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

Impressive showing this preseason
Cowing brought in all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason finale against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Cowing continued to impress this preseason with another strong showing after going for 70 combined yards against the Saints last week. The rookie fourth-rounder is making it tough for the 49ers to keep him off the 53-man roster come the Aug. 27 deadline. Cowing has shown explosiveness with the ball in his hands, making him a tantalizing option should he find a path to playing time this season. Currently as things stand, Brandon Aiyuk remains in a contract "hold in" awaiting a trade or a new deal and Jauan Jennings (oblique) and Ricky Pearsall (shoulder) have not played this preseason while nursing injuries. This opens up a potential scenario where Cowing could find himself getting some meaningful snaps out of the gates. Those in deeper formats should take note.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Punt returner in SF
Cowing is expected to serve as the 49ers' punt returner to begin the season, Matt Barrows and David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ricky Pearsall is the rookie wide receiver getting the most attention in San Francisco, though a shoulder issue has limited his involvement in training camp. Between Pearsall's injury and Brandon Aiyuk's hold-in, Cowing appears to have taken advantage of his extra time on the field to flash some explosiveness. The Arizona product could ultimately find himself contributing to the offensive unit if Pearsall and Aiyuk remain off the field.
