How do the precepts fit into Nichiren Shu?
Do we follow them or?
In his writing, Hokkemongu (Words and Phrases of the Lotus Sutra), The Great Master Nichiren said, “If the practitioners of the Lotus Sutra wholeheartedly devote their life to the Lotus Sutra and practice according to its golden words, it is certainly needless to say that not only in the next life, but also in this lifetime they will overcome severe difficulty, prolong their life, receive the great, good fortune of unsurpassed enlightenment, and accomplish the great vow of the widespread, propagation of True Buddhism.”

The same way they fit into other Nichiren schools. Nichiren taught that as your practice deepens, you will follow the precepts naturally. We vow to keep the precept of upholding Namu Myoho Renge Kyo. The merit of keeping other precepts is contained within that.
