During this stretch, McCloud has seen at least seven targets in every game with a season-high nine targets in last week's match.
This Sunday, he will face the Carolina Panthers who have allowed the 26th-most points to opposing wideouts. Even though he is the No.3 receiver on his team and faces tough target competition on a weekly basis, in a favorable matchup he is a solid WR3 in deeper leagues.
