  • Logs three targets Week 10

    Moreau caught two of three targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 17-7 victory against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Moreau more than doubled his targets this season, and he now has three catches on five targets across six games this season. New Orleans had to disperse the targets that previously went to WR2 Rashid Shaheed, who was traded away Tuesday. Moreau finished tied with running backs Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal and wideout Devaughn Vele for the team's third-most targets. TE1 Juwan Johnson logged the team's second-most targets (four). Over the previous two years, Moreau accrued 53 catches for 606 yards…read more

  • Zero catches in 2025 debut

    Moreau tallied zero targets during Sunday's 26-14 win versus the Giants.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Making season debut Sunday

    Moreau (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Saints.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Off PUP list, still questionable

    The Saints activated Moreau (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants.

    Analysis: 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.

    The Saints list Moreau (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Moreau missed the Saints' first four games of the season and remains on the PUP list while continuing his recovery from January knee surgery, but he could be on the cusp of making his 2025 debut. The Saints opened his 21-day evaluation window Wednesday, and he's now turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 5 prep.

  • Set to return to practice

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Moved to reserve/PUP list

    The Saints placed Moreau (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Starts camp on PUP

    The Saints placed Moreau (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Missing offseason program

    Head coach Kellen Moore told reporters Thursday that Moreau (knee) won't participate in the team's offseason program, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Moreau is still recovering from the knee injury sustained in early January, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined for the Saints' offseason activities. Since coming over from Las Vegas ahead of the 2023 season, Moreau has appeared in 32 regular-season games, recording 53 receptions for 606 yards and six touchdowns. He played 711 offensive snaps in 2024 -- the second-most of his career -- so once he returns from injury, Moreau is likely to compete for a role as one of the Saints' top vertical…read more

    Moreau, who suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, will have to undergo surgery, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Injured in regular-season finale

    Moreau reeled in all four targets for 31 yards before sustaining a knee injury during Sunday's 27-19 defeat versus the Buccaneers.

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.

  • Finds end zone Sunday

    Moreau caught three of five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: The Saints' top two tight ends, Moreau and Juwan Johnson, combined for a 9-113-1 line on 15 targets -- volume that was due to rookie QB Spencer Rattler being under center, as well as the fact that the team's wide receiver room has been gutted by injuries. Moreau could be leaned on again in Week 18 against the Buccaneers, especially with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) being the latest WR to go down for New Orleans.

  • Team-high yardage total in loss

    Moreau secured two of three targets for 33 yards in the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

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.

    Analysis: 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.

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.

    Moreau finished with two receptions (on four targets) for six yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Moreau notched three receptions (on four targets) for 50 yards during Sunday's 35-14 victory against the Browns.

    Analysis: Moreau briefly exited with a shoulder injury in the first half before returning in the second quarter. The tight end logged three catches in the second half as the Saints scored over 30 points for the first time since Week 1. He did not see any targets in the red zone though, as fellow tight end Juwan Johnson scored the team's shortest touchdown with a one-yard reception to go up 28-14 in the fourth quarter.

    Analysis: Moreau exited in the first quarter after being slammed to the ground on an attempted catch, and he was initially deemed questionable to return. However, the tight end has since been able to re-enter the contest. Moreau will thus be able to continue working as part of the Saints' tight-end trio along with Juwan Johnson and Taysom Hill.

    Analysis: Moreau logged two or fewer targets for the sixth game in a row.

This didn't change despite the barrage of injuries to the team's wide receiver room, as Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) was inactive while Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) are all on IR.

He still split playing time and targets with fellow tight end Juwan Johnson, who was targeted on the ensuring two-point conversion following Moreau's touchdown.

However, the latter totaled four more targets than Moreau.

The 27-year-old also recorded a team-long 41-yard reception on a deep pass from rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who was starting in place of an injured Derek Carr (oblique).

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.

    Analysis: 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 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

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…read more

  • Plays smaller role in loss

    Moreau totaled one reception (on two targets) for 13 yards during Thursday's 30-22 defeat to the Rams.

