We didn’t even make it to Week 6 before the first bad team began its fire sale. In the middle of last week, the Cleveland Browns traded starting cornerback Greg Newsome II and former starting quarterback Joe Flacco.
With six clubs one win or fewer through six weeks, we can expect more teams to sell off pieces ahead of the November 4 trade deadline. With other franchises eyeing Super Bowl XL, there are sure to be buyers.
Here, you’ll find our top 10 trade targets, ranked based on upside, past production, positional value, contract status, likely availability, projected price point, and recent buzz. We weigh both the value and likelihood of being traded equally against overall talent.
We’ll also examine some potential suitors for each player—based primarily on updated team needs, injuries, and any relevant recent buzz—and project trade values based on factors such as positional value, player upside, player age, and any comparable recent deals.
Which players are most likely to be available entering Week 7? Who should be at the top of teams’ lists of targets? What do these players likely cost? Let’s run down the list.
