The Saints and TE Juwan Johnson agreed to terms on a 3-year, 30.75M deal that maxes out at $34.5M, per The Insiders. He gets 21.25m guaranteed. An important move in New Orleans.

A perennial favorite in the TE streaming streets, Johnson finally hit 50 receptions last season (50-548-3) and should be in the running to put up modest-to-good numbers, even with Hill and Moreau in town. He's not draftable in typical redraft leagues, but makes a good TE3/stack option in best ball.

The Saints have placed TE Taysom Hill (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.

We're projecting for Johnson to be the biggest beneficiary of the hybrid tight end missing the rest of this season, and he makes for a good streaming option for managers in need on this week with six byes.

Dennis Allen says Taysom Hill will be listed as questionable on the injury report and was limited on Friday.

"If he's able to go, he'll be out there."

Hill is always a candidate to stream at TE (where eligible) when he's healthy, but not so much if we're worried about his already-funky snap count. This could be the week he runs in a goal-line touchdown or gets five targets, but it's just as likely that he barely sees the field. He's not a recommended play in Week 3, unless you're truly in need of his boom/bust potential.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson is scheduled to undergo foot surgery next week that will sideline him “a while”. The hope and belief for now is that he will be back for the start of the season.

Taysom Hill needs to be targeted anywhere that has him with TE eligibility. A foot surgery seems more impactful than Johnson coming back by Week 1 but he should still be on fantasy radars with the Saints so bereft of pass-catching talent behind Chris Olave.

WR Chris Olave did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday.

The Saints receiving group is looking very rough heading into Week 15. If Olave ends up missing, it will be difficult to start many names outside of Alvin Kamara.

Moreau isn't exactly an unknown quantity after four seasons and 12 touchdowns with the Raiders. Nobody quite knew when Moreau would be returning to football, however, after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the offseason. It would be impossible to know that detail based on his play in OTAs and minicamp. Moreau was a frequent target of quarterback Derek Carr throughout practice and participated in 11-on-11 drills without limitations. He worked with both the first and second team during OTAs and could compete with Juwan Johnson for snaps as the team's No. 1 or No. 2 tight end.

As seems to be the case every season since the Jimmy Graham years, the Saints TE situation looks like it will be muddy once again in 2023. Taysom Hill likely has the biggest ceiling, being that he will line up all over the field. Moreau and Johnson will look to cannibalize fantasy production away from one another, making them both undraftable.

Free agent tight end Foster Moreau, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma earlier this year, has agreed to a contract with the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed, but agent Joe Linta told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Moreau's contract is for three years and worth $12 million, including $8 million guaranteed and $3 million in incentives.

Moreau has the go-ahead to return to the football field next week. The Saints will begin their OTA sessions on May 23, although it's unclear yet how much he'll participate. The Saints have been in need of a veteran tight end after trading Adam Trautman to the Denver Broncos during the 2023 draft. Trautman told ESPN that he requested a trade in February and that the Saints brought in some veteran tight ends during free agency, including Moreau.

Howard, 28, has slumped the past two seasons statistically, but a move to the Raiders could be the fresh start he needs to get back on track. At the least, he can be a situational down-field threat for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo while also lending a hand as a solid run blocker.

This infringes on what incumbent Foster Moreau does well, so we could be in for a long season for anyone looking for production from either option. Howard hasn't had more than 16 catches in a season since 2019.

The Giants are finalizing a trade to acquire star TE Darren Waller from the Raiders.

Foster Moreau has filled in admirably for Waller over the years, so this could make him a feasible back-end TE1 if the move goes through and the team re-signs him. Bellinger's fantasy value clearly takes a nosedive.

Josh McDaniels said the Raiders will meet this morning to discuss the status of TE Darren Waller and WR Hunter Renfrow, who are both eligible to come back from injured reserve this week. He sounded concerned about the idea of playing them without the opportunity to practice.

As Reed went on to tweet, it's a short week since they play the Rams on Thursday. Typically, teams just go through walkthrough instead of practice in those situations. The Raiders were off Monday before getting back to work on Tuesday and Wednesday. Sounds like both are ready to go, but the short week will keep them out.
