John Metchie III Could Move up Depth Chart

Tuesday, September 29, 6:42 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver John Metchie III made the most of some extra playing time against the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday. Metchie hauled in two of his five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the loss. This is the most that Metchie has seen the field with both Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee) banged up. The expectation is that Metchie could see a larger role in the offense going forward if Coker and Legette miss legitimate time. The 26-year-old could be an intriguing deep league stash option ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions defense.

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.
