Could Jacob Cowing Be in for Larger Role for 49ers against Cardinals?

Saturday, September 26, 7:47 AM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing could be in line for an increased role against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 due to injuries within the team's wide receiver unit. Cowing has played 29 offensive snaps over two weeks and is yet to record an offensive statistic. However, with fellow wideouts Demarcus Robinson (ankle) ruled out, Mike Evans (hip) questionable, rookie De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle) on injured reserve, and Ricky Pearsall (knee) out for the season, the 49ers may be forced to rely on Cowing more in the passing game. If Evans isn't available, Cowing, Deebo Samuel, and KhaDarel Hodge, along with tight end George Kittle and running back Christian McCaffrey, could all see upticks in usage. The Cardinals are giving up 203 passing yards per game. Cowing is currently way off the radar for Week 3, checking in as RotoBaller's No. 117 wideout. He is projected to score just 2.9 fantasy points. Cowing is not a recommended start this week, but could be a stash option if the 49ers continue to get decimated by injuries in the wide receiver corps.

Ke'Shawn Williams Leads Pittsburgh In Receiving

Sunday, August 10, 1:40 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ke'Shawn Williams secured both of his targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in a 31-25 preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The undrafted rookie made a statement on Saturday night as a go-to downfield weapon for quarterback Skylar Thompson. He managed to come down with a heavily contested 26-yard deep ball in the endzone that gave the Steelers a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter. Williams is far from a guarantee to make the 53-man roster, but there aren't many proven options ahead of him in Pittsburgh's wide receiver corps. He'll look to further establish himself throughout the preseason, with his next opportunity coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
