Moore caught for passes for 30 yards, including a six-yard touchdown reception, in Sunday's win over Dallas.

Analysis: Moore has been up-and-down most of the season, as expected given the Saints' plethora of weapons, but he managed to save his line on Sunday with his second touchdown grab in as many games. Moore will continue to have a significant role on the Saints' offense but it is difficult to gauge how…read more

Moore caught one pass for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

Analysis: His hot streak finally came to an end, as the Giants did an excellent job of limiting Moore, who was only targeted four times on the afternoon. While he can sometimes find himself as the odd man out in the passing game, he should be a fair option against Tampa Bay's last-ranked pass defense in Week…read more

Moore caught seven passes for 123 yards in Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

Analysis: Moore, along with Marques Colston, tied for the team lead in targets with 11. Clearly, Moore is a big fan of playing Atlanta, as he now has 14 catches and 214 yards against the Falcons. However, the night could have been even better if Moore hadn't dropped a sure touchdown in the second half on a…read more

Big three key to success

In his "Thursday Night Thriller" analysis, Bucky Brooks notes, "the teams that have been able to contain New Orleans have focused on stopping the Saints' top three threats: Graham, Colston and Sproles. This trio has accounted for 56.5 percent of Brees' completions and 20 of his 31 passing touchdowns." READ: THURSDAY NIGHT THRILLER

Analysis: If the Falcons are successful in this scenario, it could mean a good day for wideout Lance Moore, who has scored double-digit fantasy points in two of his last three road contests. That said, owners shouldn't shy away from starting the Saints top threats.

Moore caught three passes on six targets for 61 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: It was another solid effort by Moore, who now has at least 50 yards receiving in eight of the ten games in which he has played this season. He continues to be efficient with his receptions but has only managed to haul in more than four passes on four occasions during that same stretch. Still, his…read more

Moore had two catches on three targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Raiders.

Analysis: Moore certainly made the most of his catches, scoring touchdowns of 38 and 15 yards in the third quarter. He doubled his season-total for scores on Sunday but has failed to reach 100 receiving yards in four straight games. Still, the offense is clicking right now, making Moore a viable option on a…read more

Moore caught seven passes for 91 yards in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Analysis: Moore was targeted a team-high nine times and turned in a nice game as a result. While he is clearly number three in the pecking order when Drew Brees drops back to pass, behind Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston, the Saints offense is clicking right and Moore should continue to see plenty of…read more

Moore caught two passes for 61 yards in Monday's win over the Eagles.

Analysis: Moore was only targeted twice but hauled in both, including a long 38-yard grab. Meanwhile, it was Jimmy Graham who was the apple of Drew Brees' eye, seeing 11 targets and hauling in eight of them. Still, the Eagles present a tough challenge for opposing wide receivers, and so long as Darren…read more

With news that Darren Sproles will be out indefinitely with a broken hand, Moore could see a slight boost in value.

Analysis: Moore excels in the short passing game, and without Sproles, he could see a few more targets a game in the psasing game. PPR owners should certainly take note of the recent developments and give Moore a slight boost in value as a result.

Moore caught three passes for 25 yards in Sunday's loss in Denver.

Analysis: After a big game in Tampa Bay last week, Moore struggled to connect with Drew Brees on Sunday night, as the two only hooked up on three of Moore's six targets. Jimmy Graham, meanwhile, was the apple of Brees' eye to the tune of ten targets. With Graham grabbing up space in the middle of field, an…read more

Saints' WRs all get in on the action

Lance Moore led all Saints' wideouts with 121 yards receiving against the Buccaneers. Devery Henderson totaled 73 yards, but it was Marques Colston who hauled in one of Brees' four TD passes to go with 71 yards receiving. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: The Saints offense didn't miss a beat without the injured Jimmy Graham, opting to instead spread the ball around to all of their weapons.

Moore (hamstring) had nine catches for 121 yards Sunday against the Bucs.

Analysis: A very solid game for Moore, who led the Saints in receptions and receiving yards with tight end Jimmy Graham out with an injury. Unfortunately for Moore's fantasy owners, quarterback Drew Brees threw for four touchdowns, but didn't connect with Moore in the end zone. It seems the hamstring injury…read more

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Active

Moore (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Analysis: With Jimmy Graham out, Moore could certainly see increased targets, after missing the Saints' previous game against the Chargers.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Probable For Sunday

Moore (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Larry Holder reports.

Analysis: Between the limitation if not absence of Jimmy Graham (ankle) and the shootout-friendly defense the Saints have, Moore is looking like a nice on-paper fantasy wideout this week.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Practices Fully Wednesday

Moore (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday, the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis: Moore appears to have recovered nicely following the Saints' bye after sitting out Week 5's victory versus the Chargers. He seems poised to return to the field Sunday at Tampa Bay, barring a setback of course.

