An early Thursday report from Team 980 that linked Williams and New England in trade rumors has been determined untrue.

Ian Rapoport tweeted that the report was "unequivocally not true." Williams continues to hold out, and the indication is that he will not be traded.

Trent Williams will not be traded, according to Washington Redskins officials.

Fantasy Impact

The Pro-Bowl offensive lineman has stood by his assertion that he will not play for Washington this season, and the Redskins have stood their ground too. The team has reportedly rebuffed multiple offers and is confident that Williams will return by Week 1. With neither side blinking, this situation should be kept on the radar, as it impacts the fantasy stock of Washington's skill position players.

Williams insists he will not play for Washington this season and if not traded, will likely sit the season out.

Fantasy Impact

Williams is reportedly "dug in" on not playing for the Redskins because he feels the medical staff gave him bad information regarding a head tumor last season. The seven-time Pro-Bowl offensive lineman is sure to be an attractive trade piece to many teams, and the Houston Texans have been linked to Williams in recent days.

Patriots beat writer Jeff Howe is reporting the Patriots will be in the mix for Redskins LT Trent Williams if/ when they make him expendable via trade.

Fantasy Impact

After losing Cameron Fleming, Trent Brown and Nate Solder in recent years, the Patriots have a need at the left tackle position, one that could be filled with yet another elite talent if Williams lands in New England. And since Williams has made it known that he won't play another down for the Redskins, it is probably better off for all parties involved if this marriage ended in a civil divorce, before it turns into an ugly one.

ESPN is reporting Redskins HC Jay Gruden is "optimistic" that LT Trent Williams will report to camp "shortly."

Fantasy Impact

It is clear that Williams wants out of Washington. And while the team appears reluctant to deal him, it seems like his days with the Redskins are numbered. And who could blame him? Not only are they one of the least talented teams in the league, but the front office, including ownership, is perennially in disarray. If the Redskins lose Williams, their fantasy assets -- their arent many -- will take a significant hit, especially the running backs. It is looking more and more like Trey Quinn is the only Redskins player worth rostering in redraft leagues for 2019.
