Jacob Cowing was listed as a Week 1 out, but SF’s future usage notes him as a flexible target who could emerge once healthy, offering upside in deeper leagues if he seizes a defined role.

Jacob Cowing, on IR, represents a potential breakout for SF once healthy. Bourne's signing and Aiyuk's PUP status may limit his immediate involvement, but as SF builds depth, Cowing could rejoin as a weapon in the vertical game and short-to-intermediate routes, providing red-zone and drive-start potential down the line.

Cowing is on IR, limiting early-in-2025 involvement. His eventual return adds WR depth behind Jennings and Aiyuk; SF will monitor his development as a potential boost to the unit once healthy, affecting the target spectrum and Jennings’ ceiling.

Jacob Cowing is a speculative depth option; his Week 1 involvement depends on Jennings’ status and practice, with upside if he earns targets and SF’s offense runs efficiently.

Cowing was placed on IR, as SF signed Jefferson and adjusted the depth. As a WR rook, his IR designation opens a roster spot while he recovers, and his absence could shape early-season WR usage and practice squad decisions.
