Damien Martinez

Dynasty Outlook: The rugged tackle-breaking former Miami Hurricane was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. Martinez could easily hop former seventh-round pick Kenny McIntosh for the RB3 job for Seattle by Week 1. Last year, Martinez ranked eighth in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in elusive rating (per PFF). He's another back worth a taxi squad spot after he likely falls to waivers post-rookie draft. If you feel the need or want to make sure that you secure his services, use your final-round pick on Martinez. Kenneth Walker is an unrestricted free agent after this season. Martinez could walk into 2026 as the RB2 on the depth chart behind only Zach Charbonnet.

The Seahawks signed RB Damien Martinez to his rookie contract.

Fantasy Impact

Martinez was a seventh-round pick of Seattle last month. He will likely compete for a short-yardage role in the Seahawks backfield.
