With the NFL trade deadline almost here (Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. ET), wide receiver remains one of the buzziest positions to watch. Although there's little chance at a true blockbuster involving a big veteran name, there are many teams interested in adding to the position.
One wide receiver, John Metchie III, already has been dealt from the Eagles to the Jets to provide the latter team some needed youthful depth. A few more wideouts should be moved, given playoff contenders such as the Steelers, Broncos, Patriots have been attached to getting a boost at the position.
Here's ranking the receivers on the block, from the most likely to be traded to the longshots.

9 most available WRs at 2025 NFL trade deadline
1. Rashid Shaheed, Saints (age: 27)
Shaheed is getting increasing buzz because of his value as a needed speedy deep threat to a number of teams. Going from New Orleans to Denver to play for coach Sean Payton makes the most sense. He also would be a natural fit with former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak in Seattle.
2. Jakobi Meyers, Raiders (age: 28)
Meyers is a classic big slot who has expressed his desire to leave Las Vegas. The Steelers have gotten their share of buzz to give them the best such player since JuJu Smith-Schuster in his early prime. But returning to the Patriots with Josh McDaniels keeps feeling better.
3. Jauan Jennings, 49ers (age: 28)
Jennings has gone hot to cold to hot again on the potential of a trade from San Francisco. The problem has been continued health concerns with the wide receivers, but with Kendrick Bourne added and both Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk on track to be healthy together soon, it would make sense to take one of several offers and move Jennings, a pending free agent, for some fair draft capital.
4. Adonai Mitchell, Colts (age: 24)
Michell is buried on their depth as a 2024 second-round pick with Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, when both healthy, having a strong hold on the respective outside deep threat and quick slot roles behind Michael Pittman Jr. Mitchell had that big-play shot filling in more against the Rams, but the lost fumble on a would-be TD didn't help his cause to stay.

5. Calvin Ridley, Titans (age: 30)
Ridley has missed time with his current hamstring injury and may also not play in Week 9. The team is getting a good look at rookies Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor, with rookie tight Gunnar Helm also seeing a developing opportunity. Ridley doesn't fit with the youth movement and hasn't been the needed veteran target for Cam Ward. He can fit somewhere else as a versatile field-stretcher.

6. Jalen Tolbert, Cowboys (age: 26)
Dallas' No. 3 target behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens is a pending free agent. That status has been fading fast in favor of speedy KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy also flashed when getting ample target volume. He could be another low-key option for the Bills or Steelers.
7. Chris Olave, Saints (age: 25)
The Saints would like to keep him around for the next young franchise QB, whether it is rest-of-season rookie second-round starter Tyler Shough or a higher draftee in 2026. But if he were to move, it would need to be a big-time offer. Speaking of the Bills, Olave would be a game-changer most for Buffalo.
8. D.J. Moore, Bears (age: 28)
Moore can't be ruled out being traded with the Bears having an aggressive receiving youth movement. Moore has become the No. 2 behind second-year Caleb Williams go-to guy Rome Odunze and second-rounder Luther Burden III is waiting for a bigger role. Moore would be a more expensive route for a team such as the Broncos or Patriots to make.

9. Brian Thomas Jr., Jaguars (age: 23)
The second-year first-round pick had 87 catches for 1,282 yards and 10 TDs in a stellar rookie season and was supposed to thrive in Liam Coen's offense. This season, his pace so far is 66 catches for 886 yards and 2 TDs. Part of the issue is injury but the bigger is still not clicking with Trevor Lawrence in the new promising passing offense. With Jacksonville at 4-3 and trying to get BTJ on track after the Week 8 bye, it would take a hefty draft pick offer for the Jaguars to give up on his known immense talent.
