No targets in win McCloud logged 26 snaps (18 on offense) and was not targeted in Sunday's 37-15 win over Carolina.
Impact McCloud was in line to see a slightly-expanded role offensively if Jauan Jennings (ankle) was forced to miss the contest. The latter played, leaving McCloud in his usual fourth wideout/return role. The 25-year-old will fill a similar role in Week 6 against the Falcons.

Catches one pass in win McCloud caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Rams.
Impact McCloud now has just one catch in each of the 49ers' first four games. Operating as San Francisco's No. 4 receiver, McCloud is not seeing enough opportunities on offense to be considered a viable fantasy starter. The 25-year-old wideout played on just nine of the team's offensive snaps, the least of any 49ers wideout in the contest. McCloud should remain off the fantasy radar when the 49ers visit the Panthers in Week 5.

Another one-catch game McCloud caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Broncos.
Impact McCloud got off to a rough start when he slipped on the opening kickoff return and started San Francisco deep in its own territory. The return specialist logged 10 snaps on offense (18 percent) and 13 on special teams. McCloud doesn't carry any fantasy value in his current role as fourth on the receiver depth chart heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Rams.

Former Steelers receiver Ray-Ray McCloud agrees to terms with 49ers McCloud served as the Steelers’ primary punt and kick returner and a depth receiver the past two seasons.

Lands with San Francisco McCloud signed a two-year contract with the 49ers on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact McCloud was a key contributor for the Steelers in 2021. He regularly served as the team's third receiver and managed to haul in a career-best 39 passes for 277 yards. His role as a pass catcher is likely to dwindle in San Francisco as he will slot in behind at least Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk on the depth chart while also battling for targets with tight end George Kittle. As a result, McCloud's primary value could come as a punt returner, as he led the NFL with 367 punt return yards in 2021.

Targeted nine times in Week 18 McCloud caught four of nine targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 16-13 OT win over the Ravens.
Impact McCloud had a consistent target share across the final three weeks of the regular season with at least eight targets in each of those games. However, he mustered only four catches in each appearance and failed to top 40 yards in any of those matchups. The 25-year-old appeared in 16 of 17 games during the regular season and caught 39 of 66 targets for 277 yards while rushing twice for 15 yards. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Draws 10 targets against Browns McCloud secured four of 10 targets for 35 yards in Monday's 26-14 win over Cleveland.
Impact McCloud's 10 targets marked his second-highest target count of the season, but he failed to generate much yardage as the Steelers' passing game struggled with efficiency Monday. The 2018 sixth-rounder has drawn at least eight targets in three of the last four games but has secured just 15 of his 29 targets for 92 yards during that time.

Targeted eight times in loss McCloud secured four of eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 36-10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact McCloud didn't record any yardage in last week's win over Tennessee, but he ranked second on the team in targets in Sunday's blowout loss. The 2018 sixth-rounder has had inconsistent targets this year but has now been targeted at least eight times in three of his last six appearances.
