2025 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Signe a four-year, $4.55 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2024.
Resumes practice
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Cowing (IR, hamstring) will have his practice window opened Wednesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Cowing spent the entire 2025 season recovering from a hamstring injury that he suffered during training camp. The 24-year-old is available to return for the wild-card round against the Eagles and will likely see a mix of reps on offense and special teams should he play.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot in jeopardy?
Cowing, a 2024 fourth-round pick, was held out of practice Wednesday after aggravating a hamstring injury and now has further competition for a roster spot after the 49ers traded for Skyy Moore on Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The combination of circumstances could conspire to put Cowing in jeopardy of missing out on a roster spot at final cutdowns. As a rookie, the Arizona product managed just a 4-80 receiving line on six targets across 15 regular-season games. Despite the plethora of other injuries to the receiver corps and Demarcus Robinson's season-opening three-game suspension, Cowing could be deemed expendable if it appears the hamstring issue will keep him out for an extended period, especially with veterans such as Russell Gage, Isaiah Hodgins, Malik Turner, Robbie Chosen and Moore all on the depth chart.
