Olu Fashanu
21-Year-Old
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
Practicing in full
Fashanu was a full participant during OTAs on Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fashanu had been recovering from strained quadriceps he sustained while running the 40-yard dash at the combine, but he's now back up to full speed. The Jets will probably want to find a way to get him involved early and often this season after using the 11th overall pick to acquire him in the 2024 NFL Draft.

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.