    Analysis: After back-to-back weeks as the 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…read more

  • Tallies 13 yards in win

    Moreau hauled in three of five targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 24-6 victory against the Giants.

    Analysis: 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 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…read more

  • Plays slightly bigger role Week 14

    Moreau logged two catches (on two targets) for eight yards during Sunday's 28-6 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Moreau played at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps for the second week in a row after doing so just twice across his first nine appearances of the year. The 26-year-old likely saw a bump in playing time due to the absence of Taysom Hill (foot), combined with a smaller showing for Juwan Johnson, as the latter played just 40 percent of the snaps after being limited with a quad issue during Week 14 prep. Moreau and Johnson still tied with 37-year-old tight end Jimmy Graham in terms of both…read more

  • Pair of catches in Week 13 loss

    Moreau brought in both targets for 28 yards in the Saints' 33-28 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: On a day when Rashid Shaheed's absence due to a thigh injury further atrophied a Saints receiving corps already down Michael Thomas (IR-knee), Moreau stepped up to provide some pass-catching production in the narrow loss. The fifth-year pro's two catches were his first since Week 9, while his yardage total was his second highest in a game this season. Moreau is likely to continue in a strict complementary role with sparse opportunity during a Week 14 home matchup against the Panthers.

  • No targets in Week 12

    Moreau played 31 of the Saints' 72 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 24-15 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Despite playing at least 30 percent of the snaps in each of the Saints' last four games, Moreau has drawn just one target in that span while he's been deployed primarily as a blocker. Moreau's downturn in involvement in the passing game has coincided with the return of top tight end Juwan Johnson, who has played the past four games after being sidelined from Weeks 4 through 7 with a calf injury.

  • Solid outing marred by bad drop

    Moreau accrued three receptions (on four targets) for 33 yards during Thursday's 31-24 loss against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Moreau once again slotted in as the Saints' top tight end with usual starter Juwan Johnson (calf) out for the fourth week in a row. The 26-year-old got out to a strong start in this step-up spot, but he failed to corral a potential game-tying touchdown pass from Derek Carr on the Saints' final offensive series.

    Moreau reeled in all four targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 20-13 defeat against the Texans.

    Analysis: Moreau benefited from this uncharacteristically passing-centric outing for the Saints' offense, as he logged more than two receptions and 20 receiving yards for the first time this season. Fellow tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) missed his third game in a row while quarterback Derek Carr attempted a season-high 50 passes. Therefore, it's not surprising that Moreau would see an uptick in his production in this contest. The 26-year-old logged the team's fifth-most targets and sixth-most receiving…read more

    Analysis: After missing the past two games with an ankle injury, Moreau stepped up into a starting role with usual No. 1 tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) sidelined Week 5. As a result, the 26-year-old was the beneficiary of a special goal-line package that resulted in the Saints' final touchdown of the game, catching a shovel pass on the move before barreling his way into the end zone for a six-yard score in the fourth quarter. This marked just the third target and reception for Moreau this season. While…read more

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).

  • Career-high 54 targets in 2022

    Moreau closed out his 2022 campaign with 33 catches for 420 yards and two touchdowns on 54 targets in 15 games.

    Analysis: 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.

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

However, he's now been held to just one reception in two of the team's past three games.

He did make the most of his one reception and now has one gain of 20 or more yards in each of his last three games.

    Analysis: Moreau was the Raiders' primary tight end for the third consecutive game in the absence of Darren Waller (hamstring). He did the majority of his damage on a 30-yard reception early in the second quarter, which helped set up a long touchdown pass to Davante Adams. In each of the last three games without Waller, Moreau has seen a minimum of five targets, though that's translated to only 101 total yards.

    Analysis: Though Waller practiced on a limited basis throughout the week, the Raiders aren't taking any chances with their top tight end, who will miss his third consecutive game. Moreau proved to be an adequate fill-in option in the previous two contests, putting together a 9-59-0 receiving line on 14 targets between those games.

