What happened: NFL.com is ranking potential receiver fits for Kansas City ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline. The Chiefs lost 24-28 at Denver on Nov. 1, their second straight defeat.

Why it matters: Tyquan Thornton is out for the season and Rashee Rice is also out, leaving Kansas City thin at wide receiver. A trade is the quickest way to add a target for Patrick Mahomes' offense, which Seahawks held to 3 points on Oct. 26.

What to watch: Kansas City has until Nov. 10 to add a receiver by trade.
