The short term fantasy prospects could be quite good, if he can develop well over pre-season and be provided with an opportunity he should produce decent fantasy numbers.

His long term prospects could also be good, a half-back role would likely provide a strong fantasy scoring rate.

Season long fantasy: Cowan is an option when he makes his debut, keep a close watch on his pre-season development for any early season debut potential. He should be able to exceed his salary expectation comfortably.

Single season draft leagues: He’s likely a late round speculative option in single season draft leagues.

DFS: He’ll certainly be a consideration in a half-back role especially at a low entry level salary.
