Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability

Outlook

The situation only narrows it further. A hamstring injury wiped out his 2025, and he returns to a San Francisco receiver room stacked ahead of him, leaving him fighting for reserve snaps rather than targets. Coaches have praised his conditioning, but conditioning doesn't beat out a full depth chart. Behind him on the depth chart: Brandin Cooks. Full outlook

Our Take After Week 4

Through 3 games he's WR169 at 0.0 PPR points per game.

Last season he ranked 133rd of 142 in target volume (1.2% target share), 131st of 142 in downfield role (1.9% air-yards share) and 81st of 142 in efficiency (1.33 yards per route run). Target volume is the soft spot. Brock Purdy is his quarterback.

The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Brandin Cooks next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.

The next favorable matchups are the Commanders in Week 6 (1st against WRs) and the Falcons in Week 7 (3rd against WRs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Cowing's profile is built on a tiny sample: 6 targets across 15 games in 2024, a 10.4% snap rate, a 10.7% route share, and a 1.2% target share. The flashes were real -- a 0.709 EPA per play, a 66.7% success rate, 20.0 yards per reception, and a 14.33 air-yards-per-target mark that pegs him as a downfield option -- but four catches for 80 yards and a 0.031 WOPR is noise, not signal. There's nothing here to project a fantasy role from.

The situation only narrows it further. A hamstring injury wiped out his 2025, and he returns to a San Francisco receiver room stacked ahead of him, leaving him fighting for reserve snaps rather than targets. Coaches have praised his conditioning, but conditioning doesn't beat out a full depth chart. He's undraftable in every format and belongs only on a deep-league watch list -- a name to revisit if an injury opens a lane in front of him.
