Who Should I Start? Jalen Reagor or Jacob Cowing

The Los Angeles Chargers re-signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor and running back Nyheim Miller-Hines to their practice squad on Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Reagor and Miller-Hines will return to the Bolts to provide depth entering the 2025 regular season at their respective positions. Even if they are both brought up to the active roster at some point this year, they most likely will not be on the fantasy radar. The 26-year-old Reagor never lived up to his draft stock as the 21st overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 out of TCU. In his five NFL seasons with four teams, Reagor has 86 catches, 1,037 yards and four touchdowns in 64 games (27 starts). He hasn't scored since 2022. Miller-Hines, 28, has mostly operated as a light pass-catching back in his five NFL seasons, but he hasn't played since 2022 due to a torn ACL.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing (hamstring) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Wednesday, guaranteeing that he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Cowing was battling a hamstring injury for most of training camp and suffered a major setback while trying to return for the team's final preseason game. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided a six-week return timeline for Cowing, making his IR placement an easy decision. The 24-year-old would have had a chance to make an early-season impact had he been able to stay healthy, as the 49ers' wide receiver room has been besieged by injuries behind WR1 Ricky Pearsall. With the delayed start, Cowing should be off the radar of fantasy managers for the time being. However, he could be an under-the-radar midseason pickup, depending on the status of currently sidelined 49ers wideouts Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (calf).
