Deshaun Watson Fantasy

The Houston Texans remain unwilling to talk about quarterback Deshaun Watson with other teams, with some clubs resorting to leaving voicemails with their trade offers, according to sources. Watson spoke with head coach David Culley recently, but the two have yet to meet in person. The 25-year-old franchise signal-caller hasn't backed off his demands to be dealt, but the Texans aren't budging. This situation will continue to be the biggest offseason storyline as we head into the new league year next month. Even without All-Pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins as his top receiver in 2020, Watson finished as the No. 4 fantasy QB behind Josh Allen, Kyler Murray and Aaron Rodgers. He could land in a better situation if he's ultimately traded, but even if he stays in Houston, Watson will be a top-tier, dual-threat fantasy quarterback.

The Houston Texans are reportedly standing firm in their goal to not trade quarterback Deshaun Watson, with the hopes that he'll play for the team in 2021. But considering Watson still hasn't spoken with head coach David Culley, things are still not looking great. Adding to the issues is that the quarterback trade market appears to be heating up, and if the Texans want to get the most value they can for Watson, they'd ideally need to get on the phone and get a trade done in the next few weeks. If they miss out on that window and Watson still won't report to the team once we get close to the season, this issue will be even bigger.

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said that the team has "zero" interest in trading quarterback Deshaun Watson, despite the fact that the quarterback formally requested a trade on Thursday. "Organizationally, I just want to reiterate our commitment to Deshaun Watson," Caserio said on Friday. Caserio and new head coach David Culley are saying that Watson remains part of the future of the organization, but only time will tell if that's the case. The futures of Caserio and Culley will likely be tied to whether Watson remains with the organization, but the signal-caller is unhappy and has leverage with a full no-trade clause. Watson is an explosive and athletic dual-threat quarterback and should remain a top-five fantasy quarterback no matter where he is playing in 2021, but his future will be the top offseason storyline to follow.
