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
RANKS
Struggling to find role on offense
Cowing returned five punts for 51 yards and went without a target while playing four of the 49ers' 54 snaps on offense in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick out of Arizona has been serving as the 49ers' top punt returner throughout the season, but he's struggled to find a role on offense even while Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall have missed multiple games due to injuries. Though Aiyuk is out for the season, Jennings and Pearsall have been healthy for several weeks now and, along with Deebo Samuel, are continuing to work comfortably ahead of Cowing at receiver. Cowing has recorded just two catches for 50 yards on four targets while playing just 39 snaps on offense all season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May be asked to step up
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.
