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.
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.
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.
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.
Foster Moreau In Remission From Hodgkin's Lymphoma
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau announced on his Twitter account on Monday that he's in full remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma. It's awesome news for Moreau, who followed quarterback Derek Carr from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Saints this offseason on a three-year deal after he was diagnosed with lymphoma. The lymphoma diagnosis barely slowed the 26-year-old down, as he was able to fully participate in organized team activities and minicamp this offseason. Moreau could be a nice fit in New Orleans' offense and already has plenty of chemistry with Carr from their time in Vegas. However, unless Juwan Johnson suffers an injury that causes him to miss time in 2023, Moreau will find it difficult to be a start-worth TE in most fantasy leagues.
Foster Moreau Could Compete For Targets With Juwan Johnson
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau had 12 touchdowns in four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, but nobody knew when he'd be returning to football after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the offseason. But he wasn't limited in organized team activities and minicamp and was a frequent target of quarterback Derek Carr throughout practices. Moreau worked with both the first and second team during OTAs and could compete with Juwan Johnson for snaps as the team's No. 1 or No. 2 tight end in 2023. The 26-year-old signed a three-year, $12.234 million deal with the Saints in the offseason and has plenty of chemistry with Carr from their time in Vegas. Moreau will probably only become start-worthy in fantasy lineups, though, if Johnson misses time with an injury.
Newly acquired New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau is participating and running routes at OTAs just two months after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The belief is Moreau will play this season, which is awesome news after the scary development. Moreau spent four seasons with the Raiders organization, serving primarily as Darren Waller's backup. Considering his limited role, he posted a respectable 91 receptions for 1,107 yards and 12 touchdowns over his time in the Silver and Black. He'll be catching passes with Derek Carr once again in New Orleans, but Juwan Johnson will eat into his overall production. For now, its tough to expect anything more than a TE3 fantasy season for the former LSU Tiger.
New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau decided to step away from football after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma less than two months ago. Now, Moreau has a chance of being ready for the beginning of OTAs, according to head coach Dennis Allen. The Saints and Moreau recently agreed on a three-year, $12 million contract. The expectation is that he'll compete for targets with Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill. That being said, it's hard to imagine he'll be a TE1 heading into next season. His usage will likely decrease with the move to New Orleans. Regardless, it's fantastic to see that Moreau is going to be on a football field again.
The New Orleans Saints and free-agent tight end Foster Moreau agreed to terms on a three-year, $12 million deal on Wednesday, according to his agent. The deal includes $8 million guaranteed and $3 million in incentives. Moreau has a positive diagnosis on his Hodgkin's lymphoma recovery and plans to play in 2023 for the Saints. The 26-year-old will be reunited with quarterback Derek Carr in the Big Easy this year and joins a tight end room that also includes Juwan Johnson and Swiss Army Knife Taysom Hill. Moreau could have a big role with his new team, but fantasy managers can't consider him a surefire TE1 given the presence of both Johnson and Hill. We should have a better idea of how the Saints will deploy him once training camp kicks off at the end of July.
Foster Moreau Attracting Attention From Saints And Other Teams
Former Raiders tight end Foster Moreau has reportedly received an offer from the New Orleans Saints and is drawing attention from other teams, even after having been diagnosed with cancer. Moreau's Hodgkin's lymphoma was discovered during a physical conducted by the Saints during the free agency period. Moreau said that he was going to be stepping away from football to "kick [cancer's] ass." The 26-year-old is optimistic that he could be able to return to the football field after undergoing chemotherapy.Still it's unclear when Moreau would be ready to play again. An article by the USA Today's John Sigler suggested he could be put on a team's non-football injury list and be able to play halfway through this season. Moreau is coming off his best season in terms of receptions and yards. Regardless of whether he is able to return in 2023, the optimistic news means he maintains long-term value in dynasty leagues.
