2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 30-year-old had ups and downs in his second season with the Rams, recording a career-high nine pass defenses and an interception to go with 31 tackles in 13 games. Opposing quarterbacks, however, boasted a 99.4 QB rating against the veteran, making it a feast or famine prospect when he was targeted. Witherspoon was brought back on another one-year deal for 2025, but a starting role isn't guaranteed with Darious Williams, Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick all vying for roles. Read Past Outlooks

Signed a one-year, $1.26 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025.
Will go on IR due to shoulder
Witherspoon (shoulder) will be placed on injured reserve, head coach Sean McVay relayed Monday, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Witherspoon aggravated his scapula injury during the Rams' 34-31 win over the Panthers in the wild-card round. The cornerback will miss the remainder of the Rams' postseason run due to the injury and is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason ahead of his age-31 campaign. Witherspoon had eight tackles (six solo) and one interception among his two passes defensed in six regular-season games and added one solo tackle prior to his departure from Saturday's playoff win.

2018
The six-year veteran signed with the Rams after a forgettable two-year stint with the Steelers, which included participating in just four games in 2022 due to a lingering hamstring injury. Witherspoon lands on a Rams secondary that just lost its two biggest producers in Jalen Ramsey and Troy Hill, and with Derion Kendrick already nursing a hamstring injury of his own in training camp, Witherspoon should have a role as a depth piece.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be in line to start
Witherspoon is expected to start at cornerback for the Steelers opposite Cameron Sutton, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The former 49er signed with Seattle ahead of the 2021 season but never played a game for the Seahawks, instead getting traded to Pittsburgh after failing to win a starting job in training camp. Witherspoon took some time to adjust to his new surroundings but came on down the stretch last season, and he wound up leading the Steelers with nine passes defended and three interceptions. His main competition for a starting job appears to be former Bills cornerback Levi Wallace.
