Thaddeus Moss Fantasy Stats

The Cincinnati Bengals elevated tight end Thaddeus Moss from their practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Moss will be active for the first time in his career in Week 12, but it remains to be seen if he'll actually get on the field against Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old has some chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow from their time at LSU in college, but C.J. Uzomah remains Cincy's top pass-catching tight end. Moss will simply be providing depth at the position behind Uzomah, Drew Sample and Mitchell Wilcox.

Former Washington Football Team tight end Thaddeus Moss, the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, has been claimed by the Cincinnati Bengals off waivers, according to a source. The former LSU star will be reunited with quarterback Joe Burrow and profiles as a low-risk, possible high-reward pickup. The Bengals were interested in signing Moss last year after he went undrafted. Moss spent his rookie season in the NFL on Injured Reserve due to a foot injury that required surgery. In his senior season at LSU, he caught 47 passes for 570 yards and four touchdowns. Moss will have a chance to compete for a roster spot this summer behind C.J. Uzomah and Drew Sample, depending on what the team does at the position in the draft.

The Washington Football Team released tight end Thaddeus Moss, the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, on Friday. Moss signed with Washington as an undrafted free agent after last year's draft, and the team was hoping he could develop into a complementary tight end. However, Moss missed part of the summer with a foot injury after doctors discovered that he had fractured his fifth metatarsal bone in his foot, which required surgery and almost eight weeks of recovery time. But one source said his release was more about numbers at the position than past injuries. Moss had 47 catches for 570 yards and four touchdowns for LSU in 2019. Washington also released defensive lineman Caleb Brantley, running backs Michael Warren and Javon Leake and wide receiver Emanuel Hall.
