Gets two targets in loss
Moreau reeled in both targets for 38 yards during Thursday's 33-10 loss against the Broncos.
Analysis: Moreau logged exactly two catches on exactly two targets for the third week in a row. He continued to play almost as many offensive snaps (42) as fellow tight end Juwan Johnson (51). However, the latter totaled four more targets than Moreau. The Saints have started to utilize both tight ends more over the last three games, but the absences of starting quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) and do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) have severely impacted the team's overall offensive production. With…read more

Catches two passes versus Tampa Bay
Moreau hauled in both of his targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 51-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Moreau logged more than 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 1. 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 Saints appeared to use their tight ends more Week 6, though Juwan Johnson saw more of the benefits with three catches on three targets for 48 yards. Johnson has seen more consistent targets over the last three games while Moreau has totaled…read more

Hits pay dirt in loss
Moreau corralled both of his targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-13 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: 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
Moreau accrued zero targets during Sunday's 26-24 defeat against the Falcons.
Analysis: 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…read more

Serves as TE1 again
Moreau totaled one reception (on two targets) for two yards during Sunday's 15-12 loss versus the Eagles.
Analysis: 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…read more

Has touchdown wiped away in win
Moreau logged zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 victory over the Cowboys.
Analysis: 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…read more

Good to go
Moreau (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
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.

Puts in full practice
Moreau (concussion) was a full practice participant Thursday.
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. 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
Moreau practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a concussion.
Analysis: 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
Moreau won't return to Sunday's game versus the Panthers due to a head injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
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.

Healthy ahead of Week 1
Moreau is healthy in advance of the 2024 season, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Grabs pass late in win
Moreau gathered in his only target for three yards during Sunday's 48-17 win versus Atlanta.
Analysis: Moreau caught one pass for the third week in a row, though he totaled his fewest receiving yards of any game in which he caught at least one pass this season. The 26-year-old finishes his first campaign in New Orleans with 21 receptions (on 25 targets) for 193 yards and one touchdown across 15 games.

Minor role again Week 17
Moreau caught his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 23-13 victory over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Moreau logged exactly 13 receiving yards for the third week in a row. However, he recorded his lowest of number of targets over this 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…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 now has recorded four targets in back-to-back contests, totaling 66 receiving yards. With hybrid tight end Taysom Hill set to fulfill more of a jack-of-all-trades role, expect…read more

Season-best stat line in loss
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

Catches first TD with NOLA
Moreau gathered in his only target for six yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-0 win against the Patriots.
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

Analysis: 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).

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.

Analysis: 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.

Headed back to No. 2 role
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.

Analysis: 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.

Hauls in clutch TD in OT win
Moreau caught three of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: The tight end had trouble converting his opportunities early, but Moreau came through when it counted, hauling in a five-yard toss from Derek Carr in the back of the end zone with just under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to send the game to OT. Moreau has two touchdowns on the season, both coming in the last three games, and with Darren Waller (hamstring) out for at least one more week, he'll head up the depth chart once again in Week 13 against the Chargers.

Moreau caught three of four targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: With Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve, Moreau once again served as the Raiders' top tight end and hauled in his first TD of the year on a four-yard toss from Derek Carr in the second quarter. Moreau has caught multiple passes in six straight games, although that streak was interrupted by a two-week absence due to a knee injury, and he figures to have a larger role in the offense again in Week 11 against the Broncos.

Gets longer leash as top tight end
Moreau is expected to serve as the Raiders' top tight end for at least the team's next four games with Darren Waller's (hamstring) landing on injured reserve Thursday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Waller has been sidelined since exiting early in a Week 5 loss to the Chiefs with a strained left hamstring, and though he had been a limited participant in practice as recently as Wednesday, he clearly wasn't making as much progress as the Raiders had opened. Las Vegas will opt to shut Waller down for the next month with the hope that it allows him to return for the stretch run of the season in optimal health, but his continued absence in the meantime clears the way for Moreau to dominate the…read more

Manages 42 yards
Moreau recorded two receptions on five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.
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.

Draws another start
Moreau is slated to serve as the Raiders' starting tight end Sunday at Jacksonville with Darren Waller (hamstring) inactive for the contest, Bill Williamson of SilverAndBlackPride.com reports.
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 looks like a low-end startable tight end in the majority of fantasy leagues this week.

Moreau caught six of nine targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Moreau started with Darren Waller (hamstring) sidelined. Although his yardage wasn't anything special, Moreau led the Raiders in targets and ranked second in receptions. A capable fill-in player, Moreau's stock in Week 9's matchup versus the Jaguars will depend on whether Waller can return or not.

In line to fill in for Waller
With Darren Waller (hamstring) inactive, Moreau is in line to see added tight end snaps Sunday against the Saints.
Analysis: With Waller out in Week 7, Moreau caught three of five targets for 28 yards in last weekend's 38-20 win over the Texans. The 2019 fourth-rounder thus represents a Week 8 fantasy lineup option for those who roster Waller or are otherwise scrambling for short-term TE help.

Five targets in win
Moreau caught three of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Moreau drew the start at tight end in his return from a two-game absence while Darren Waller (hamstring) remained on the shelf, and the former finished the contest behind only Davante Adams in targets for the Raiders. Moreau's increased involvement should continue against the Saints in Week 8 if Waller is limited or absent.

With Darren Waller (hamstring) not playing Sunday, Moreau is in line to take on the bulk of the TE reps for the team this weekend.

