Moreau (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Moreau closed out last week with a limited practice before being ruled out for the team's Week 3 loss to the Packers, so this seems like a potential step in the wrong direction. However, he'll try to return to the field Thursday as he works to be prepared to play Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Not playing against Green Bay
Rotowire
Moreau (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Erin Summers of ESPN.com reports.
This isn't exactly surprising, as Moreau was listed as doubtful following Friday's injury report. The former Raiders tight end has just two catches to his name with the Saints, but he's played 68 total offensive snaps through two weeks. Expect Juwan Johnson to see significant playing time, with Jimmy Graham and Taysom Hill also mixing in on occasion.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Doubtful for Week 3
Rotowire
Moreau (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in Green Bay, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Moreau practiced in a limited capacity Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice. If Moreau sits out Sunday's game as expected, Jimmy Graham could see extended action behind Juwan Johnson, with more snaps at tight end possibly going to the versatile Taysom Hill as well.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Upgraded to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Moreau (ankle) was upgraded to a limited practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Moreau was listed as DNP on Wednesday's practice report, so this is a step in the right direction for him ahead of Week 3 versus Green Bay. On 48 percent of the offensive snaps, Moreau has two catches for 20 scoreless yards on two targets.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Misses practice with ankle injury
Rotowire
Moreau didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Moreau is nursing the injury two days after recording two catches for 20 yards in the Saints' 20-17 win over the Panthers on Monday. He'll have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field in some capacity before the Saints' Week 3 game Sunday in Green Bay.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Two grabs Monday night
Rotowire
Moreau reeled in both his targets for 20 yards during Monday's 20-17 win against the Panthers.
Moreau tied with running back Tony Jones and the versatile Taysom Hill for the Saints' fifth-most targets against the Panthers. The 26-year-old logged more receiving yards than starting tight end Juwan Johnson (13), though he still finished far behind wideouts Chris Olave (86), Rashid Shaheed (63) and Michael Thomas (55). Moreau also played significantly fewer offensive snaps (36) than Johnson did (62), as the latter still appears firmly entrenched as New Orleans' TE1. Moreau should continue to serve in a depth role when the Saints travel to Green Bay on Sunday.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Lacks involvement in loss
Rotowire
Moreau didn't draw a target during Sunday's 16-15 victory against Tennessee.
Moreau's debut with the Saints was rather forgettable, as he never logged a target while playing 32 offensive snaps behind starting tight end Juwan Johnson (49), the latter who recorded three catches on five targets. Saints third-string tight end Jimmy Graham ultimately played just nine offensive snaps during his return from a year-long hiatus. Moreau totaled career highs in receptions (33), targets (54) and receiving yards (420) while playing in Las Vegas with Derek Carr for much of last season. While his Week 1 stat line was far from stellar, the 26-year-old's familiarity with the Saints' new starting quarterback provides optimism for his usage moving forward.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Deemed to be in remission
Rotowire
Moreau announced on Twitter on Monday that he's in full remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma.
It's tremendous news after the Saints discovered Moreau's cancer in a free agency visit physical back in March. Moreau eventually signed a three-year deal with New Orleans and was even fully participating in OTAs and minicamp this spring. He's expected to complement Juwan Johnson atop the Saints' tight end depth chart this season.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Doing everything at OTAs
Rotowire
Moreau (illness) participated in Tuesday's practice, Ross Jackson of Saints News Network reports.
The veteran tight end was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma earlier in the offseason but is already a full participant at practice, per Jackson, running routes and catching passes at Tuesday's session. Moreau should be a fixture in New Orleans' offense after inking a three-year, $12.234 million deal to compete with Juwan Johnson for No. 1 tight end duties. Moreau already has familiarity with new Saints QB Derek Carr from their time together with the Raiders.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Links up with Saints
Rotowire
Moreau (illness) agreed to terms Wednesday with the Saints on a three-year, $12 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Moreau was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma after he took a physical with New Orleans during the early portion of free agency, and he'll now ultimately signs with the same team, reuniting with quarterback Derek Carr in the process. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Moreau's recovery is progressing positively, and the 26-year-old plans to play in 2023. Moreau could play a significant role in a tight-end corps headlined by Juwan Johnson and hybrid player Taysom Hill. During the 2022 season, Moreau caught 33 passes (on 54 targets) for 420 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games with the Raiders.

