Ray-Ray McCloud News
Free-agent wide receiver/return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud signed an undisclosed two-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, according to a source. McCloud led the NFL in punt-return yards (367) and also caught 39 passes for 277 yards on 66 targets in 16 games (five starts) for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. The 25-year-old is likely to be used more on special teams in San Francisco, as he'll be behind receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and tight end George Kittle on the depth chart. McCloud is probably only worth a look in fantasy drafts in leagues that give points for return yardage. In 2020, he had 20 catches for 77 yards on 22 targets in 16 games (two starts) for the Steelers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers activated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. McCloud was initially placed on the COVID-19 list on Nov. 23. He has 19 catches for 141 yards (7.4 yards per catch) on the season and has been the team's main kick returner. McCloud has 21 kickoff returns for 503 yards and has also returned 22 punts for a total of 194 yards. In a corresponding move, offensive lineman Joe Haeg was put on the COVID-19 list. McCloud had an outlier game in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions when he caught nine of a season-high 12 targets for 63 yards. The Baltimore Ravens present an opportunity for the Steelers pass-catchers down the field, but McCloud is off the fantasy radar as a weekly starting option.
The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver/kick returner Ray-Ray McCloud on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. If McCloud is vaccinated, he could return in time for the Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals if he's asymptomatic and returns two negative tests. The 25-year-old has 19 catches for 141 yards on 24 targets this year and has been the team's primary kick returner. McCloud has 21 kickoff returns for 503 yards and has also returned 22 punts for 194 yards this season. He hasn't been fantasy relevant at all unless your league counts return yardage. If McCloud is inactive this Sunday, Diontae Johnson or James Pierre could handle kick-return duties against Cincinnati.
