Quick answer

Watch

McCloud caught 7 passes for 69 yards in 2025, finishing WR173. He scored about 53% less than his touches said he should. Recent form cooled from WR56 to WR173 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2025 stopped at 6 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
