BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR62
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III has never been fantasy football relevant. The veteran wide receiver has spent most of his career as a special teams runner until signing with the Falcons in the offseason.
McCloud is the WR59 for the year, averaging 6.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has had some productive performances, totaling 7.2 or more fantasy points in half the games, including two of the past three contests. However, the veteran has lucked out with some passes landing in his hands when they shouldn’t.

The Falcons face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. The Seahawks have held wide receivers to 25.6 fantasy points per game, slightly below the league average. However, they have struggled to slow down wide receivers lately, giving up 40 or more fantasy points in two of their past three contests.
While the matchup is somewhat appealing this week, fantasy players should avoid starting McCloud outside the deepest fantasy football leagues.