Moore ruled out

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lance Moore is out against the San Diego Chargers. FULL WEEK 5 INJURY ROUNDUP

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Out Sunday

Moore (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against San Diego, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Mike Triplett reports.

Analysis: Moore's absence leaves more room for Devery Henderson in the receiver rotation, but Moore's targets seem more likely to head to the more competent duo of Marques Colston and Jimmy Graham.

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, the Saints' official site reports.

Analysis: We'll revisit Moore's status Friday, but unless his outlook is bright, then he's going to be a risky Week 5 play, with the Saints taking on the Chargers on Sunday night.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) No Practice Wednesday

Moore did not practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis: After receiving a team-high 15 targets Sunday against Green Bay -- which he turned into seven receptions for 67 yards -- Moore's status for Sunday night's game against San Diego is currently up in the air. We should know how he's progressing through the ailment by the time Friday rolls around.

Moore caught seven passes for 67 yards in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

Analysis: Moore led the Saints in targets with 15, but was only to haul in about half of those throws. However, even when Moore was unable to bring in a pass (he had at least two drops), Drew Brees often went right back to him on the next play. It is clear that Brees trusts Moore greatly, and with the Saints…read more

Moore had four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Moore led the team in receiving yards in a game where no Saints' player had more than four catches. With Marques Colston battling a foot injury, the Saints will need Moore to continue to step up.

Moore caught two passes for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to Carolina.

Analysis: After last week's huge game against Washington, Moore was quiet against the Panthers. Therein lies the problem with almost any Saint weapon not named Brees, Colston, Graham or Sproles. While the Saints' offense will usually put up big numbers, it is difficult to predict who will be the biggest…read more

Moore had six catches for 120 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Redskins.

Analysis: A huge performance for Moore, who was targeted 10 times and scored on a 33-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Drew Brees targeted three receivers at least 10 times (Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston were the others) and Moore was the surprise winner Sunday. While his big performance…read more

Moore did not participate in Thursday's preseason finale in Tennessee.

Analysis: Moore was one of a number of Saints who did not play in the final tuneup. Moore is locked in as the Saints slot wide receiver in three-wideout sets, a look the team often deploys. Despite Devery Henderson being the Saints' true starting wide receiver, Moore remains a much safer play as one of Drew…read more

Moore caught three passes for 38 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.

Analysis: Moore has had a relatively quiet preseason while the Saints give more extended looks to their younger receivers. That shouldn't be considered an indication of the Saints' regular season plans, as Moore should be the Saints' go-to slot receiver once the season begins.

Moore caught his first pass of the preseason, a six-yard grab, in Friday's preseason tilt against the Jaguars.

Analysis: Moore has had a quiet preseason but as one of the few healthy Saint wide outs, the team is giving younger options like Joseph Morgan and Andy Tanner the opportunity to play substantial minutes in preseason. However, come regular season, expect Moore to lineup weekly in his typical slot position out…read more

Moore, who has not caught a pass in two preseason games, is one of the few healthy Saints receivers.

Analysis: Moore is positioned to once again be the Saints' slot receiver in three-wideout sets. Though he is only 5'9", Moore is one of Drew Brees' favorite targets, particularly in the red zone, having caught eight touchdowns in back-to-back seasons now.

Moore, who was unable to play in either of the Saints' playoff games, finished the year with 52 catches for 627 yards and eight touchdowns.

Analysis: Moore appeared in 14 games and posted solid numbers. He particularly shined in the red zone, which is notable because he is a small receiver. However, this is not a fluke, as he had eight touchdowns in 2010 and 10 in 2008. Drew Brees clearly trusts him near the end zone. With both Marques Colston…read more

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Out For Saturday

Moore (hamstring) has been declared out for Saturday's game against San Francisco, NewOrleansSaints.com reports.

Analysis: Moore's absence will result in more snaps for Robert Meachem, but look for most of his targets to go towards Jimmy Graham and Marques Colston. Moore is primarily a chain mover for New Orleans, making his role more similar to Graham and Colston than the field-stretching Meachem.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) No Practice Thursday

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Jeff Duncan reports.

Analysis: Moore hasn't been ruled out for this weekend, but he looks no better than 50/50 at this point.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) No Practice Wednesday

Analysis: Moore participated in a light practice Tuesday, but his inability to practice Wednesday would appear to cloud his status for Saturday's game against the 49ers.

Moore (hamstring) was on the field for Tuesday's practice, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see how the Saints officially list Moore later in the week, but his presence on the field Tuesday is a positive indicator with regard to his chances of returning to the New Orleans lineup Saturday against the 49ers.

