Tight End
Tight end might be the weakest offensive skill position in terms of fantasy football. Currently Darren Waller and Foster Moreau should handle most of the snaps at the position.
Waller stands 6’6″ and ran a 4.4 40, making him a definite size/speed talent. However, he has caught just 18 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns in his career. The size and speed haven’t translated to NFL success.
Moreau was the Raiders fourth round pick in the NFL Draft. Shortly after, he was named as a potential “surprise star”. But for Moreau, his blocking game is much more profound than his receiving game.
During his time at LSU he caught 52 passes for 629 yards and six touchdowns. He never exceeded more than 24 catches and three touchdowns. Moreau also never broke 300 yards during his four years as a Tiger.
Both Moreau and Waller have potential down the line, but for now, are too raw of prospects to be considered valuable.
Bottom Line: Despite the Raiders favoring the run last season, that was because of Jared Cook and a lack of other receiving options. The team improved their receiving room meaning TE shouldn’t be as much of a focus. Waller and Moreau could be left on the waiver wire.