The 25-year-old previously returned to practice in a limited fashion before sitting out Las Vegas' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Moreau appears to be dealing with a knee injury following Sunday's loss to the Titans, though the exact nature and severity of this issue is unclear. The 25-year-old recorded six receptions for 74 yards while playing 90 offensive snaps as the Raiders' No. 2 tight end over the first three weeks of the season. If this issue continues to keep Moreau out of practice Thursday and Friday, then Jesper Horsted will step up behind Darren Waller during Sunday's game against the Broncos.

  • Another three-catch performance

    Moreau caught three passes for 44 yards on five targets in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Moreau matched Darren Waller in both receptions and targets, but the former paced the Raiders' TE unit with 44 yards to Waller's 22. Moreau also played half of the team's 70 offensive snaps, though his fantasy value remains limited with Waller at full strength ahead of a Week 4 matchup against the Broncos.

  • Three catches in overtime loss

    Moreau caught three passes for 30 yards on four targets in Sunday's 29-23 overtime loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Moreau, who logged 18 offensive snaps in the season opener, saw an uptick in playing time against Arizona on Sunday while the Raiders built an early lead. The team's No. 2 tight end took advantage with three receptions in the first half, though Darren Waller still managed to steal the spotlight as he racked up six catches for 50 yards and a score on eight targets. Moreau's fantasy relevance remains limited to the deepest of leagues as the Raiders head to Tennessee for their Week 3 matchup.

  • Not targeted in opener

    Moreau was held without a target in the Raiders' season opener against the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Moreau saw the field for just 18 of the Raiders' 58 offensive snaps, and he was uninvolved in the passing game behind No. 1 tight end Darren Waller, who caught four passes for 79 yards on six targets. Moreau's role should remain relatively unchanged against the Cardinals in Week 2 with Waller at full strength.

  • One grab in preseason opener

    Moreau brought in his only target for 10 yards during the Raiders' 27-11 preseason win over the Jaguars in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

    Analysis: With Darren Waller (undisclosed) sitting out the game, Moreau drew the start at tight end. Looking ahead to the coming season, the 2019 fourth-round pick will be aiming to build on the career-best 30-373-3 line he logged over 17 games in 2021 while slotting in as Waller's direct backup and likely sharing the field with him on occasion in two-tight-end sets as well.

  • Posts 50 receiving yards Sunday

    Moreau caught two passes on as many targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 35-32 overtime win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Despite fellow tight end Darren Waller's return from a five-game absence, Moreau managed to record his longest reception of the season with a 44-yard pickup on the Raiders' opening drive. He finishes the regular season with 30 catches for 373 yards and three touchdowns on 44 targets in 17 contests. The LSU product, who enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2022, will look to make an impact behind Waller in a wild-card matchup against the Bengals on Saturday.

  • Role slips

    Moreau recorded one reception on one target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Moreau served as the Raiders' top tight end once again in the absence of Darren Waller (knee/back/illness), though he failed to take on a significant role. His lone reception came on the team's final drive, though it did help move the ball down the field for the game-winning field goal. Looking ahead, Moreau could be even more limited in his role in Week 18 against the Chargers if Waller is ready to return to the field.

  • Leads Raiders in receiving

    Moreau caught all four of his targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: He led the Raiders in receiving yards on the afternoon, although Zay Jones saw more targets and had more receptions, and Hunter Renfrow was on the other end of Derek Carr's only TD. Moreau has managed a respectable 14-145-0 line on 19 targets over the last three games, but his run of modest fantasy value could end in Week 17 if Darren Waller (knee/back) is ready to return to action.

  • Set to fill in for Waller again

    Moreau is in line to continue to head the Raiders' tight end corps in Sunday's game against the Broncos, with Darren Waller (knee/back) inactive.

