Ray-Ray McCloud III Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (illness) was a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. The severity of his illness is unknown but it's unlikely to be bad enough to keep him out of the lineup this week. The 27-year-old has seen a slight uptick in involvement on offense with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) out of the lineup. Samuel is practicing in full and will make his return to the lineup on Sunday. That will relegate McCloud back to his role as a returner on special teams. Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings are above him in the wide receiver pecking order.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (wrist) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. McCloud continues to work his way back from a broken wrist that he suffered in early August. The good news is that McCloud has been able to practice in a limited capacity on two consecutive days. It remains to be seen if McCloud will be ready in time for Sunday's regular season opener. Honestly, Friday's practice will go a long way to determining his availability for this weekend. McCloud doesn't offer much upside in the receiving game, but was a solid punt and kick returner last season.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver/return specialist Ray-Ray McCloud III (wrist) suffered a broken wrist in practice. The 26-year-old will undergo surgery and has a timeline of eight weeks to return to action. That said, he will surely miss the first couple of regular season games, and he could be out until at least Week 5. He caught just 14 passes for 243 yards and a touchdown last season but returned 33 punts and 26 kickoffs. Willie Snead and rookie Ronnie Bell will likely get a shot to handle the return duties while he's sidelined.
