What happened: The Minnesota Vikings are exploring trade options to add depth at running back and tight end ahead of the deadline, according to ProFootballRumors. The front office is actively gauging the market at both positions to bolster offensive personnel for the second half of the season.

Why it matters: Minnesota enters Week 9 at 6-0 through six games, holding the top seed in the conference after a 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The search for reinforcements follows calls for the unbeaten Vikings to add help before the roster cutoff.

What to watch: The Vikings visit the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 1:00 PM ET, while trade discussions continue toward the Nov. 10 deadline at 4 p.m. ET.
