Foster Moreau

Raiders TE making the rounds

Foster Moreau has been making some free agent visits lately, reportedly visiting the Bengals (who lost Hayden Hurst to Carolina) and the Saints (who re-signed Juwan Johnson). A return to the Raiders also seems possible with them having traded away Darren Waller.

I don't think anyone needs to get really excited about Moreau's landing spot, but there's some potential if he signs somewhere to be their primary tight end, either back in Las Vegas or perhaps Cincinnati. He's had some productive games when given the opportunity.

As a rookie back in 2019, he was effective with his opportunities in the red zone. He caught just 21 passes that season, but 5 went for touchdowns.

He didn't do much in 2020, with Waller having a monster season (107 catches). But with Waller missing 14 games the last two years, Moreau has had more chances, and a number of solid games along the way. A viable starter in PPR leagues in a lot of those weeks.

In his career, Moreau has played more than half the snaps in a total of 28 games. He's had at least 8 fantasy points (PPR) in 10 of those; double-digits six times. Not the kind of big numbers you rush to the podium for, but a lot of serviceable games at a tough position to fill in fantasy leagues, when he's played enough.

Table shows all the games the last four years where Moreau has been on the field for at least half the snaps. Data from pro-football-reference.com was used in compiling this table.
