**Top Trade Targets as NFL Week 6 Approaches: Key Players Who Could Be on the Move**

As the NFL season marches into Week 6, the divide between contenders and teams destined for the offseason is becoming clear. While no team is yet mathematically eliminated, franchises like the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, and Cleveland Browns seem more likely to trade assets before the November 5 deadline rather than make a late playoff surge.

Meanwhile, teams in playoff contention are eyeing opportunities to bolster their rosters with key acquisitions. This week's updated trade board identifies the top 10 players who could realistically be moved, factoring in player potential, past achievements, position value, contract status, and recent rumors.

New additions to this week’s trade list include Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II, Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, and Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins. These standout players are on teams with only one win, making their trade prospects noteworthy.

Conversely, the list no longer includes Denver Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones, New York Giants receiver Darius Slayton, and former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Devin White. Jones and Slayton remain in the playoff hunt, and White was released earlier this week.

Among the top targets, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins could be traded if the team fails to recover its season soon. Currently set to become a free agent in spring, Higgins' value is high, and teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys may be interested.

Houston Texans receiver Robert Woods also makes the list but drops a few spots due to Nico Collins' injury, which may temporarily increase Woods' role. Potential teams interested in Woods include the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets.

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker, who has been a solid defensive asset, remains a trade candidate. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys could be potential suitors, especially considering their defensive needs.

Carolina Panthers' quarterback Bryce Young, who has shown promise in limited play, might also attract trade interest. Teams like the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers may look at him as a long-term quarterback solution.

Cleveland Browns' cornerback Greg Newsome II could be another valuable trade piece. If moved, Newsome might interest the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, both of whom need to shore up their pass defense.

Other notable players on the trade board include New York Giants edge rusher Azeez Ojulari, Titans receiver DeAndre Hopkins, Raiders receiver Davante Adams, Browns wideout Amari Cooper, and Jets pass-rusher Haason Reddick, who tops the list due to his consistent sack production over the past four seasons.

The trade market remains dynamic as teams assess their postseason potential and look to either offload assets or acquire game-changing talents. With the November 5 deadline approaching, the NFL landscape could see significant shifts.
