Moreau

It’s unknown how bad Moreau is injured, but if he has ligament tears he could open training camp on the PUP list. If Moreau’s knee injury is deeply serious, the 2025 season would probably be in jeopardy given how late in the season this injury occurred. Moreau enters the final year of his three-year Saints contract in 2025 and has a $4.6 million cap hit. The Saints can save $2.5 million against the cap if they release him.

Moreau’s first season with the Saints saw the 27-year-old catch 32 passes for 419 yards The 27-year-old has the ability to get down the field, but has never been able to put together a season that would be considered fantasy significant. That’s unlikely to change in 2025.

Moreau scored the first touchdown of the game on a pretty trick play from the Saints that involved two backward passes before Spencer Rattler found Moreau wide-open in the end zone. However, 30 of Moreau’s 47 total yards came on that one trick play, so the 27-year-old backup tight end is hard to trust in fantasy leagues in Week 18.

The offense managed only 194 total yards in what eventually went down as the first shutout of the 2024 NFL season. Moreau remains unlikely to see consistent volume in what has become one of the worst offenses in the league with Spencer Rattler under center.

Moreau came up big late for the Saints in Sunday’s loss. Moreau caught a seven-yard pass a fourth-and-three to convert a first down and bring the Saints down to the Commanders’ one-yard line, and subsequently caught a one-yard score on the following play. It was the fourth touchdown of the season for Moreau, who has now caught 23 passes for 302 yards and four scores on the year. He’s now seen four targets in three of his last four games, but shouldn’t be relied on in Week 16’s game against the Packers.

Moreau saw four targets against the Rams, all within a few yards of the line of scrimmage, except for one deep target that he caught one-handed out of bounds. With Taysom Hill potentially dealing with a concerning knee injury, Moreau is on the fantasy radar. He will work behind Juwan Johnson, but Moreau has some utility as a fantasy TE3 for Week 14 against the Giants.

With Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed also ruled out, the Saints’ remaining tight ends should see an uptick in targets for their matchup with the Broncos. Juwan Johnson has topped 30 yards in back-to-back weeks and can be considered a low-end TE2 for Week 7. Foster Moreau is a touchdown-or-bust TE3.

Moreau got behind the Bucs’ defense for a 41-yard gain in the second quarter but was otherwise uninvolved. He continued to split reps with Juwan Johnson, who caught three passes for 48 yards. Neither tight end is seeing enough work to be viable, though Johnson should get the nod over Moreau in deep fantasy leagues.

Fellow tight end Juwan Johnson caught all five of his targets for 31 yards but it was the blocking tight end that caught the lone touchdown for the position group, reeling in a six-yard touchdown grab at the start of the fourth quarter. Neither tight end brings significant fantasy value considering a relatively even split in snaps.

Moreau led the Saints’ tight ends in targets, but that isn’t saying much. He caught a touchdown in Week 1 and had another called back in Week 2. Moreau’s red zone role makes him a threat for the occasional score, but it isn’t enough to warrant TE2 consideration heading into Week 4.
