Ray-Ray McCloud III
WR - Atlanta Falcons
82°Atlanta Falcons free agent acquisition WR Ray-Ray McCloud III has been running with the first team and is "firmly" in the starting slot receiver role.
Fantasy Impact
McCloud saw limited moments of success in San Francisco offensively, though he was primarily utilized as a special teamer, particularly as a returner. In two seasons with the 49ers, he never saw over a 28% offensive snap share, but the 27-year-old had 378 receiving yards between his pair of campaigns in the Bay Area and has averaged 259 scrimmage yards per season over the last three years as a part-time player. He can provide base-level slot play while adding as a return specialist in Atlanta.
Ray-Ray McCloud III reportedly saw first-team reps in Falcons minicamp.
Fantasy Impact
McCloud was expected to primarily hold a role in special teams, but he also saw first-team reps in camp. He is unlikely to hold much fantasy value unless Drake London or Darnell Mooney miss time, but could be a player to monitor on waivers throughout the season.
San Francisco WR/KR/PR Ray-Ray McCloud III is being placed on the team's injured reserve list with a rib injury.
Fantasy Impact
McCloud leads the 49ers in kick returns and punt returns while playing a respectable 25% of the offensive snaps as a WR, making him a versatile role player for the 49ers. With no exact replacement, McCloud's production will likely need to be replaced in aggregate by other players. In Week 13 when McCloud was out, Ronnie Bell handled PR duties and Deebo Samuel handled KR duties, while veteran WR Chris Conley — who signed with the active roster — can fill in as a depth WR.
49ers WR Ray-Ray McCloud III is officially inactive for a Week 13 matchup with the Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
McCloud was considered questionable with a rib injury heading into the weekend. His absence will be felt in the return game as Ronnie Bell will likely have to fill in for McCloud in an important matchup with the Eagles.
Ray-Ray McCloud III caught two of three targets for 20 yards in a 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
McCloud caught both of his passes on San Francisco's final drive of the game. The veteran now has six catches for 47 yards on the season. He will face the Bengals in Week 8.
