Fuaga shares the edge protection duties with Banks, contributing to a sturdy Saints tackle both on pass pro and run blocks. His pairing with Banks is key to sustaining protection, run lanes, and overall offensive stability for fantasy-relevant Saints players.

Fuaga left Week 1 with a knee issue, impacting the Saints’ early line depth. His health status shapes Banks’ workload and the unit’s overall cohesion. If Fuaga returns quickly, the Saints’ OL depth improves and Banks benefits from more consistent support on the left side.

Fuaga posted one of the top offensive grades for the Saints this summer, flashing athleticism at RT. Injury time has limited his summer reps, but his performance signals potential for Week 1 depth if he stays healthy and earns reps.

Fuaga has had to rest days due to a knee issue, affecting the Saints' interior depth and rotation. His absence could influence interior run-blocking and protection schemes, especially with Penning limited. Depth at guard/tackle may shift as Fuaga recovers, impacting Week 1 protection consistency.

Fuaga moved to right tackle and posted the offense’s best grade (74.1) thanks to strong run blocking (72.2) and elite pass protection (77.7) in nine snaps. His versatility and consistency highlight him as a potential swing lineman who could grow into a longer-term asset on the Saints’ line.
