2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fashanu was drafted 11th overall by the Jets in 2024, but the Penn State product could open his career in a backup role behind veteran tackles Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses. Should either Smith or Moses miss time, Fashanu could fill in at either offensive tackle spot. Read Past Outlooks
Placed on injured reserve
The Jets placed Fashanu (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The No. 11 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft made his NFL regular-season debut at right tackle in Week 3 against the Patriots. Fashanu remained at that position for the following two games, and after reverting to a reserve role, he ended up starting at left tackle in each of the Jets' last five games due to Tyron Smith (neck) being placed on injured reserve in November. The Jets faced multiple injuries to its offensive line, and Fashanu showed his versatility when he played 37 snaps at right guard in Week 9 against the Texans. Fashanu will end 2024 on IR due to a foot injury he suffered against the Rams this past Sunday, but he won't require surgery and should be fully healthy for the start of training camp. Max Mitchell is the top candidate to take over at left tackle for the final two games of the regular season due to Fashanu's injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing exclusively left tackle
Fashanu played exclusively at left tackle throughout the Jets' offseason program, and coach Robert Saleh said that the plan as of now is to keep the 2024 first-round pick exclusively at that position moving forward, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
If Fashanu remains at left tackle, the rookie 11th overall pick would begin his NFL career on the bench behind eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith, whom the Jets signed to a one-year contract in free agency prior to drafting Fashanu. Smith has missed at least three games in every season since 2016, so Fashanu would likely get a chance to play at some point in 2024 even if the rookie is limited to the left tackle position he played at Penn State. Should right tackle Morgan Moses struggle or get or remain hurt, the Jets would be faced with a decision between moving Fashanu to the right side or plugging in a potentially inferior replacement such as Carter Warren or Max Mitchell. It's telling that the team hasn't tried Fashanu on the right side in OTAs or minicamp while Moses recovers from a torn pectoral.