Lance Moore: Ruled Out for Saturday

Moore (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lions, the Saints' official site reports.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) No Thursday Practice

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Jeff Duncan reports.

Lance Moore: Misses Practice Wednesday

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Jeff Duncan of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis: We'll have to see what, if anything, Moore is able to do at practice Thursday, but Duncan's hunch Tuesday was that Moore might not be able to play in Saturday night's game against the Lions.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Will Not Play Sunday

Moore (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against Carolina, NewOrleansSaints.com reports.

Analysis: Not much will necessarily change in the Saints lineup with Moore out. Numbers will be up for grabs between Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson, but it's anyone's guess who might come down with the extra targets.

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Jeff Duncan reports.

Analysis: Moore is looking highly questionable at the moment for New Orleans' season finale against Carolina.

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, according to the NFL's official site.

Analysis: Moore's absence from practice is not much of a surprise considering he left Monday's game without being touched. The Saints have an outside shot at getting a first-round bye, but it's unrealistic to expect Moore to play Sunday.

Moore (hamstring) will not return to Monday's game against the Falcons.

Analysis: Moore pulled up lame on a non-contact injury midway through the second quarter after catching a 15-yard pass. Given the way he went down, it may put his availability for the playoffs at risk.

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Questionable for Monday

Moore's hamstring tightened up on him during the week, according to Coach Sean Payton, Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis: The team is hoping that Moore, who is listed as questionable this week, will have enough time to get better before Monday night's game against the Falcons, but unfortunately, given the late kickoff, rolling with Moore carries risk.

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons, Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis: Moore was injured during the week and now it looks like there could be some concern about his Week 16 status, which is problematic, given the Saints' Monday kickoff.

Analysis: Moore is fully expected to be on the field when the Saints take on the Falcons on Monday. We'll make note if that changes at all.

Moore had five receptions for 91 yards with a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's win at Minnesota.

Analysis: It's hard to know when Moore is going to produce, but he's always capable. He was efficient with his opportunities Sunday, coming down with five of the six passes thrown his way, and rewarding risk-seeking owners handsomely. The Saints will take on Atlanta, who has performed well recently, in a big…read more

Moore caught four passes for a mere 20 yards Sunday in Tennessee.

Analysis: Hopefully you were not burned by Moore's dud but most owners knew the risks of starting him. While he has been on a scoring hot streak, he was still seeing very limited snaps and targets on a per-game basis. Moore remains a very risky play given his limited role from the slot but he faces a very…read more

Moore only caught two passes for 23 yards Sunday versus Detriot, but one went for a 20-yard touchdown.

Analysis: Despite his somewhat limited role in the Saints' offense, Moore continued his scoring rampage Sunday night. It was his third-straight game with a touchdown, and he now has six scores in his last six games. It's tough to bank on a lot of receptions for any of New Orleans' wide receivers outside of…read more

According to Jeff Duncan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Moore played only 20 snaps Monday against the Giants compared to 44 for Devery Henderson, 43 for Marques Colston and 43 for Robert Meachem.

Analysis: Moore is coming off one of his best games of the season having recorded five catches, two of which went for touchdowns, but saw relatively little playing time, a trend that has continued all season long. Despite the lack of snaps, Moore has now caught four touchdowns in the last four games. Drew…read more

Moore came up big Monday night for the Saints, catching five passes for 54 yards and scoring touchdowns from four- and ten-yards out.

Analysis: After catching only one pass last game in Atlanta, Moore bounced back Monday night. He has been inconsistent all year long and has yet to crack 100 yards in any game this season, but has four touchdowns in his last four games. He is prone to a stinker, as is any wideout not named Marques Colston on…read more

Moore caught one pass for 28 yards on three targets in Sunday's win in Atlanta.

Analysis: Sunday highlighted why it is difficult to trust Moore in fantasy leagues. He had scored in two straight weeks but was rarely spotted Sunday even though Drew Brees attempted 43 passes. With the last of the NFL bye weeks approaching in Week 11 (in which the Saints are on), there is less need for…read more

Lance Moore: (Hamstring) Active Against Falcons

Moore (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, the Saints' official Twitter feed reports.

Analysis: He didn't practice Thursday or Friday, but is trying to give it a go against the Falcons. Keep in mind that all 32 teams are in action Sunday, so there are probably more reliable alternatives at your disposal given the uncertainty of Moore's role in Week 10.

Moore (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta but did not practice Thursday or Friday.

Analysis: Given his lack of practice, Moore seems likely to miss Sunday's game.

Moore (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Mike Triplett reports.

Analysis: While the Saints employed a rare run-heavy game plan, Moore has frequently seen significantly fewer snaps than the other Saints receivers. It is worth repeating: while he has now caught touchdown passes in two straight weeks, he remains a risky fantasy play due to his inconsistent playing time and…read more
