New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau caught a one-yard touchdown pass as the game clock expired in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. The Saints could not convert the ensuing two-point attempt and lost 20-19. Moreau saw four targets, all in the fourth quarter, and caught all of them for 39 receiving yards and the score. His four receptions matched his season high, set back in Week 1 against the Panthers and Sunday's work marked the third time in four games that Moreau saw four targets. The 27-year-old vet has been good for the occasional chunk play this season but does not see enough action in the passing game to be a reliable fantasy asset. His 4-46-1 line from Week 15 gave him his first double-digit PPR score since Week 1. On the season, Moreau has 23 catches for 302 yards and four touchdowns on 31 targets.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau has not been a fantasy asset so far this season and that trend will continue into Week 15. Moreau's receiving production is so light that he has hit double-digit PPR points in just one game this season despite scoring a touchdown in three separate games. The fact that New Orleans' wide receivers have been banged up for most of the season and Taysom Hill (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 13 has little bearing on Moreau's utility in fantasy. Moreau is primarily used as a blocker and he has not seen more than four targets in a game this season or a red zone target since Week 10. Furthermore, quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, hand) is listed as doubtful, giving Jake Haener the chance to make his first NFL start. Moreau has flashed his hands on chunk plays here and there in 2024 but is not consistent enough to plug into lineups with confidence. He is an easy fade as the fantasy playoffs begin.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau caught each of his two targets for a total of 40 yards during Sunday's Week 14 win over the New York Giants. His highlight of the day was a 32-yard reception over the middle of the field. The 27-year-old now has multiple catches in each of his last three games, but he still ranks as the overall TE41 in fantasy football during that span. As long as fellow tight end Juwan Johnson remains healthy, Moreau can be left buried on waivers, especially now that quarterback Jake Haener might be in line to start a couple of games for New Orleans.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday after logging limited sessions on the two preceding days. He will not carry a designation going into Sunday's game against the New York Giants. In Week 13, fellow tight end Taysom Hill (knee) tore his ACL, ending his season and thus bumping Moreau up in the pecking order on offense. It should be noted that during Hill's previous multi-week absence earlier this season, Moreau had minimal involvement as a pass-catcher. To date, he has 17 catches for 223 yards and three touchdowns on 25 targets. Fantasy managers in a bind at tight end thanks to this week's bye-pocalypse should look elsewhere for help. The Giants allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position and Moreau is used as an extra blocker more than twice as often as he runs a route. If desperation drives investment in the Saints for roster help, look to Juwan Johnson rather than Moreau for a streaming tight end.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau was limited in practice this week as the team prepared for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams. Moreau was hampered by a shoulder injury that occurred in Week 12 as he fell hard to the ground while catching a ball in that game against the Browns. The injury took him out of the game briefly, but he returned to finish out the contest. Moreau leads the Saints' tight ends in snap share but is used primarily as an extra blocker. While he does have three touchdowns this season, his use as a pass-catcher is too inconsistent to be viable for fantasy football. Moreau can easily be left on the waiver wire.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (shoulder) has returned to the game on Sunday after briefly exiting with a shoulder injury. So far, Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson have taken the bigger snap share when it comes to the tight end spot. Moreau will look to get into the mix during the second half while the Saints lead 14-6.
Nov 17, 2024 2:34 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of their game against the Cleveland Browns and is now considered questionable to return. The 27-year-old is usually good for a couple of targets per game but hasn't registered anything just yet in this matchup. Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson will continue in the tight end spot in his place if he can't return.
