  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Minimal production in loss

    McCloud caught two of four targets for nine yards during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.

    McCloud played more than 80 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps for a sixth straight game but finished with a season-low nine yards. His fantasy upside remains limited, but McCloud is only seven yards away from tying his season-long, career-high mark of 277 receiving yards, which he set in 2021 with Pittsburgh.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Secondary role in double-digit win

    McCloud caught three of four targets for 30 yards and rushed once for three yards during Sunday's 38-20 win over the Panthers.

    After a season-best performance in Week 5, McCloud's role slightly shrunk as Atlanta leaned on the run game versus Carolina. He played 82 percent of the team's offensive snaps, marking the first time since Week 1 that McCloud didn't play at least 95 percent. The veteran slot receiver remains a key part of the Falcons' new-look offense, but his production has been lackluster, recording 24 catches for 259 yards and zero TDs through six games.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Season-best performance

    McCloud caught six of nine targets for 66 yards during Thursday's 36-30 overtime win over Tampa Bay.

    McCloud played nearly every single offensive snap for a fourth straight game. He recorded season-high marks in receptions, targets and yards, but the veteran has yet to catch a touchdown this season. McCloud set career highs in Pittsburgh during the 2021 season, posting 39 catches for 277 yards. He already has 21 receptions for 229 yards this season. With Rondale Moore (knee) out for the season, McCloud is locked in as Atlanta's No. 3 wideout behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Cleared for Thursday

    McCloud (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay.

    McCloud played 98 percent of Atlanta's snaps on offense in a 26-24 win over the Saints on Sunday, moving his snap share for the season up to 86 percent. He's also seen a surprising amount of the Falcons' targets, with 19 percent share putting him slightly behind wideout Darnell Mooney (21 percent) and well ahead of running back Bijan Robinson (14 percent) and tight end Kyle Pitts (13 percent). Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's extreme reliance on three-wideout sets has been kind to McCloud, who should be ready for another large snap count after the Falcons upgraded him to full participation on Wednesday's practice report.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Limited in practice Tuesday

    McCloud (ankle) is listed as limited on Tuesday's injury report, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    McCloud has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions ahead of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers. If he is able to practice in at least a limited fashion once more, it will bode well for his chances of being available in Week 5. KhaDarel Hodge would figure to see increased work behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney if McCloud is sidelined for the contest.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: DNP on Monday's estimation

    McCloud (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    McCloud caught a season-high six passes for 52 yards in the Falcons' Week 4 win over the Saints, but it appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process. The 28-year-old wideout likely will need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday to have a chance at suiting up Thursday night. If McCloud is unable to go Week 5, expect KhaDarel Hodge to see increased work in Atlanta's wide receiver corps.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Season-high six receptions in win

    McCloud caught six of seven targets for 52 yards during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints. He also returned two kicks for 39 yards.

    Kirk Cousins attempted a season-high 35 passes Sunday, allowing McCloud to notch season highs in targets and receptions. The slot wideout has seen at least five targets in three of the first four games, totaling 146 yards on 13 receptions during those contests. Kyle Pitts was held without a catch on three targets versus New Orleans and hasn't developed a rapport with Cousins yet, and until that happens, McCloud should continue to benefit. McCloud has played all but four of Atlanta's offensive snaps over the past three weeks.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Season-low three targets in loss

    McCloud caught two of three targets for 17 yards and rushed once for 20 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned one kickoff for 28 yards.

    McCloud played 95 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps but finished with season lows in targets, receptions and receiving yards. However, he somewhat salvaged the night with a 20-yard run. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has gotten McCloud involved in the running game in back-to-back games, and the wideout appears to have solidified himself as the clear No. 3 option behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney. However, Kirk Cousins has averaged only 19 completions and 209 passing yards per game thus far, so there isn't much to go around until Atlanta's offense starts clicking on all cylinders.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Secures three receptions in win

    McCloud caught three of five targets for 42 yards during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles. He also rushed once for three yards.

    After leading the Falcons in targets while playing only 48 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1, McCloud played every offensive snap during Monday Night Football. He finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Darnell Mooney (3-88-1) and Drake London (6-54-1). McCloud was also called for an unnecessary roughness penalty after one of his catches in the second quarter, but that didn't impact his role in the second half. While his production and playing time to start the campaign are encouraging, it remains unclear how many viable fantasy wideouts the Falcons' new-look offense can sustain, especially if tight end Kyle Pitts gets going.
