What happened: Pro Football Focus framed top deadline targets across the league, pegging Kirk Cousins for the Minnesota Vikings and Jonathan Taylor for the Denver Broncos. The assessment highlighted quarterback stability and backfield production as primary roster priorities for contending clubs. Both Minnesota and Denver enter the market evaluating offensive upgrades before the window closes.

Why it matters: Minnesota seeks offensive stability after dropping its last contest 15-19, while Denver aims to bolster its ground attack following a 28-24 win. Buffalo enters the deadline period at 6-1 with $4M in cap space to address defensive needs.

By the numbers: Taylor has run 148 times for 610 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games. Cousins has completed 180 of 283 passes for 2124 yards with 19 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: The NFL trade deadline closes on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET as front offices finalize potential roster additions.
