Moreau tallied zero targets during Sunday's 26-14 win versus the Giants.
Moreau eased his way back during his first game off the PUP list. The 28-year-old played a lower percentage of offensive snaps (35) than the team's other two tight ends, Juwan Johnson (85) and Jack Stoll (38). Meanwhile, Taysom Hill served almost exclusively as a rushing option in what was also his first game of the season. Moreau wasn't a significant part of the passing game over the last two years in New Orleans, but he played more offensive snaps (711) than TE1 Johnson (653) over 17 regular-season games in 2024. He should eventually ramp back up to become the clear-cut TE2, but his fantasy value will be minimal except for the deepest of PPR leagues. His next opportunity to crack the stat sheet comes Sunday against the Patriots.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Making season debut Sunday
Rotowire
Moreau (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Saints.
Moreau thus has been cleared for his first game action since Week 18 of last season, when he suffered a knee injury that required surgery and a stint on the reserve/PUP list Weeks 1-4 of the current campaign. Fellow TE Taysom Hill (knee) is back in the lineup as well, meaning Moreau may be the Saints' third option at the position, at best, behind Juwan Johnson (ankle) and Hill on Sunday. Moreau is coming off a 32-413-5 line on 43 targets in 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Off PUP list, still questionable
Rotowire
The Saints activated Moreau (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants.
The same can be said for fellow TE Taysom Hill (knee), giving both players a chance to make their season debuts Week 5. Moreau himself has been in recovery mode since suffering a knee injury in Week 18 of last season that required surgery and a stint on the PUP list to begin the current campaign. With all of Juwan Johnson (ankle), Hill and Moreau questionable for Sunday's game, the latter's workload is to be determined, assuming he's active.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Taking questionable tag into Week 5
Rotowire
The Saints list Moreau (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
After being designated for return from the PUP list earlier this week, Moreau took part in his first practices since undergoing surgery in the offseason to address a knee injury. He was a limited participant Wednesday though Friday, and though Moreau will carry a questionable tag into the weekend, the Saints may want him to turn in a full practice before bringing him back from the PUP list. In addition to Moreau, the Saints list fellow tight ends Juwan Johnson (ankle) and Taysom Hill (knee) as questionable for Week 5, leaving the position group in a state of flux as Sunday's contest approaches.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Logs limited practice activity
Rotowire
Moreau (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Moreau and Taysom Hill (knee) both logged limited practice activity Wednesday after having had their 21-day practice windows opened. Meanwhile, starting tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) was unable to practice to open Week 5. Moreau opened the regular season on the reserve/PUP list and is now in the last stages of his recovery from knee surgery undergone in early January. If Johnson is at risk of missing any time due to injury, Moreau could be positioned to step into a notable role on offense once fully cleared to retake the field.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Set to return to practice
Rotowire
Head coach Kellen Moore said Monday that Moreau (knee) will have his practice window to return from the reserve/PUP list opened this week, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Moreau is in the final stages of his recovery from a knee injury that he sustained in Week 18 of the 2024 regular season. He has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp in July, but the 2019 fourth-rounder has progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice. Once Moreau's practice window opens, the Saints will have 21 days to activate him from the PUP list. If he's not activated within that 21-day window, then he would revert to injured reserve and be forced to miss the rest of the 2025 season.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Moved to reserve/PUP list
Rotowire
The Saints placed Moreau (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Moreau will have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season as he works his way back from an offseason knee procedure. He also missed all of team activities during the spring and summer. The same is true of Taysom Hill (knee), who the Saints also placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, leaving Juwan Johnson with little competition for targets at tight end.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Starts camp on PUP
Rotowire
The Saints placed Moreau (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Moreau was injured in the Saints' Week 18 regular-season finale and required offseason surgery. His return timeline remains unclear after he missed all of the offseason program. Once healthy, Moreau figures to be a part of New Orleans' three-man weave at tight end, which also includes Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill (knee), who is also opening camp on active/PUP while he works his way back from a torn ACL in his left knee.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Surgery ahead
Rotowire
Moreau, who suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, will have to undergo surgery, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Moreau was carted off the field after sustaining a blow to his leg late in Sunday's matchup. It's still unclear what the injury he suffered is, or if he is in danger of missing any time next season. The 27-year-old still has one year left on his contract, although there is likely no guarantee he'll be in a Saints uniform next season.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Injured in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Moreau reeled in all four targets for 31 yards before sustaining a knee injury during Sunday's 27-19 defeat versus the Buccaneers.
Moreau went down after sustaining a blow to his leg, and he was carted to the locker room late in the fourth quarter. Saints coach Darren Rizzi said postgame that the tight end suffered a knee injury, but he did not elaborate on the nature or severity of this issue, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Moreau suited up for all 17 games this season, finishing with 32 catches for 413 yards and five touchdowns. His numbers never jumped off the page this season, but he was a solid complement opposite tight end Juwan Johnson, who recorded a 50-548-3 season stat line. Moreau joined the Saints on a two-year, $12 million contract in March of 2023. With the team likely to undergo a reset this offseason, it's unclear if Moreau will be back in New Orleans for the 2025 campaign.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Team-high yardage total in loss
Rotowire
Moreau secured two of three targets for 33 yards in the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night.
Moreau's yardage total was a team-high figure on a night where Spencer Rattler threw for only 153 yards. Moreau also tied fellow tight end Juwan Johnson and Dante Pettis for the team lead in receptions, and he'll carry a five-game streak of multiple catches into a Week 17 home matchup against his old Raiders squad.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Catches TD in close loss Week 15
Rotowire
Moreau posted four catches (on four targets) for 39 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-19 defeat versus the Commanders.
Moreau once again saw moderate action in the passing game as he logged four targets for the third time in the last four contests. This time, the sixth-year pro nearly secured the game-winning score when he caught a one-yard touchdown as time expired in the fourth quarter. But, the Saints' comeback attempt came up just short, as quarterback Spencer Rattler failed to connect with Moreau's fellow tight end Juwan Johnson on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt. Moreau has now totaled 23 catches (on 31 targets) for 302 yards and four touchdowns this season. He should continue to split playing time with Johnson during next week's game versus Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Catches two balls in win
Rotowire
Moreau reeled in both of his two targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 14-11 win against the Giants.
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 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.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Ready to rock
Rotowire
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.
Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) both have had caps 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.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Moreau (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
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. Neither player has missed a game this season, but if one of them does sit for a Week 14 clash with the Giants, undrafted rookie Dallin Holker could see his first NFL snaps.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Moreau (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
With Taysom Hill (knee) out for the season due to a torn ACL, Moreau and Juwan Johnson (foot) are in line to handle most of the reps at tight end 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 the two enters the weekend with designations ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Could be in store for more work
Rotowire
Moreau finished with two receptions (on four targets) for six yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.
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 moving forward 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.

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

Saints' Foster Moreau: Shoulder injury lingering
Rotowire
Moreau was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
Prior to the Saints' Week 12 bye, Moreau's snap share was at least 70 percent in four consecutive games, but his overall receiving line of 4-67-1 on nine targets during that span was lacking, aside from a 17-yard touchdown 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 bye week. Moreau's listing on practice reports Thursday and Friday likely will give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Rams.
