Who Should I Start? Scotty Miller or Jacob Cowing

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Scotty Miller (finger) won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Green Bay packers. The wideout practiced in full on Wednesday. Unfortunately, he injured his finger during practice on Thursday and wasn't available for Friday's session. Miller has appeared in six games throughout the 2025 campaign. However, he hasn't done much, catching only one of two targets for nine yards, so his absence won't impact fantasy managers. Rookie Ke'Shawn Williams could be in line for extra snaps with Miller out of the equation, although he still likely won't see enough action to be relevant from a fantasy standpoint.

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).
