• Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Solid production in finale

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  McCloud secured four of seven targets for 66 yards in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday. With Darnell Mooney (shoulder) sidelined, McCloud was able to finish a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Drake London. The solid season-ending performance was a fitting final installment on McCloud's career-best campaign, one in which he posted a 62-686-1 line across 17 regular-season games after previously topping out at 39 receptions and 277 yards in terms of single-season highs. McCloud will head into his second season in Atlanta likely poised to reprise his No. 3 receiver role.

  McCloud caught his lone target for a 13-yard gain and rushed once for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Commanders. McCloud played 40 of the Falcons' 64 offensive snaps but wasn't especially involved. Though he appears to have settled in as Atlanta's No. 3 receiver of late, McCloud is averaging just 2.6 targets per contest over the past three weeks. That level of volume isn't enough to make McCloud a dependable fantasy option heading into Atlanta's Week 18 game against Carolina.

• Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Three grabs in big win

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  McCloud caught three of four targets for 19 yards and added eight rushing yards on his only carry in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants. With rookie Michael Penix getting his first start at quarterback, the Falcons' passing game took a back seat to Bijan Robinson and the team's defense, and there wasn't much volume available for McCloud. Drake London did leave the game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring issue, however, and while initial reports suggest the injury isn't serious, his absence for a Week 17 clash with the Commanders would thrust McCloud into a larger role. The 28-year-old wideout has already set new career highs in 2024 with 57 catches for 607 yards on 79 targets.

• Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: One grab in win

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  McCloud caught one of three targets for 14 yards in Monday's 15-9 win over the Raiders. McCloud could not get much going in Week 15 as the Falcons' passing attack continued to struggle with quarterback Kirk Cousins at the helm. Monday's game marked the first contest in which the veteran wideout failed to record multiple catches this season. McCloud will look to bounce back in a Week 16 matchup against the Giants, but he'll be receiving targets from Michael Penix after the Falcons announced Tuesday that the rookie will be the team's starting quarterback moving forward.

  12/17/2024 • By Heath Cummings

  McCloud was a dud in Week 14, but he had double-digit PPR Fantasy points in three straight games before that. He's a deep PPR league add for teams that can start three wide receivers and a flex.
