Hits pay dirt in loss
Published: 2024-10-07
Moreau corralled both of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-13 loss to Kansas City.
Moreau was the beneficiary of one of Derek Carr's two touchdown passes in Monday's loss to the reigning Super Bowl Champions. The veteran tight end had just one catch for two yards over his previous three contests, so this lone scoring performance shouldn't spark a frenzy to the waiver wire. Moreau and the Saints will prepare to host the Buccaneers in Week 6.

Sees decreased playing time Week 4
Published: 2024-09-30
Moreau accrued zero targets during Sunday's 26-24 defeat against the Falcons.
Moreau played a season-low 57 percent of offensive snaps after playing at 71 percent in each of the previous three games. The 27-year-old has been listed as the Saints' starting tight end so far this season, but he was overshadowed by Juwan Johnson this week, as the latter logged two catches on three targets while playing 67 percent of offensive snaps. Moreau has now totaled two targets since his four-catch performance against Carolina in Week 1. It's unlikely that he'll get significantly more playing time during the Saints' next game versus the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 7.
Serves as TE1 again
Published: 2024-09-23
Moreau totaled one reception (on two targets) for two yards during Sunday's 15-12 loss versus the Eagles.
Moreau worked his way back in as a receiving option after going without a target during last week's 44-19 win against Dallas. The 27-year-old tight end still didn't see any scoring opportunities, as New Orleans scored touchdowns on just one of three red-zone trips against Philadephia. However, he saw significantly more playing time than Juwan Johnson, tallying 40 offensive snaps compared to Johnson's 28. Through three weeks, Moreau looks like he's valued into the top option at tight end, but he's still logged just five catches on six targets over this span. With new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's scheme seeming to favor the running game and wide receiver passing game, it's unlikely that Moreau will fetch much fantasy value even if he maintains a starting job moving forward.
Has touchdown wiped away in win
Published: 2024-09-15
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 much of any looks during what was 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 of his own early in the third quarter, but this was 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 with 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.
Good to go
Published: 2024-09-13
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 norma role against the Cowboys. Moreau ran routes on only 44 percent of the 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 receiving line with four targets on his 11 routes.
Puts in full practice
Published: 2024-09-12
Moreau (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday.
After he was a limited participant in the 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.
Has concussion, but limited
Published: 2024-09-11
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 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.
Suffers head injury Sunday
Published: 2024-09-08
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 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.
Healthy ahead of Week 1
Published: 2024-08-22
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 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.
