Ray-Ray McCloud III News
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III broke off a 71-yard jet sweep for a touchdown in the Niners' 37-20 victory over the Washington Commanders. The electric play came halfway through the first quarter to give San Fran a 7-0 lead. It was McCloud's only carry of the game. He was targeted with one pass but did not come down with it. He only had one touch, but his one touch was enough to finish as a WR3 or WR4. Given that his production all came on one big play, McCloud cannot be relied upon in Week 17 against Las Vegas.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III had a surprise showing in the 44-23 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. McCloud caught all four of his targets on the day for 65 yards and his first touchdown of his career. The 26-year-old, mostly known for his exploits on special teams in his five years in the league, came out of nowhere to find the end zone in this one. In the first six games of the year, McCloud had a grand total of four catches on nine targets for 53 yards. It was a cool moment for the return man, but he's unlikely to produce much on offense for the Niners moving forward unless they suffer an injury or two ahead of him on the receiver depth chart. Chalk this up as an outlier performance.
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.
