Yeah if you want you can do a few different variations with the cable xover like said above standing with arms crossed over extending backwards or you can use the low pully bent over raises either one at a time of both together.

Personally if I do rear delts directly(every month or so) I do them on back day and do a couple of sets of chest supported rear laterals raises laying face down on an incline bench which means you cant cheat. Also you dont need much weight for rear delts if you use to much other muscle will start to take over so dont jerk it.

Depending on how advanced you are and what your goals are I would stick to heavy pressing for mass (you mentioned shoulder press if this is a machine I would advice free weights)

I train shoulders with chest and tris and just do 5 sets of 5 power clean and presses at the moment.
Good luck.

Cleans of some kind and rows will hit rear delts plenty.

Stick with compound exercises, forget isolation/cable movements.

Try some heavy standing military presses.
