absent a strong combine.
