2023 Fantasy Outlook
Moreau looked like one of the best available tight ends entering free agency, as he logged 63 catches for 793 yards and five touchdowns across the past two seasons in Las Vegas. His football career was then put on hold in March when the 26-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, he reportedly received a positive health prognosis later on and was able to run routes and catch passes at the start of OTAs after signing a three-year, $12.2 million contract with the Saints in May. Following the team's trade of backup TE Adam Trautman, Moreau should help fill the void behind No. 1 option Juwan Johnson.sa Read Past Outlooks

Moreau (illness) participated in Tuesday's practice, Ross Jackson of Saints News Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran tight end was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma earlier in the offseason but is already a full participant at practice, per Jackson, running routes and catching passes at Tuesday's session. Moreau should be a fixture in New Orleans' offense after inking a three-year, $12.234 million deal to compete with Juwan Johnson for No. 1 tight end duties. Moreau already has familiarity with new Saints QB Derek Carr from their time together with the Raiders.

2019
Moreau caught 30 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns on 44 targets in 17 games last sea-son, but he actually out-snapped fellow tight end Darren Waller as the latter missed six contests due to various knee, ankle and back injuries. Moreau could be in line for another impactful role if Waller's injury concerns remain as he turns 30 years old in September, though receivers Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow also figure to draw plenty of quarterback Derek Carr's attention in the Raiders' aerial attack.
The Raiders sacrificed Moreau's development for yet another Jason Witten goodbye tour in his return from retirement last season, but the former now has a clear path to reclaim the No. 2 role at tight end behind Darren Waller. Moreau is still only 24 years old, but saw his offensive snaps reduced from 378 as a rookie to 255 in Year 2 despite suiting up for three more games. Through two seasons in the league, the 2019 fourth-rounder is averaging just shy of one reception per contest, though he's found the end zone seven times in 29 tilts.
Despite losing a heap of volume to breakout tight end Darren Waller, Moreau managed to lead the Raiders in red zone touchdown receptions with five during his rookie campaign before a knee injury forced the latter to miss Weeks 15-17. The 2019 fourth-rounder appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery as he hopes to be back at full strength for training camp, but the arrival of veteran Jason Witten doesn't bode well for Moreau's upside in the short run.
Acting less desperately than some expected to fill their glaring needs at tight end following Jared Cook's exit to New Orleans, Oakland waited until the fourth round of the draft to select Foster Moreau 137th overall. The LSU product hauled in a pedestrian 46 passes for 550 yards and five touchdowns over his final two collegiate seasons, but Moreau flashed his athleticism at the combine by running the 40-yard dash in 4.66 seconds to accompany a 4.11 shuttle time and 36.5 vertical at 6-4. The Raiders signed 29-year-old veteran Luke Willson as somewhat of a safety net at tight end, but Moreau and Darren Waller could have numerous opportunities to capitalize on their potential given the thinness of the squad's TE corps.
