What happened: The Kansas City Chiefs are focusing almost exclusively on adding a wide receiver ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, per James Palmer. Kansas City has engaged in ongoing trade discussions across the league with talks expected to intensify. A move to acquire receiving help is considered more likely than not before the deadline passes.

Why it matters: Offensive reinforcement has become an immediate priority after consecutive defeats dropped Kansas City to 5-2 on the season following a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. The pursuit of perimeter help comes after analysts questioned whether the aging Chiefs retooled enough to navigate the AFC title race.

What to watch: Front offices face the Nov. 10 deadline to finalize all roster trades for the remainder of the season.
