Witherspoon registered 98 tackles (66 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and nine pass defenses across 17 games during the 2024 season. Witherspoon was the Seahawks' only Pro Bowl player this season, marking his second time earning the honor in as many years. The 2023 first-round pick primarily played in the slot and paid dividends for fantasy managers with a high tackle count once again. He'll undoubtedly be a starter again in 2025 and should draw plenty of fantasy intrigue.

Witherspoon registered 98 tackles (66 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and nine pass defenses across 17 games during the 2024 season. Witherspoon was the Seahawks' only Pro Bowl player this season, marking his second time earning the honor in as many years. The 2023 first-round pick primarily played in the slot and paid dividends for fantasy managers with a high tackle count once again. He'll undoubtedly be a starter again in 2025 and should draw plenty of fantasy intrigue.
Witherspoon recorded six solo tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss and a sack in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Bears. Witherspoon's physicality was on display in the close conference win, and he notched his first sack since Week 11 of last season. The 2023 first-round pick has now produced 90 tackles (62 solo), seven pass breakups and a sack through 16 games, proving to be an effective fantasy option as the Seahawks' starting slot cornerback.
Witherspoon recorded seven tackles (four solo), two pass breakups and a forced fumble in the 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams on Sunday. 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.
Witherspoon (foot) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Witherspoon popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a foot injury, but it doesn't appear to be serious following his full practice Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Witherspoon should be good to go for Sunday's NFC West showdown against the Rams.
Witherspoon (foot) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Witherspoon logged five tackles (four solo) during the Seahawks' Week 8 loss to the Bills, but he appears to have picked up a foot injury in the process. He'll have two more opportunities this week to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's NFC West clash against the Rams.
Witherspoon (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Witherspoon opened the week with a pair of limited practices due to a hamstring issue, but he returned to full participation Friday and doesn't have an injury designation heading into the weekend. As such, he appears fine to suit up Sunday. Through two games, Witherspoon has tallied 14 tackles (nine solo) along with one defensed pass.
Witherspoon (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice with the Seahawks on Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Witherspoon appears to have picked up a hamstring injury in Seattle's 23-20 win over the Patriots in Week 2. The cornerback's ability to practice in any capacity is a positive sign and he'll have to more chances to log a full session before Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.