Analysis: With back-to-back limited sessions under his belt, Moreau is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Limited during practice Wednesday
Moreau (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Despite coming off a bye week, Moreau was once again limited in practice after missing the Raiders' last two games with a knee injury. The 25-year-old previously returned to practice in a limited fashion before sitting out Las Vegas' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs. Moreau will look to increase his practice activity either Thursday or Friday. If he doesn't, the Raiders may be extremely thin at tight end Sunday against the Texans, as starter Darren Waller (hamstring) also sat out practice Wednesday.

Moreau (knee) practiced Wednesday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Moreau sat out two straight games due to a knee injury and is looking to make his return to action following the Raiders' Week 6 bye. Before being ruled out for Week 5, Moreau returned to practice as a limited participant for the first time since the injury. The extent of his participation Wednesday won't be known until Las Vegas releases its first Week 7 injury report, but he'll likely need to log at least one full practice before being cleared for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Analysis: Moreau did manage to practice in limited fashion Saturday, his first practice in two consecutive weeks, but it's entirely possible the tight end could still be unavailable for the AFC West divisional matchup.

Analysis: Moreau picked up the knee injury during the team's Week 3 loss to the Titans and has yet to practice since. He's trending towards a second straight absence Monday in Kansas City, but he'll have three more opportunities to return to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Week 5.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Analysis: Moreau earned his second consecutive start with Darren Waller (knee) sidelined.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

No catches against Buccaneers
Moreau was not targeted on any of his 11 offensive snaps during Sunday's 45-20 loss to Tampa Bay.
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.

Notches one reception vs. Bills
Moreau caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Moreau has played no more than 15 offensive snaps in three of the Raiders' first four contests, but the LSU product has now recorded at least one reception in three consecutive games. Expect fellow tight ends Darren Waller and Jason Witten to continue handling a majority of the work Week 5 at Kansas City, severely limiting Moreau's fantasy relevance.

Scores in New England
Moreau caught two passes on as many targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Moreau caught his first touchdown of the season on a one-yard connection with quarterback Derek Carr as time nearly expired in the first half. The LSU product also collected just the third 20-plus yard reception of his young career Sunday in New England, while starter Darren Waller caught only two of four targets for nine yards.

Uninvolved in passing game Week 1
Moreau did not garner any targets during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Panthers.
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.

Participating without restrictions
Moreau (knee) has been a full participant throughout the early portion of training camp, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Moreau is coming off a season-ending knee injury that limited him to 13 games as a rookie, but he looks on track to kick off Week 1 of the 2020 campaign unimpeded. The LSU product managed to put together an impressive rookie season despite operating as a depth option for the Raiders, hauling in 21 catches for 174 yards and five scores. The added veteran presence of Jason Witten, however, now means that Moreau's sophomore opportunities will be limited to what snaps he's able to earn in a No. 3…read more

Progressing well in recovery
Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said Tuesday that Moreau is "ahead of schedule" in his rehab from the left knee injury he suffered in December, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Moreau, who has been conducting his rehab at his college training facility in Baton Rouge, is expected to be back to full health or close to it by the time the Raiders open training camp. As a rookie last season, Moreau proved to be a quality backup to starting tight end Darren Waller, finishing with 21 grabs on 25 targets for 174 yards and five touchdowns. Moreau's snaps could become less consistent in his second year with the Raiders, however, as Las Vegas not only retained Waller but also…read more

Lands on IR
Moreau (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick out of LSU made an immediate impact on the Raiders' offense. At the time of his injury, Moreau was tied with Tyrell Williams for the most receiving touchdowns on the team (five). Darren Waller will continue working as the team's No. 1 tight end moving forward, and Derek Carrier will bump into the No. 2 role. Coach Jon Gruden wasn't certain about Moreau's status for the 2020 season.

Done for season
Moreau (knee) is ruled out for the rest of the season, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Moreau underwent an MRI on Monday after sustaining a knee injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Titans. The test confirmed ligament damage, so the rookie fourth-round pick will be shut down for the season. Bair also reported that Gruden is unsure about Moreau's status for 2020. Moreau has been a dependable red-zone option for Derek Carr, finishing the season with 21 catches for 174 yards and five touchdowns. Derek Carrier is expected to bump into the No. 2 role behind Darren Waller going…read more

May have ligament damage in knee
Moreau is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday after injuring his knee in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Titans, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
Analysis: Caplan notes that the Raiders fear Moreau may have damaged his ACL against the Titans, but Oakland will await the results of the MRI before determining the tight end's availability for the Week 15 matchup with the Jaguars. Though he's played behind starter Darren Waller all season, Moreau has been one of the NFL's more productive rookie tight ends, hauling in 21 of 25 targets for 174 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games.

Won't return to Sunday's game
Moreau (knee) is ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Moreau was injured after making a catch in the third quarter and looked to be in considerable pain on the training table. The rookie fourth-round pick recorded three catches for 14 yards and a score before exiting the contest. Derek Carrier will bump into the No. 2 tight-end role behind Darren Waller for the time being.

Secures one catch Sunday
Moreau caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Moreau saw just one look from quarterback Derek Carr for a second consecutive week, as the former was overshadowed by No. 1 tight end Darren Waller, who caught seven of nine targets for 100 yards. Moreau has only found the end zone once over the Raiders' past four contests heading into a Week 14 tilt against the Titans.

Tallies one catch in blowout loss
Moreau caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Fellow tight end Darren Waller caught three of six targets for 41 yards as Moreau logged just 19 offensive snaps, while the entire Raiders offense was held in check during this blowout loss. A favorable matchup against the Chiefs awaits in Week 13, but Waller will continue to overshadow Moreau from a fantasy perspective.

Adds fourth TD of season
Moreau caught two passes on as many targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Moreau added his fourth touchdown of the season on a short two-yard completion during the second quarter of Sunday's tilt, but the rookie tight end remains touchdown-dependent with 10 or less receiving yards in four consecutive games. 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.
