Ahkello Witherspoon Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (head) suffered a concussion in Week 1 against the Cardinals and is in the league's concussion protocol, according to a league source. When he's good to go he'll take over for Richard Sherman (calf), who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The Niners are suddenly thin in the secondary, but it might not matter much in Week 2 against a Jets offense that is already reeling and just lost running back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) for at least three weeks. Witherspoon had a solo tackle in the Week 1 loss and managed 28 combined tackles, an interception returned for a touchdown and nine passes defensed in 10 games (eight starts) in 2019.

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon (foot) is expected to miss at least a month with a foot sprain, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Emmanuel Moseley will be first in line to replace Witherspoon, but a competition with Jason Verrett and others will take place. San Francisco's secondary will need to step up. Luckily they'll have a Week 4 bye to figure things out before being tested by Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. on Monday night in Week 5. The Browns could have their way with San Fran's secondary in that matchup.
