Foster Moreau Injury Updates | Shark Bites

Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. TE Foster Moreau (ankle) is off the injury report and will be back after missing the last two games. He’ll join Jimmy Graham in the TE corps. Neither is a viable Week 5 fantasy play.

Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow has been placed on IR with an oblique injury. He'll miss at least the next 4 games, making Week 14 his earliest possible return. Renfrow has dealt with a few different injuries this season and averaged just 4.8 targets, 3.5 caches and 32 yards across 6 games. He's cuttable in all redraft leagues. Vegas will now be without Renfrow and TE Darren Waller for at least the next 4 weeks, which should push even more value to RB Josh Jacobs and WR Davante Adams. WR Mack Hollins and TE Foster Moreau should also get target boosts. Keelan Cole figures to take over as the #3 WR but isn't worth adding to fantasy rosters.

Raiders TE Darren Waller has been placed on IR after aggravating his hamstring injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team reportedly expects Waller to make it back when first eligible, but that's not until Week 14. He's a fine stash on fantasy rosters if you have room, but Waller is also cuttable if you're in a squeeze. His absence leaves Foster Moreau as Vegas' lead TE for at least the next 4 games vs. the Colts, Broncos, Seahawks and Chargers. He's posted strong route rates and averaged 6.3 targets, 3.7 catches and 34 yards in 3 games without Waller this season. Consider Moreau a low-end TE1.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. He didn't practice all week, so it's possible that he misses more time. TE Foster Moreau (knee) is off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He'll be Vegas' lead pass-catching TE this weekend and is a lower-end spot-start option. Moreau averaged 4.8 targets, 3.7 catches and 41 yards in 6 games without Waller last year -- although that came in a different offense.

Raiders TE Darren Waller has been placed on the COVID list. He reportedly had a shot to return this week from his knee and back injuries, but he's now unlikely to play vs. the Colts on Sunday. Waller's absence would make TE Foster Moreau a strong spot starter against the league's 31st-ranked TE defense.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on the back issue that's now on the injury report, but this obviously isn't a good start for Waller's chances of returning for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll get another update tomorrow.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Raiders TE Darren Waller is "optimistic" that he'll be able to return for Sunday's game at Kansas City. Waller missed the loss to Washington after leaving the Thanksgiving Day game early with a knee injury. We'll track his progress through this practice week. Foster Moreau disappointed in Waller's absence, with just 1 catch among 3 targets vs. Washington.

Raiders interim HC Rich Bisaccia called TE Darren Waller "week-to-week" with the knee injury he suffered on Thanksgiving. That suggests that Waller is unlikely to play vs. Washington on Sunday. We'll keep an eye on him this week, but fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 13. TE Foster Moreau would be a viable replacement after posting a 6-60-1 line when Waller missed Week 7

Raiders TE Darren Waller suffered a knee injury in the 1st half of Thursday's game vs. the Cowboys and won't return. We'll look for an update on his status. TE Foster Moreau will be a viable fantasy starter if Waller misses more time.
