Jacob Cowing - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

ROTOBALLER NFL START SIT STOCK IMAGE

BALLER MOVE: Sit

POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5/WR6

ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing could have fantasy value if a lot of things went right. If fellow WRs Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist/illness) and Ricky Pearsall didn't start, he might be worth a start. Or if head coach and playcaller Kyle Shanahan liked using rookies more. But neither of those things are true.

Some of us at RotoBaller really do like Cowing. But in order for him to produce in fantasy football, he'll need a good amount of opportunity, and he's unlikely to get it. Star tight end George Kittle (foot) is also expected to play. This offense is the George and Deebo Show now that WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out for the season and third-stringer Jauan Jennings (hip) is inactive.

Samuel goes absolutely ballistic on stat sheets when Aiyuk isn't playing, and that will be the case for the rest of the season. Shanahan has shown us that he has no issues using players heavily, even when it's not necessary, leading to highly impactful absences due to injury -- see Christian McCaffrey (Double Achilles).

Cowing is hardly worth bench stashing outside of extremely deep leagues. The path to fantasy relevance for him is extremely narrow.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Devin Singletary is a risky start for fantasy owners heading into tonight's game against the Steelers. Last game, Singletary saw just five carries, gaining only 18 yards and showing limited effectiveness as part of the Giants' offense. His low volume suggests he’s not a […]

Daniel Jones - Week 8 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones presents a risky start this week against the Steelers, especially on the road.

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 8 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

That's interesting news, but he should not be started in any leagues right now. He took first-team reps in practice, but will face a stout […]
