Saints' Foster Moreau: Has touchdown wiped away in win
Foster Moreau logged zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 victory over the Cowboys.Moreau once again started Sunday after suffering a concussion during last week's win against the Panthers. The 27-year-old didn't get any looks during a clinical performance for quarterback Derek Carr, who went 11-for-16 passing for 243 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. However, Moreau would have recorded a 26-yard touchdown catch early in the third quarter, but the play was nullified by an ineligible downfield player penalty, thus setting up running back Alvin Kamara for his fourth and final touchdown rush later in the drive. Moreau still appeared to play as much or more than Juwan Johnson, who also finished without a target Sunday. It will be worth monitoring if either Moreau or Johnson see any sort of meaningful target share during next Sunday's contest versus Philadelphia.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Good to go
Foster Moreau (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.Moreau was a limited practice participant Wednesday before upgrading to full Thursday and Friday. The lack of an injury designation suggests he's already cleared concussion protocol and will handle his normal role against the Cowboys. Moreau ran routes on only 44 percent of the New Orleans Saints' pass plays in a Week 1 blowout of the Panthers, but he played 77 percent of snaps overall and put up a 4-43-1 line with four targets on his 11 routes.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Puts in full practice
Foster Moreau (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday.After he was a limited participant in the New Orleans Saints' first Week 2 practice Wednesday, Moreau took a step forward by increasing his activity Thursday. Though Moreau is trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Cowboys approaches, the Saints haven't yet confirmed that the tight end has cleared the five-step concussion protocol. He'll need to attain clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol and guaranteeing his availability for Sunday.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Has concussion, but limited
Foster Moreau practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a concussion.Moreau departed in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's win against the Panthers to be evaluated for a head injury and was quickly ruled out. The New Orleans Saints unsurprisingly are listing the tight end with a concussion this week, but his ability to handle some on-field work Wednesday indicates he's making progress through the five-step protocol for head injuries. In any case, Moreau will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Sunday's game at Dallas.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Suffers head injury Sunday
Foster Moreau won't return to Sunday's game versus the Panthers due to a head injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.Moreau made a visit to the sideline tent in the fourth quarter before the New Orleans Saints made a ruling on his status. He'll thus finish Week 1 with four catches (on four targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown. His target count surprisingly was ahead of fellow TEs Juwan Johnson (three) and Taysom Hill (two), but assuming he entered the concussion protocol, Moreau will need to complete its five steps in order to be cleared for his next game action.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Healthy ahead of Week 1
Foster Moreau is healthy in advance of the 2024 season, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.After free agency opened in March 2023, Moreau underwent a physical with the New Orleans Saints, which revealed a diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He immediately began treatment, signed a contract with New Orleans in May and was deemed to be in remission in early July. He proceeded to play in 15 regular-season games en route to a 21-193-1 line on 25 targets, but he revealed that the ankle injury that forced DNPs in Weeks 3 and 4 impacted him the rest of the way and eventually resulted in surgery in early January. With a little more than two weeks remaining before the 2024 campaign, Moreau is positioned behind Juwan Johnson on the TE depth chart, likely leaving him with a similar role to last year.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Grabs pass late in win

Saints' Foster Moreau: Minor role again Week 17
Foster Moreau caught his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 23-13 victory over the Buccaneers.Moreau logged exactly 13 receiving yards for the third week in a row. However, he recorded his lowest number of targets over that span, as he had totaled 11 targets over the previous four games. The 26-year-old took a backseat role behind top tight end Juwan Johnson, who recorded team highs in targets (12), receptions (eight) and yards (90) versus Tampa Bay. The latter tight end seems to have reclaimed his role as New Orleans' top tight end over the past two games, as he has now logged 19 targets over the past two games after totaling just eight over the previous three contests. With Johnson and No. 1 wideout Chris Olave in position as the team's top pass catchers to go along with numerous other receiving options, Moreau's workload should remain minimal Week 18 against Atlanta.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Plays smaller role in loss
Foster Moreau totaled one reception (on two targets) for 13 yards during Thursday's 30-22 defeat to the Rams.After back-to-back weeks as the New Orleans Saints' feature tight end, Moreau took a backseat role behind Juwan Johnson, as the latter played increased offensive snaps (42) and caught four of seven targets and saw increased offensive snaps (42) Thursday. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old Moreau's playing time took a dip, as he played just 40 percent of offensive snaps compared to 63 and 72 percent of offensive snaps in the previous two contests. Johnson also previously played a larger offensive role before dealing with a lingering quad injury for three weeks. Barring injury, it's likely than Johnson will now reprise this larger role over Moreau for the final two weeks of the regular season.

Saints' Foster Moreau: Tallies 13 yards in win
Foster Moreau hauled in three of five targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-6 victory against the Giants.Moreau saw a bump in usage for the third week in a row, as the 26-year-old logged a season high in targets while also tying for his second-most receptions of any game this year. Fellow New Orleans Saints tight ends Juwan Johnson and Jimmy Graham each logged two receptions on two targets, and each also caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Derek Carr, who threw a season-high three touchdowns. This group has taken on a larger role of late with Michael Thomas (knee) on IR, and the absence of No. 1 wideout Chris Olave (ankle) on Sunday likely heightened this even further. However, Moreau has accumulated just seven catches (on nine targets) for 49 yards and zero touchdowns over the last three games. Unless he finds the end zone, his relevance in fantasy will likely remain minimal during Thursday's matchup versus the Rams.
