2024 Fantasy Outlook
Witherspoon lived up to his billing as the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft regardless of measure. He was on the field for 100 percent of defensive snaps from Week 1 and broke up at least one pass in 11 of his 14 games all while holding opposing quarterbacks to a modest 87.6 passer rating when targeted. Despite lacking size, he also showed the ability to help out on run defense and a pass rusher, illustrated by his 3.0 sacks and eight tackles for loss. That gives him a well-rounded profile - particularly for a corner - that will benefit him in IDP leagues. There is no question as to his role as a foundational piece of the Seattle defense, and he should continue to pair very well with Riq Woolen as the two outside corners. Read Past Outlooks
Stacks up seven stops
Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (four solo), two pass breakups and a forced fumble in the 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
This was Witherspoon's fourth seven-tackle game this season, as he's averaging 5.7 stops per game. The 2023 first-round pick has endured a significant drop in pass breakups with just three through nine games after posting 16 through 14 games last season. Witherspoon is a locked-in starter on Seattle's defense and should maintain a decent fantasy floor as a result.

The Ravens might want to shadow George Pickens with Marlon Humphrey, because the other Ravens corners can't cover Pickens.
Justin Jefferson will almost certainly have a big game Sunday, and the Colts pass defense is weak enough for Jordan Addison to get rolling in the same game.
With Tua Tagovailoa back in the lineup Jaylen Waddle should get rolling against Arizona, and the same is true of Tyreek Hill if he plays through his foot injury.
Drake London's breakout should continue against a Seattle secondary that might be without its two starting boundary corners.
Michael Pittman got back on track in Week 4 and should keep it rolling in Week 5, as neither the Jags nor Colts have viable coverage personnel.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Seahawks almost never take cornerbacks this high, but Witherspoon is an elite prospect that warranted the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 Draft. He's not a big corner, lining up at 6-0, 180 pounds, but he was widely considered one of the top cover corners in the nation last year, registering 14 pass breakups and three picks as a senior. The Illinois product should slot in as an immediate starter opposite Tariq Woolen to create a young duo that could quickly become one of the best in the league.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could benefit from scheme shift
Witherspoon could be Seattle's most valuable non-quarterback in 2024, per Mike Sando of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Witherspoon is coming off a strong rookie season in which the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft posted three sacks among his 79 tackles while adding 16 passes defensed. The nickel cornerback offers a rare mix of coverage skills and physicality. The latter trait allows Witherspoon to excel as a blitzer out of the slot, and Sando anticipates that Witherspoon will get a chance to go after the quarterback more frequently in defensive coordinator Aden Durde's scheme than he did under Clint Hurtt in 2023.
