Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Records three more catches
Ray-Ray McCloud caught three of four targets for 30 yards and rushed once for six yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.McCloud has caught exactly three passes in four of the last five weeks, but other than a touchdown in Week 9, he doesn't have much fantasy production to show for it, totaling 106 yards on 14 receptions (18 targets) during that stretch. Drake London and Darnell Mooney are the undisputed top wideouts in Atlanta, while RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts will see their fair share of targets, as well. Even with Kirk Cousins outperforming expectations following an Achilles injury, it'll be difficult for McCloud to generate enough attention to be a viable fantasy option on a weekly basis.

Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Finds end zone Sunday
Ray-Ray McCloud caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys. He added seven yards on his only carry.It was the journeyman wideout's first TD of the season and just the second of his career. McCloud has already set a new personal best with 305 receiving yards on the year, and he's caught multiple passes in every game so far in 2024. His role in the Atlanta passing game could grow further in Week 10 if Drake London (hip) ends up being sidelined, but McCloud will still be an intriguing dart throw regardless against a reeling Saints defense.

Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Four touches against Tampa Bay
Ray-Ray McCloud caught all three of his targets for nine yards and added one carry for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.McCloud's three targets in the contest were tied for a season low, and the veteran was unable to get much going as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney. As long as both London and Mooney are healthy, McCloud will find it difficult to produce consistently in a passing attack with several mouths to feed. Through eight games, the 28-year-old wideout has recorded 29 receptions for 277 yards and has yet to find the end zone. Up next for McCloud is a Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys.

Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Secondary role in double-digit win
Ray-Ray 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 Atlanta 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: Cleared for Thursday
Ray-Ray 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 Atlanta 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
Ray-Ray 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
Ray-Ray 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 Atlanta 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
Ray-Ray 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.
