Foster Moreau a DFS Punt Play vs. Jacksonville

Saturday, October 17, 3:27 AM

Houston Texans tight end Foster Moreau has exactly two catches in four of his five games this season and did get into the end zone in Week 3 against the Colts. Moreau is the team's second tight end behind Dalton Schultz, and he doesn't get enough consistent work to be a regular fantasy option. He's ranked as only the No. 41 tight end in RotoBaller's Week 6 rankings. However, if you're starting your Sunday with a single-game DFS lineup, he does bring enough upside to be a viable bargain play since he does get a few opportunities in the team's game plan in most matchups.

John Bates Could See a Larger Role in Commanders Offense

Saturday, September 26, 6:18 PM

Across his first two games of 2026, Washington Commanders tight end John Bates has recorded just two catches for 13 yards on three targets. However, the 28-year-old could see more playing time in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Commanders TE1 Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) is set to miss his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury. While Bates was not heavily utilized in Week 2, Washington got uninspiring production from the tight end duo of Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff. Bates has recorded just 74 receptions across 84 career games with the Commanders, so he's no guarantee to step in and provide fantasy-relevant production. Still, Bates could be a name to monitor in deep fantasy leagues coming out of Week 3.
