McClain totaled 50 tackles, five pass breakups, thee interceptions and one touchdown over 14 games for Tampa Bay in 2017.

EDGE Analysis

McClain, playing on a one-year deal with Tampa Bay, logged the second-most snaps among Buccaneers cornerbacks and ultimately finished tops in tackles at the position. However, he never proved to be much of an IDP asset and, from a real-life perspective, graded out as Pro Football Focus' 98th-highest graded corner. The UConn product will now be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the league year.

McClain posted six tackles (five solo) and one interception Sunday against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

McClain logged 54 of 68 defensive snaps Sunday and compiled one of his best stat lines of this campaign. The Bucs have a difficult Week 15 game against the Falcons, who torched Tampa just two weeks back for 34 points and 516 total yards.

McClain managed four solo tackles and an interception in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

The six-year pro's tackle totals were a bit down after he'd racked up a combined 15 stops over his previous two games, but he managed his first interception since the Buccaneers' Week 2 season opener. McClain has thrived in a starting opportunity and has been providing fantasy owners with solid tackle numbers for a cornerback. The 29-year-old should continue running with the first unit, providing him with an opportunity to continue offering serviceable IDP production in deeper formats.

McClain (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain started his Week 10 prep as a full participant, but he was downgraded to doubtful by the end of the week. Hopefully, Week 11 isn't a replica, and for now there are no signs pointing that direction. McClain compiled 28 tackles (23 solo) three pass breakups and a pick six through seven games this season. However, until he can produce a consistent tackle count, fantasy owners shouldn't deploy him in most circumstances.

McClain (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain's outlook in terms of availability for Sunday continued to trend downward throughout the week, ultimately failing to participate in Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury. During his absence in Week 10, Vernon Hargreaves and Ryan Smith are in line for additional snaps at cornerback alongside starter Brent Grimes.

The Buccaneers have listed McClain (hamstring) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McClain went from full participant, to limited participant, to non-participant in consecutive days, so he is clearly trending in the wrong direction. Barring a remarkable turnaround, it looks like Vernon Hargreaves and Ryan Smith should see increased roles in the secondary Sunday.

McClain (concussion) posted seven tackles (four solo) -- including a half-tackle for loss -- in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran corner made a successful return from a one-game absence and posted strong tackle totals for the second consecutive contest. McClain has collected 15 tackles (11 solo) and a defensed pass in his two games as a starter and is likely to continue holding down a first-string cornerback job for the time being.

Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said Thursday that McClain cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news removes any doubt regarding McClain's status heading into Sunday's matchup with the Saints. McClain has appeared in six of the Buccaneers' seven games this season, accumulating 21 tackles, three pass breakups, an interception and a touchdown.

McClain (concussion) practiced Wednesday without limitations and is in line to play Sunday against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain normally plays a high snap count as the No. 3 Bucs' corner, but with Brent Grimes (shoulder) still not practicing this week, he could be thrust into a more intensive role if Grimes can't play Sunday. He'll have a tough task against a hot Saints' offense that has on problem airing it out, especially in the comfort of the Superdome.

McClain (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McClain sat out of practice this week, making this move unsurprising. With his injury designation, expect Ryan Smith to slot into the No. 3 corner position for the time being.
