Foster Moreau start or sit: Week 7 fantasy football advice

After a frustrating loss to the Houston Texans, the New Orleans Saints look to rebound against another AFC South squad, the Jacksonville Jaguars. In order to do that, they will need some major positive contributions from their key offensive players, including tight end Foster Moreau.

Fantasy Football analysis: Saints TE Foster Moreau

Moreau’s season in New Orleans has seen him battle an ankle injury (among other, bigger health concerns). His ankle has cost him two games and only seven targets so far. It remains pretty unclear how the Saints intend to use the veteran tight end once he fully recovers.

That uncertainty comes on top of the issues facing the Saints offense. Quarterback Derek Carr continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury, putting a governor on the passing game as a result. Moreau’s lack of opportunities means Carr’s health only affects him so much, but that doesn’t bode well for Moreau’s fantasy production.
