Who Should I Start? Jamal Agnew or Jacob Cowing

Sunday, November 16, 11:45 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Agnew has played almost exclusively on special teams this year, playing just one offensive snap so far. He has returned kicks for six consecutive games, totaling 24 kick returns and nine punt returns in 2025. Just last week, he had six kick returns for 135 yards. He's an appealing option in leagues that award points for return yardage. Otherwise, he can be left on waivers.

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).
