Placed on IR with knee injury
The Jets placed Fotu (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Fotu will be placed on injured reserve for a second time this season, this time due to a knee injury. He missed the first five games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in training camp, but he was able to suit up for Weeks 6 and 7 and logged three tackles (one solo) over that span. His placement on IR means Fotu will have to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return will be Week 14 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 8. In Fotu's absence, Leonard Taylor and Solomon Thomas will serve as the Jets' rotational defensive tackles behind starters Javon Kinlaw and Quinnen Williams.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fotu led Cardinals interior D-linemen in defensive snaps in 2022, parlaying 482 plays into a career-high 31 tackles and one fumble recovery in 17 games. In fact, he's logged a full 17-game slate in back-to-back seasons, which makes him a far better bet to produce again than the oft-injured Rashard Lawrence. Fotu and Lawrence are lined up to man the team's starting defensive tackle spots this fall.