    Analysis: With Waller missing his fourth straight game, Moreau will look to build off his effort in this past Monday's win over the Browns, in which he caught seven of his nine targets for 65 yards, while playing all 69 of the Raiders' snaps on offense. He figures to remain busy once again Sunday, with the team down another key pass catcher (Bryan Edwards/reserve/COVID-19 list) in addition to Waller.

  • On track to start again

    Moreau (abdomen/thigh) was cleared from the injury report Friday, while teammate Darren Waller was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Denver.

    Analysis: With Waller likely out for a fourth straight game, Moreau will look to pick up where he left off last week when he caught seven of nine targets for 65 yards in a win over Cleveland. The 24-year-old TE was less impressive the two weeks before that, catching only four of nine targets for 47 yards while playing 85 and 98 percent of snaps on offense. He's no Waller, of course, but Moreau has filled an every-down role nonetheless with his talented teammate unavailable.

    Moreau (abdomen/thigh) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Moreau was on the field for all 69 of the Raiders' snaps on offense in Monday's win over the Browns, so his listed limitations Wednesday could simply be a case of the team acknowledging that he came out of a busy Week 15 with some aches and pains. Meanwhile, Darren Waller (knee/back) logged a 'DNP' Wednesday, so provided Moreau's injury issues aren't a big concern, there's a decent chance he could head the Raiders' tight end corps again Sunday against the Broncos.

  • Seven catches in Monday's win

    Moreau caught seven of nine targets for 65 yards in Monday's 16-14 win over Cleveland.

    Analysis: Moreau filled in admirably for Darren Waller (knee/back) in this one, leading the Raiders in catches and tying Zay Jones for the team lead in targets while trailing Jones by two receiving yards for the game's high-water mark. If Waller isn't ready to return Week 16 against the Broncos, Moreau would retain the starting tight end job and the attention from quarterback Derek Carr that comes with that role.

    Moreau and the Raiders will no longer play the Browns on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

    Analysis: Though Las Vegas capped Moreau's reps throughout the week, he displayed enough progress in his recovery from the abdominal injury for the Raiders to give him the green light for the weekend. Meanwhile, Darren Waller (knee/back) failed to practice in any capacity and will miss his third straight game, paving the way for Moreau to pick up another start.

Moreau still appears to be in better shape than No. 1 tight end Darren Waller (knee/back), who hasn't practiced in any capacity since he was forced out of the Raiders' Week 12 win in Dallas.

  • Banged up following Sunday's loss

    Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said Moreau is day-to-day with a muscle strain suffered in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While picking up starts the past two weeks in place of top tight end Darren Waller, Moreau has seen heavy snap shares on offense (84 and 98 percent), but he's produced an underwhelming 4-47-0 line on nine targets. Both of Las Vegas' top options at the position are now looking iffy for a Saturday game in Cleveland in Week 15, as Bisaccia suggested that Waller will be viewed as questionable heading into that contest.

    Moreau recorded three receptions on six targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Moreau earned his second consecutive start with Darren Waller (knee) sidelined. Though he improved on the one-target performance from Week 13, Moreau was limited to only short gains on his trio of catches. In two games in Waller's absence, Moreau has failed to make an impact by logging a combined four receptions for 47 yards.

    Moreau will serve as the Raiders' top tight end Sunday at Kansas City with Darren Waller (knee/back) ruled out for the contest, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: In Waller's absence this past Sunday against Washington, Moreau earned 84 percent of Las Vegas' snaps on offense, but he only hauled in one of three targets for 34 yards. Moreau again is poised for a large workload, which he'll seek to take advantage of versus a Chiefs defense that has surrendered 8.2 yards per target (second most in the NFL) and six touchdowns (10th most) to tight ends in 12 games this season.

  • One reception in Waller's absence

    Moreau caught one of three targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 17-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Moreau's three targets all came within a two-drive span during the third quarter, so he was relatively uninvolved in the Raiders' underwhelming aerial attack throughout much of Sunday's contest despite the absence of No. 1 tight end Darren Waller (back/knee). Moreau has caught just three total passes since the team's Week 8 bye, but he could see another inflated snap count at Kansas City in Week 14 if Waller remains sidelined.

