Olu Fashanu earned praise as a rookie left tackle, holding up well against tough matchups and earning recognition in season-opening talks. His athleticism and nimble feet stood out, positioning him as a potential anchor for the Jets’ pass protection and run-blocking schemes this season.

Fashanu starts his first full season at left tackle, likely anchoring the Jets’ pass protection against Watt and Highsmith. With AVT out, the rookie must handle edge rushers while the right side picks up extra help. A solid performance could stabilize Fields’ pocket time and unlock a few big plays for the Jets’ young offense.

Fashanu is a high-ceiling left tackle whose early results will set the tone for the Jets’ pass protection. The job requires rapid development, as Holistic run and pass protection hinges on his ability to anchor against edge rushers and maintain Fields’ pocket integrity.

Fashanu anchors the Jets’ tackle line with Membou, helping stabilize protection as Parsons shifts out of the division. His presence could translate to more reliable pass sets for Fields and cleaner looks for receivers, aiding NYJ fantasy options through the Week 5 schedule and beyond.

Fashanu is projected as a potential blind-side anchor; his pass-blocking grade last season hints at stability if he hits ceiling and pairs with Membou.
