What happened: The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to evaluate wide receiver options on the trade market, Ian Rapoport said on ESPN's Big Day. The franchise has a consistent track record of aggressively pursuing midseason roster additions.

Why it matters: Adding a pass-catcher would reinforce the receiving corps after the offense stalled in Week 7. Upgrading the position group also helps protect the club's advantage atop the conference standings entering the middle of the 2026 regular season.

By the numbers: Kansas City holds a 5-1 record and the No. 1 seed in the AFC on a one-game losing streak following Sunday's 20-3 road defeat.

What to watch: NFL clubs have until the Nov. 10 trade deadline to finalize player deals for the remainder of the campaign.
