Rams TE Tyler Higbee returned to his old role for the start of the playoffs and came out on fire, only to suffer an injury that leaves him uncertain for the next round. RW's Jerry Donabedian has the scoop.
The Texans insist on playing safeties in the slot, which might be a way of asking for trouble from Ladd McConkey.
As coach Sean McVay and QB Matthew Stafford enter Year 4 together, the Rams have enough firepower to remain a top-tier offense. Ultimately, the defense may dictate how their 2024 campaign unfolds.
The Steelers might assign Joey Porter to Stefon Diggs, but if so the decision might backfire against Pittsburgh.

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.
