Jacob Cowing

25-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
San Francisco 49ers
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Cowing, a 2024 fourth-round pick, missed his entire Year 2 campaign in 2025 due to a hamstring injury. As a rookie, he logged 15 regular-season appearances but totaled just four grabs for 80 yards on six targets in that span. As Cowing is under contract through 2027, he figures to get a chance to compete for a depth role in 2026, but with Mike Evans, Christian Kirk and rookie second-rounder De’Zhaun Stribling having joined San Francisco’s wide receiver corps this offseason, his best chance to get on the field will be as a punt returner.

On the field for OTAs

May 28, 2026
Cowing (hamstring) is participating in the 49ers' OTAs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver is not only participating, but he apparently looks good, per Maiocco, who called him a standout during Thursday's session, and David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, who reported that coach Kyle Shanahan said he was impressed that Cowing was in such good shape. The 2024 fourth-round pick missed the 2025 campaign with a hamstring injury that he suffered in late August.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
The rookie fourth-round pick was limited on offense while buried on the depth chart, grabbing four of six targets for 80 yards across 15 games (101 offensive snaps) in 2024. Cowing possesses breakaway speed (4.38 40-yard dash), but he would need to carve out a regular role in order to be relevant in fantasy. San Francisco parted ways with Deebo Samuel this past offseason, and Brandon Aiyuk could miss time out of the gate, so there is potential for Cowing to see an uptick in usage this season.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Standing out again
WRSan Francisco 49ers
June 23, 2026
Cowing has been a standout during the 49ers' offseason program, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Cowing was a favorite deep target during 7-on-7 work during offseason practices and drew praise from new teammate and veteran wideout Mike Evans. Cowing also created some buzz during the 2025 offseason, though he wasn't able to carry that through to the regular season due to nagging hamstring issues. While the reports may be positive for now, it's unlikely that Cowing will contribute regularly to the offense in 2026, barring significant injuries ahead of him on the depth chart.
