2023 Fantasy Outlook
Becton has missed most of the past two seasons due to knee injuries, but the 2020 first-round pick has slimmed down heading into 2023 in hopes of rediscovering his strong rookie form. If he can stay healthy, the 6-foot-7 Becton has the talent to earn a starting offensive tackle role for the Jets. Read Past Outlooks

Earning shot at right tackle
OTNew York Jets
August 22, 2023
Becton will start at right tackle in the Jets' final preseason game, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
At the start of training camp, Becton was reportedly far from earning a starting role along the offensive line. However, he's earned praise for his work in the preseason and has seemingly risen back up the depth chart. Max Mitchell, who started only five games at right tackle last season for the Jets due to a knee injury and a blood clot issue, and veteran Billy Turner are also available should Becton regress.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
After a promising rookie season as the Jets' starting left tackle in 2020, Becton hurt his MCL in the 2021 season opener and went on to miss the rest of the season. If he can get and stay healthy, Becton - who's listed at 6-foot-7 and 363 pounds - should occupy one of the starting tackle spots on New York's offensive line.
Becton battled through shoulder and chest injuries as a rookie, but the 11th overall pick in the 2020 draft still put forth a promising rookie campaign, establishing himself as the Jets' left tackle of the present and future. The 6-foot-7, 364-pound behemoth has the potential to turn into one of the league's most dominant offensive linemen, but Becton will need to stay healthy and in shape to live up to his high ceiling.
