                    After spending most of his career as a depth receiver and return specialist, McCloud was a full-time starter for the Falcons last year, working as the No. 3 receiver in an offense that used three-wide formations on a league-high 86 percent of snaps. Unsurprisingly, he was among the worst regular starters at his position in the league, with 1.29 yards per route being the 11th-lowest mark among WRs that ran 400 or more routes. McCloud's 87 targets produced just one touchdown and three interceptions, although he at least caught 71.3 percent of the passes and posted a respectable 11.1 yards per catch and 7.9 yards per target. He'll have a shot to start again in 2025, after the Falcons declined to draft any WRs or sign a big-name free agent at the position. Just don't expect much in the way of production even if he spends a lot of time on the field again. Read Past Outlooks

            Officially signs to practice squad
The Giants signed McCloud to the practice squad Thursday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
				ANALYSIS
McCloud will provide New York with depth at wide receiver after having been cut by the Falcons on Friday. He could also contribute in the return game. While McCloud is technically eligible to be promoted for game action as early as Sunday's divisional matchup against the Eagles, it seems likely that he'll need at least a week or two to acclimate to his new offensive scheme.

		            After spending two years in San Francisco, McCloud signed a two-year deal with Atlanta this offseason, joining Darnell Mooney and Casey Washington as additions to a revamped wideout corps behind Drake London. Quarterback Kirk Cousins also is new in town and expected to elevate the passing attack led by former Rams passing game coordinator Zac Robinson. McCloud has never been prolific, totaling 26 catches (on 40 targets) for 378 yards and a score across two seasons with the 49ers, but he excels as a returner, which should help him land a roster spot on the Falcons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
    Looking good for No. 3 role
McCloud is poised to open the season as Atlanta's top slot receiver, as he was working ahead of Rondale Moore prior to Moore's knee injury Wednesday, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic.
				ANALYSIS
Even with Moore healthy, McCloud had the inside track on the slot receiver role, as he's consistently been working with the first-team offense in training camp. Moore was carted off the field at practice Wednesday due to a non-contact injury, further solidifying McCloud's standing as Atlanta's third wide receiver behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
