FOSTER MOREAU NEWS

Catches two balls in win Moreau reeled in all two targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 14-11 win against the Giants.

Impact Moreau made one of the standout plays of Sunday's game, catching a pass one-handed and in stride over the middle before running for a 32-yard gain. The 250-pound tight end has already surpassed his season-long production from last year, but he's still logged more than two catches in just two games this season and has not recorded a touchdown since Week 9. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Juwan Johnson recorded four catches on five targets along with an 11-yard touchdown reception on Sunday. Moreau and Johnson should continue to split targets as the top-two tight ends for the Saints moving forward. Their next game will come versus the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Ready to rock Moreau (shoulder) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) have both had a cap on their practice reps heading into Sunday's road matchup at New York, but neither will carry an injury designation into the weekend. In the wake of Taysom Hill (knee) sustaining a season-ending ACL tear, Moreau and Johnson have attained increased fantasy upside as the top remaining playmakers in New Orleans' tight end corps. In standard scoring formats, though, both Moreau and Johnson will still likely be touchdown dependent options.

Remains limited Thursday Moreau (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Both Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) have operated with a cap on their practice reps so far this week, so Friday's injury report will reveal who among the duo may be cleared ahead of the weekend. Moreau and Johnson are the top options to handle TE reps for the Saints the rest of the campaign after Taysom Hill tore his ACL this past Sunday versus the Rams.

Dealing with shoulder issue Moreau (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Taysom Hill out for the season due to a torn ACL, Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) are in line to handle most of the TE reps for New Orleans moving forward. However, both players have kicked off Week 14 prep with a cap on their practice reps. Sessions on Thursday and Friday likely will determine whether one or both of them enter the weekend with designations ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Saints say Taysom Hill 'likely' has a season-ending knee injury

The prognosis the New Orleans Saints feared after Taysom Hill’s fourth-quarter injury against the Los Angeles Rams has become a reality

DECEMBER 2 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Could be in store for more work Moreau (shoulder) finished with two receptions (four targets) for six yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

Impact Moreau's stat line was nothing to write home about, but there are positive takeaways for the tight end Sunday. First off, New Orleans' recent bye week allowed the veteran backup to heal up from a shoulder injury sustained in the Saints' prior contest back in Week 11. Moreau's role may increase in the interim after versatile starter Taysom Hill (knee) was carted off late in the fourth quarter of the loss to Los Angeles. Juwan Johnson (5-36-0) could also benefit from any time Hill may be forced to miss, but both could become waiver adds in deeper formats in that scenario.

Cleared to face Rams Moreau (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Moreau will be available Sunday after logging three limited practices. He'll work as part of a crowded New Orleans tight end room that also features Juwan Johnson and the versatile Taysom Hill.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Thursday Moreau (shoulder) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report.

Impact Moreau would have maintained his activity level from Wednesday if the Saints had held practice, but his listing Thursday indicates that he's still bothered by the shoulder injury that he sustained in the team's last game Nov. 17 against the Browns. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Rams.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Shoulder injury lingering Moreau was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Prior to the Saints' Week 12 bye, Moreau's snap share was at least 70 percent in four consecutive games, but his overall line of 4-67-1 on nine targets during that span was lacking, aside from a 17-yard TD in Week 9 at Carolina. He made a brief exit Week 11 against the Browns due to a shoulder issue, which appears to be lingering after the team's recent respite. Moreau's listing on practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Rams.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Sees solid target share Week 11 Moreau notched three receptions (on four targets) for 50 yards during Sunday's 35-14 victory against the Browns.

Impact Moreau briefly exited with a shoulder injury in the first half before returning in the second quarter. The tight end logged three catches in the second half as the Saints scored over 30 points or the first time since Week 1. He did not see any targets in the red zone though, as fellow tight end Juwan Johnson scored the team's shortest touchdown with a one-yard reception to go up 28-14 in the fourth quarter. Moreau's average target share still isn't enough to justify any fantasy relevance unless he plays an outsized role as a red-zone threat. With the Saints on bye Week 12, Moreau's next chance to get back into the end zone will come versus the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 1.

Returns to action Sunday Moreau has returned to Sunday's game against the Browns after hurting his shoulder in the first quarter, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Moreau exited in the first quarter after being slammed to the ground on an attempted catch, and he was initially deemed questionable to return. However, the tight end has since been able to re-enter the contest. Moreau will thus be able to continue working as part of the Saints' tight-end trio along with Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

Leaves game with shoulder injury Moreau (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Moreau got slammed to the ground while making a catch late in the first quarter, which was ultimately nullified by a holding call. Moreau managed to walk back to the bench under his own power, and while he is being evaluated, Dallin Holker could see more snaps on offense behind Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Held without a catch Sunday Moreau failed to haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 20-17 victory against Atlanta.

Impact Moreau logged two or fewer targets for the sixth game in a row. The sixth-year tight end has been an intermittent scoring threat in the red zone this season, but he has little to no value in terms of fantasy otherwise. This didn't change despite the barrage of injuries to the team's wide receiver room, as Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) was inactive while Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) are all on IR. Moreau has now totaled 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 167 yards and three touchdowns across 10 games. He'll look to find the end zone during next week's game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Catches TD versus Carolina Moreau logged one reception (on two targets) for 17 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-22 defeat against the Panthers.

Impact Moreau caught his third touchdown of the season when he hauled in a 17-yard pass from quarterback Derek Carr early in the fourth quarter. He still split playing time and targets with fellow tight end Juwan Johnson, who was targeted on the ensuring two-point conversion following Moreau's touchdown. Moreau has now totaled 12 catches across nine games this season. He'll look to get back into the end zone during this coming Sunday's home game against Atlanta.

Gets two targets in loss Moreau reeled in all two targets for 38 yards during Thursday's 33-10 loss against the Broncos.

Impact Moreau logged exactly two catches on exactly two targets for the third week in a row. He continued to play almost as many offensive snaps (42) as fellow tight end Juwan Johnson (51). However, the latter totaled four more targets than Moreau. The Saints have started to utilize both tight ends more over the last three games, but the absences of starting quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) and do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) have severely impacted the team's overall offensive production. With Carr likely to remain out this coming week versus the Chargers, it's probably not worth picking up either Johnson or Moreau on the waiver wire in season-long fantasy formats.

Catches two passes versus Tampa Bay Moreau hauled in both of his targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Moreau logged over 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 1. The 27-year-old also recorded a team-long 41-yard reception on a deep pass from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who was starting in place of an injured Derek Carr (oblique). The Saints appear to use their tight ends more Week 6, though Juwan Johnson saw more of the benefits with three catches on three targets for 48 yards. Johnson has seen more consistent targets over the last three games while Moreau has totaled just four over this span. Moreau likely won't even warrant attention as a fringe waiver-wire pickup as long as Johnson commands the majority of usage at tight end for the Saints.

Hits pay dirt in loss Moreau corralled both of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-13 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Moreau was the beneficiary of one of Derek Carr's two touchdown passes in Monday's loss to the reigning Super Bowl Champions. The veteran tight end had just one catch for two yards over his previous three contests, so this lone scoring performance shouldn't spark a frenzy to the waiver wire. Moreau and the Saints will prepare to host the Buccaneers in Week 6.