Moreau announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he's "stepping away from football at this time" following a recent cancer diagnosis.
Moreau noted that when he recently underwent a routine physical with the Saints, the team discovered that the free agent tight end has Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He'll now focus on treatment of the disease, with no timetable for when he may be healthy enough to play again, if at all.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: Career-high 54 targets in 2022
Rotowire
Moreau closed out his 2022 campaign with 33 catches for 420 yards and two touchdowns on 54 targets in 15 games.
Moreau was credited with 14 starts and he filled in as the Raiders' No. 1 tight end when Darren Waller was sidelined for eight straight contests due to injury, but Moreau found the end zone just twice all year and never recorded more than 55 receiving yards in a single game. The 2019 fourth-rounder's rookie contract expires and he becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so Moreau could land elsewhere in 2023.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: Season-high 55 yards in loss
Rotowire
Moreau caught all three of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Moreau managed to post a season-high 55 receiving yards despite fellow tight end Darren Waller also erupting for 72 yards and a score on three catches. Moreau actually out-snapped Waller in the contest, but the latter remains a more legitimate receiving threat ahead of the Raiders' Week 18 tilt against the Chiefs.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: Headed back to No. 2 role
Rotowire
Moreau is expected to move back to the No. 2 role at tight end Sunday against the Patriots after the Raiders activated Darren Waller (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Even if Waller is some kind of snap-count restriction in his first game since Week 5, his return in any capacity is still likely to push Moreau off the fantasy radar in most leagues. While serving as the Raiders' starting tight end in each of the team's last eight games, Moreau played at least 90 percent of the offensive snaps on every occasion while stringing together a 19-242-2 receiving line on 37 targets. In the three games this season in which both he and Waller have been available, Moraeu has handled snap shares between 32 and 62 percent while drawing eight total targets.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: Held catchless Thursday
Rotowire
Moreau failed to catch his only target in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Moreau posted a complete dud in what could turn out to be his last chance as the Raiders' No. 1 option at tight end this season, with Darren Waller (hamstring) possibly on track to return from injured reserve Week 15 against the Patriots. Regardless, Moreau hasn't caught more than three passes in a single contest since Week 8.
Let's be real, the only reason why you'd start Moreau is that you're stuck streaming a tight end, perhaps as a bye-week replacement. You'll have to hope he finds a touchdown, which is the case every week for him, but this time he's playing a team that's allowed a LOT of touchdowns to tight ends. If you're weighing him against other low-volume tight ends like Austin Hooper or Dawson Knox, you might as well go with the guy with the better matchup. I would put Hunter Henry ahead of him, however.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: Makes 32-yard grab in win
Rotowire
Moreau caught one of three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
Moreau briefly exited Sunday's contest in the first half to be evaluated for a concussion, but he returned in a timely fashion to ultimately play 55 of the Raiders' 61 offensive snaps. However, he's now been held to just one reception in two of the team's past three games. Fellow tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is eligible to return from IR in Week 14, but his availability for Thursday's tilt against the Rams is in question given the quick turnaround.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Moreau has scored a touchdown in two of his past three games, including Week 12 at Seattle when he had three catches for 33 yards on seven targets. But I'm skeptical about starting him this week against the Chargers. The only tight ends with more than 50 receiving yards this season against the Chargers are Darren Waller, Travis Kelce and David Njoku. And Kelce and Greg Dulcich are the only tight ends with touchdowns against the Chargers. Evan Engram (1 PPR point), Noah Fant (1 PPR point), Kyle Pitts (4 PPR points) and George Kittle (3 PPR points) are some of the tight ends the Chargers have shut down this season. Moreau is only worth starting in deeper leagues.

Raiders' Foster Moreau: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Moreau had a productive game against the Seahawks in Week 12 with three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and he's now scored at least 12 PPR points in two of his past three games. He has a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Chargers, but Moreau can be used as a low-end starting option in deeper leagues. He's worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
