Foster

Moreau

$6.3 million is guaranteed. The two sides were reportedly in discussions earlier in the day, with the Texans ultimately deciding Moreau was a good fit. He’ll join a roster with holdovers Dalton Schultz, Cade Stover, and Brevin Jordan, with Harrison Bryant also an unrestricted free agent. Moreau’s 2025 season ended on injured reserve due to an ankle injury after his 2024 season ended early due to a knee injury. Now entering his age-29 season, Moreau’s fantasy value is far from appealing in all formats.

Moreau has shown some versatility in the past, catching up to 33/420/2 in his time with the Raiders, but was targeted just 10 times in 253 offensive snaps with the Saints after coming back from a late-season knee injury in 2024. He’ll turn 29 in May.

A knee injury ended Moreau’s 2024 season and kept him sidelined this year in Weeks 1-4. He appeared in 11 games this season, catching 7-of-10 targets for 70 yards. He turns 29 this summer and is an impending free agent. Even if he signs with a team this summer, he does not need to be considered in re-draft formats next year.

With Foster, Mauro and Tyson Hill also both active, the Saints will have their top three tight ends all active for the same game for the first time this season. What that means for all of their usage remains to be seen, but it’s hard to start any of them with confidence this week until we see how the Saints deploy them. The Saints declared OG Cesar Ruiz, CB Isaac Yiadom, DE Chase Young, DT Khristian Boyd, OT Xavier Truss, and RB Devin Neal inactive.

The team also activated Taysom Hill, setting the stage for both to make their season debuts against the Giants. It could not have come at a better time considering fellow tight end Juwan Johnson is listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

It’s a good sign for both that they practiced all week without setbacks. If Juwan Johnson (ankle) is down in Week 5, one of them could walk in to a big role right away in Kellen Moore’s offense. It’ll probably be Saturday before we know if that’s the case, as each would need to be officially activated off the PUP list. Hill obviously has some fantasy upside if healthy, but he’s also a 35-year-old coming off a serious knee injury. Tread carefully.

They maintain the same status. We don’t yet know if Hill or Moreau will be active for Week 5 — either could cut deeply into Juwan Johnson’s fantasy value if officially activated from the PUP list after being designated to return on Monday. The Saints have a 21-day window from Monday to do it, so there’s not necessarily an urgency to activating Hill or Moreau for Week 5.

Moreau and Taysom Hill (knee) both returned to practice today, while Weeks 1-4 starting TE Juwan Johnson (ankle) was sidelined. It is too early to tell if Moreau will be active for the Saints’ Week 5 game against the Giants, though Moreau really does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues at this time.

That will open a 21-day window for Moreau’s return when it happens. It sounds like there’s a chance that both Moreau and Taysom Hill could be back in the near future for the Saints. Is it a cancelling of the Juwan Johnson coming out party? We’ll have to see. Johnson managers are probably going to have at least a few additional weeks of respite, but this seems like it will loom over his rest of season value.

He’ll miss at least the first four games, as expected. Moreau didn’t participate in the preseason or training camp and is no guarantee to come back when first eligible. He started 17 games last year and had 32 catches for 413 yards and five scores. Juwan Johnson figures to be New Orleans’ starting tight end this season.
