2024 Fantasy Outlook
Better late than never for Martinez, who was a late April transfer portal addition for the Hurricanes. Martinez filled a big void Miami had at the top of its halfback room, and it now appears set to deploy Martinez as the lead runner this fall. He was outstanding in two seasons at Oregon State, especially his most recent sophomore campaign, where he racked up 1,185 yards and nine touchdowns on 6.1 yards per carry. Martinez figures to share the backfield primarily with sophomore Mark Fletcher, who ran for 514 yards and five scores last fall. Ajay Allen, who tallied 70 carries last season, could also be in the mix as a third back. Still, Martinez should lead this running back room for what should be an explosive offense facilitated by the dynamic quarterback Cameron Ward. Read Past Outlooks
Solid day in loss to Syracuse
Martinez totaled 10 rushes for 84 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-38 defeat against Syracuse.
ANALYSIS
After seemingly taking back the lead running back spot the hurricanes returned to a split approach with Martinez and Mark Fletcher. This loss knocks Miami out of the ACC Championship Game and likely out of playoff contention, the junior will wait out to see who the Hurricanes will play for their final game or possible games of the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Martinez's freshman campaign was stellar, leading all Oregon State rushers with 982 yards. He finished the season with a flourish, notching six consecutive 100-yard games before an almost non-existent presence in the team's 30-3 win over Florida in the Las Vegas Bowl following an injury in the final game of the regular season versus rival Oregon. Deshaun Fenwick will compete for touches in the backfield again, but Jamious Griffin has transferred to Ole Miss and Martinez will be the clear top option with an opportunity to lead the conference in rushing if he can stay healthy.
