2025 Fantasy Outlook
Witherspoon has earned Pro Bowl honors in each of the last two seasons as the team's starting slot cornerback. His role has paid dividends for fantasy managers with 98 tackles and nine pass breakups in 2024. The Seahawks have addressed the defense consistently over the past few drafts and in free agency, which should continue to raise Witherspoon's ceiling and hopefully put him in a better position for additional interceptions. Regardless, the third-year corner carries a high floor and should be among the top defensive backs for IDP purposes. Read Past Outlooks
Not playing Sunday
Witherspoon (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback will now miss his fourth game of 2025 due to the knee injury. Shaquill Griffin, Derion Kendrick and Nehemiah Pritchett are Seattle's backup corners.

How do Devon Witherspoon's measurables compare to other cornerbacks?
This section compares his draft workout metrics with players at the same position. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and it would be considered average.
* The 40-Yard Dash, Broad Jump, and Bench Press metrics are from his Pro Day. All others are from the NFL Combine.

2023
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.

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.
