Who Should I Start? Malachi Corley or Jacob Cowing

Thursday, August 28, 10:03 AM

Wide receiver Malachi Corley is signing with the Cleveland Browns, according to a report from Adam Schefter. The second-year pro appeared in nine games for the New York Jets as a rookie, mostly as a special teams player, but failed to make the club this year. Corley will join the Browns' practice squad to begin the season, but could work his way onto the active roster at some point this season due the club's lack of depth at the position.

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).