    Analysis: Waller wasn't able to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday, so barring some dramatic improvement leading up to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be inactive for the second time this season. When Waller sat out Week 7 against the Eagles with an ankle injury, Moreau stepped in to play all of the Raiders' 63 offensive snaps and finished with a 6-60-1 receiving line on six targets.

  • Held to one catch in Dallas

    Moreau caught one of five targets for three yards in the Raiders' 36-33 overtime victory over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

    Analysis: Moreau played a season-high 77 offensive snaps against Dallas as No. 1 tight end Darren Waller exited the contest with a knee injury. The latter is now considered week-to-week, so Moreau could be in line for a significant role against Washington in Week 13. When Waller missed the Raiders' Week 7 tilt versus the Eagles, Moreau was able to capitalize with six catches on as many targets for 60 yards and a touchdown.

    Moreau played 21 of the Raiders' 54 offensive snaps in Sunday's 41-14 loss to the Chiefs but didn't draw a target or record any other statistics.

    Analysis: Since putting up a 6-60-1 receiving line on six targets in a starting role during the Raiders' Week 7 win over the Eagles, Moreau predictably has seen his opportunities decline following top tight end Darren Waller's return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. In Las Vegas' two games since its Week 8 bye, Moreau has ran only 23 pass routes and hasn't been targeted, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press.

    Moreau caught all six of his targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Darren Waller (ankle) was ruled out just before kickoff, allowing Moreau to step into the No. 1 role and lead the Raiders in receiving yards while scoring his second TD of the year. With the team heading into its Week 8 bye, however, Waller will get extra time to recover, likely denying Moreau another shot at a significant workload.

  • Should take over No. 2 TE job

    Moreau should take on a larger role in 2021, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Jason Witten retiring, Moreau should return to the No. 2 TE role, a spot he held throughout most of his 2019 rookie season. He logged 371 offensive snaps and 21 catches in 13 games as a rookie, before dropping to 256 snaps and seven receptions in 2020. The 2019 fourth-round pick won't see many targets if Darren Waller stays healthy next year, but Moreau does appear capable of handling a larger role if the opportunity arises, as his 34 targets in the NFL have yielded 314 yards and seven TDs.

    Moreau was not targeted during Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old is without a catch since Week 4 and hasn't been targeted since Week 8, so he's clearly not a factor in Las Vegas' passing game. Moreau should continue to see a handful of offensive snaps per contest behind Darren Waller and Jason Witten.

    Analysis: Moreau has garnered a steady workload of 10 to 15 offensive snaps in each of his appearances this season, save for a Week 2 anomaly in which he accumulated 32 snaps against New Orleans. The LSU product has flashed promise with two catches of 24-plus yards, but he otherwise has registered just two receptions for nine yards on the year. Starting tight end Darren Waller has dominated the position, and the entire team for that matter, with 55 targets through seven weeks.

    Analysis: Moreau was on the field for 19 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, but it was tight ends Darren Waller (eight targets) and Jason Witten (one target) who benefitted from action in the passing game. The LSU product attracted multiple targets in nine of his 13 appearances last year, but the arrival of Witten has potential to evaporate Moreau's already-limited role as a pass-catcher.

He'll look to find the end zone again in Week 12 against the Jets, but fellow TE Darren Waller's prominent role is a significant barrier to Moreau's fantasy relevance.

  • Catches TD in win

    Moreau caught one of his two targets for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Moreau saw a deep target in the first quarter but couldn't reel it in. He wouldn't see the ball again until the second play of the fourth quarter when his catch in the end zone gave the Raiders a 24-17 lead. The rookie has managed just 14 catches on the season, but three have been scores. He has seen more than three targets just once this season yet will look to break that trend Week 10 against the Chargers.
