Nick Martin enters his Year 2 as a 23-year-old LB with the SF 49ers, ranking #206 among dynasty players with a dynasty score of 7.0. He averages 18.0% defensive snaps per game with a stable trend, and despite injury concerns, remains a cheap and accessible dynasty asset.

Martin averages 18.0% defensive snaps per game with the SF 49ers’ zone-heavy 4-3 scheme under Nick Sorensen. His 1 fantasy point in 2025 custom scoring on 4 solo tackles and 1 forced fumble indicates modest tackling production. However, his injury history raises concern about his ability to contribute in 2026. Despite this, his cheap and accessible dynasty value remains a positive.

Martin suffered a Week 15 injury in 2025, with two reported Did Not Participate in Practice sessions and a Week 16 Out designation. This injury history raises concern about his durability, particularly in a zone-heavy scheme where LBs are often asked to roam. Despite this, Martin’s modest rushing exposure and designed LB duties reduce his injury risk.

Martin’s defensive snap percentage remains stable at 18.0% in 2025, with one 0.0% outlier in Week 7. No LB2 threat exists on the SF 49ers’ depth chart. Martin’s injury history, however, raises concern about his ability to contribute in 2026.

Nick Sorensen’s 4-3 zone-heavy scheme continues Kyle Shanahan’s outside zone philosophy. Martin’s tackling profile and low-pressure environment fit the scheme, but his injury history raises concern about his ability to contribute in 2026.

Unknown Verdict’s dynasty score for Martin remains stable at 7.0, but injury history raises concern about his ability to contribute in 2026.

Ceiling clears 1 fantasy point in 2025 custom scoring if Martin expands his tackling production. Floor tracks near 0 points given injury concerns and modest tackling production.
