What happened: ESPN's Dan Graziano reported the Los Angeles Rams are evaluating receiver additions ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline with Davante Adams on IR. Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Josh Downs of the Indianapolis Colts and George Pickens of the Dallas Cowboys were cited as fits to stretch defenses and separate in man coverage for Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.

Why it matters: Los Angeles sits 2-4 and needs an outside winner to keep defenses from crowding intermediate areas. Adding a downfield separator preserves one-on-one chances for the remaining starters through the second half.

What to watch: Los Angeles gauges asking prices and seller willingness from Dallas, Jacksonville and Indianapolis ahead of the deadline.
