BALLER MOVE: Add In Deep Leagues (14+ Teams)
ROSTERED IN: 1% Of All Leagues
ANALYSIS: San Francisco wide receiver Jacob Cowing has a tantalizing set of skills, including excellent speed (4.39 40-yard dash) and quickness, but head coach Kyle Shanahan usually doesn't give rookies enough volume to make them fantasy-relevant.
Fellow WRs Deebo Samuel Sr. and Brandon Aiyuk were fantasy relevant in their rookie seasons and developed into stars, but it took time for them to develop, and both were drafted much higher than Cowing.
All Jacob Cowing does is make plays…

Cowing has shown promise but is still raw. The hope is that Shanahan puts him in Samuel's role and has him take handoffs, short passes, and screens and make plays with his speed and elusiveness, but nothing concrete has materialized. Cowing hasn't even taken a snap on offense yet.
There's nothing to indicate Cowing will have much of a role. In the long term, Samuel and Aiyuk aren't going anywhere for the rest of the season, and Samuel will resume his starting duties when he returns. Cowing is still behind Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall (when he returns) on the depth chart as well.
He's a highly speculative add in very deep leagues but best left on waivers. There are many better options out there.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
