Jacob Cowing

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
San Francisco 49ers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The selection of Cowing in the fourth round bolstered the 49ers' long-term plans at the wide receiver position. San Francisco currently boasts one of the top receiver rooms in the league heading into the 2024 season, so Cowing's impact likely will be minimal from a fantasy perspective as a rookie. The 5-8 wideout projects to be a dynamic playmaker from the slot after ascending through the college ranks and finishing in Arizona as a polished prospect. Read Past Outlooks

Cowing caught two of three targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Cowing saw his usage increase after the 49ers lost both starting wideouts early in the contest. The 2024 fourth-round pick used that opportunity to not only record his first catch as a professional, but he also tied teammate George Kittle for the longest reception of the game (41 yards). Cowing could continue to get work as the team's third or fourth receiver -- depending on the health status of multiple wideouts this week -- when the 49ers host the Cowboys next Sunday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May be asked to step up
WRSan Francisco 49ers
September 17, 2024
Cowing could be used as a replacement for Deebo Samuel in the "gadget player" role, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Samuel is expected to be sidelined for multiple games due to a strained calf, leaving a significant hole in the team's receiving corps. Jauan Jennings will likely stick in the slot, leaving the combination of Chris Conley, Ronnie Bell and Cowing as the second outside receiver. Barrows specifically notes that Cowing could be used to stretch the field horizontally while working out of the backfield on plays such as wide receiver sweeps or screens.
