Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Foster Moreau

Friday, October 3, 1:27 PM

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that tight end Noah Fant (concussion) will play in Week 5 on Sunday against the visiting Detroit Lions, according to Jay Morrison of BengalsTalk.com. Fant suffered a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and did not get clearance to play in the Monday night loss to his former team, the Denver Broncos, in Week 4. He was able to return to practice this week, though, and he'll be available this weekend as the Bengals look to put an end to their two-game losing streak. Fant had a decent start to the year with 12 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in his first three games, but he lacks any kind of real fantasy upside now that quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is lost for most, if not all, of the 2025 season. Cincy should have a positive game script on Sunday versus Detroit, but Fant is a TE2 option to avoid.

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau (knee) is officially active on Sunday and will make his 2025 season debut in Week 5 against the visiting New York Giants, according to Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. Both Moreau and quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (knee) are making their season debuts this weekend after they suffered torn ACLs last year. Juwan Johnson has been heavily involved through the first four weeks with Hill and Moreau sidelined, and he should continue to be a big part of their passing attack. The 28-year-old Moreau tore his ACL in Week 18 last year. He should be the TE3 in New Orleans now that he's healthy, which makes him one to avoid in all leagues. Last year, Moreau caught 32 passes for 413 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games.
