What happened: Pro Football Focus evaluated trade deadline priorities across the league, designating wide receiver as the primary target for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers. The Detroit Lions were pegged for pass-rush reinforcements to strengthen their defensive front.

Why it matters: Pittsburgh enters the market at 6-2 on a four-game winning streak, looking to reinforce its perimeter depth in the AFC North. Detroit contends in an NFC North where all four clubs hold winning records, heightening the premium on pass disruption. San Francisco seeks offensive stability following a 29-20 defeat against Atlanta.

What to watch: Front offices have until Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET to finalize trade agreements before the deadline passes.