Nov 17, 2024 2:20 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau began the 2024-25 campaign by catching all four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. However, outside of two more trips to the end zone, the 27-year-old has been quiet through the first 10 weeks. Granted, he has logged more snaps than Juwan Johnson, although he hasn't been as productive. Still, even with the potential for more attention from Derek Carr in the Week 11 meeting with the Cleveland Browns, Moreau is hard to trust from a fantasy standpoint, meaning he's only a starting option for those with nowhere else to turn.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau had just one catch in Week 9 but it was good for a 17-yard touchdown. His only other target was another shot in the end zone that came in too low for Moreau to secure. Moreau's effort on his score in the fourth quarter was impressive. The 250-lb tight end turned in stride and made a leaping catch while twisting in midair then kept his feet and legs in bounds as he fell to the ground near the side of the end zone. When Moreau rose from the turf he held the ball aloft with both hands, demonstrating he never lost possession despite his defender's best efforts to pull it loose as they collided. The grab was Moreau's third score of the year but just his twelfth reception overall. Primarily used as an extra blocker, Moreau shouldn't be depended on in fantasy in Week 10 when the Saints face the Atlanta Falcons.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau was targeted twice in Monday's 26-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He came away with two catches for 13 yards and a touchdown in the end. The score came early in the fourth quarter after he sold a block, disengaged, and then easily slipped past linebacker Leo Chenal. Quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) found Moreau and floated a seven-yard pass to the tight end as he crossed the goal line. Moreau leads the Saints' tight end room in snap share but is most frequently used as a blocker, with most of the team's targets to his position going to Juwan Johnson. Moreau's production on Monday gives him a line of 7-58-2 through five weeks. Given his role on the team he is too unreliable to be of any use in fantasy and can be left on the wire when New Orleans faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (concussion) will play on Sunday versus the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran caught all four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 massacre of the Carolina Panthers before exiting the game in the fourth quarter. While he practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday, he logged full sessions on Thursday and Friday. Without question, his availability is good news for New Orleans. Unfortunately, the Saints have a difficult matchup on the horizon against a talented Cowboys defense. Fantasy managers in all formats should keep Moreau out of the starting lineup.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday, according to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Moreau left Sunday's game early due to concussion protocol and did not return. Before the injury, Moreau caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Seeing the 27-year-old on the practice field is a good sign for his potential status for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. However, he will need to pass a specific concussion protocol in order to suit up. Given his workload in the season opener, Moreau is shaping up to be a solid TE2 if he plays on Sunday. However, if he is unable to play, Juwan Johnson is likely to see an increase in snaps.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (concussion) is officially in the league's concussion protocol, per head coach Dennis Allen. Moreau picked up the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 47-10 thrashing of the Carolina Panthers. He hauled in all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown on a day where everything fell the Saints' way. The veteran tight end racked up the second-most yards, targets, and receptions on his team and finished the day with just one less target than Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson combined. Quarterback Derek Carr looked very comfortable in a new Saints' offense, and Moreau will now need to progress through the league's protocol before he is cleared to suit up for New Orleans' Week 2 road matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. If he is not ready to roll, expect Johnson to take on the bulk of the more traditional tight-end duties for the Saints.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau has battled numerous ailments throughout his career, most recently a rare ankle injury that he played through for most of last season. As Ross Jackson reports, no one has ever played with the same ankle issue Moreau had let alone played almost an entire season. Moreau said his brace that he played in was preventing one of his tendons from flipping over his ankle bone. Now, ahead of his sixth season in the NFL, he's been given a clean bill of health and he's ready to go for the Saints. On the depth chart, he's currently listed as the backup tight end behind Juwan Johnson, but Taysom Hill will likely encroach on plenty of snaps and receiving work as well.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) played 13 games in 2023 from Week 5 through Week 18 with a severe ankle issue. "No one's ever played with that injury, let alone an entire season," a source with knowledge of the situation said. Moreau played through the issue after previously battling through a diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was outfitted with a custom brace to help keep his peroneal retinaculum tendon from "flipping over my ankle bone." The Saints' training staff miraculously helped Moreau avoid in-season surgery, although he did have a procedure done in late January that has him full speed in 2024. The 27-year-old is as tough as they come, but he's not really on the fantasy radar in any leagues while most likely operating behind both Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson on the TE totem pole in New Orleans.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) logged another full practice session on Friday and no longer carries a designation heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 26-year-old has played in one game this season and has only two catches for 20 yards. However, with Juwan Johnson (calf) out, Moreau may receive an enhanced role in Week 5. But with Jimmy Graham still in the equation and Derek Carr (shoulder) questionable, Moreau shouldn't be considered anything more than a desperation addition to any fantasy roster.
Oct 6, 2023 9:19 PM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) was able to put in a full practice on Wednesday after he missed the last two games with an ankle injury. Barring a setback later this week, it looks like he will return to action in Week 5 against the New England Patriots on the road. And with Juwan Johnson (calf) not practicing to begin the week, Moreau could return to a bigger role in the offense this Sunday if Johnson is unable to play. Even if that comes to pass, though, the 26-year-old Moreau probably won't be much more than a desperation TE2 streamer in deeper fantasy leagues in a Saints offense that has left a lot to be desired to this point. Moreau has two catches for 20 yards in his first two games with the Saints this year.
Oct 5, 2023 11:16 AM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The 26-year-old got in a limited session last Thursday before being listed as doubtful and ultimately ruled out for Week 3's affair with the Green Bay Packers. Moreau owns just two catches for 20 yards through two outings with both receptions coming in Week 2. If the fifth-year veteran is inactive once again in Week 4's date with the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans' tight end group would remain more condensed toward Juwan Johnson and Jimmy Graham, the latter of whom hit paydirt last Sunday.
Sep 28, 2023 12:41 AM EST
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (ankle) logged a DNP at Wednesday's practice. The ex-Raider snagged his first two catches as a member of the Saints in the team's win over the Panthers on Monday Night Football. There's no word on the severity of the ankle issue Moreau is dealing with, but he'll get two more chances this week to return to the practice field. The Saints will travel to Green Bay for their Week 3 matchup on Sunday.

Moreau announced on Twitter Monday that he's in full remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma.
