Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

    3 of last 3 seasons under 15 games — slight availability risk, not a short 2026 slate.

Quick answer

Buy

McCloud had 18 solo tackles in 2025, finishing CB9. Coming off a real climb — CB20 to CB9 tells the story better than age. 2025 stopped at 10 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
