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.
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.
The WRs priced immediately above and below him.
