2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martin was selected by the Aces in the second round of the 2024 WNBA Draft and saw relatively consistent minutes early in the season while the team dealt with injuries. However, her role dwindled down the stretch, and she averaged just 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game over 34 regular-season appearances. She was selected by the Valkyries during the expansion draft during the offseason and will have an opportunity for a fresh start during her second professional season. While the 24-year-old's playing time could increase as part of the league's newest franchise, she'll likely be behind Tiffany Hayes and Julie Vanloo on the depth chart, leaving her to compete with Juste Jocyte and Veronica Burton for minutes.

Martin (hand) is probable for Friday's 2025 season opener against the Sparks, Matthew Walter of The Next Hoops reports.
ANALYSIS
Martin missed Golden State's last preseason matchup while dealing with a right hand injury, but it's not expected to keep her from Friday's season opener. The Iowa product appears on track to open the year in a bench role after averaging 11.5 minutes per game during her rookie campaign with the Aces.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 18th overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, Martin is coming off of an excellent, five-year run as a do-it-all role player for Iowa. The four-year starter posted a career-best 13.1 points per game last season to go with 6.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 28.8 minutes per game. Playing alongside Caitlin Clark, Martin was not a high-volume shooter, but she knocked down 41.4 percent of her threes as a junior before hitting at a 37.0 percent clip last season. Martin is also an excellent free-throw shooter, drilling 86.4 percent of her attempts as a senior. It may be an uphill battle for Martin to make the Aces' final roster, as the two-time-defending champs have no shortage of backcourt talent, headlined by Kelsey Plum, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, Kierstan Bell and Sydney Colson. The Aces also added another guard, Syracuse standout Dyaisha Fair, with the 16th overall pick in April's draft.
