Kansas City started out the year with a disappointing 2-3 record, but the squad has since won two games in a row. Chiefs fans hope that with the NFL trade deadline approaching, the squad can go out and get some help.<\/p>\n<p>Some ESPN insiders are speculating at what the Chiefs might do. It seems that a surprise might be up the team&#8217;s sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chiefs are almost always active at the trade deadline. It seems they add a receiver most years. But assuming everyone stays healthy, they seem to like what they have at that position. I also don&#8217;t get the sense they&#8217;re desperate to add a running back, as has been speculated by many on the outside since the season began,\u201d Dan Graziano wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Graziano thinks Kansas City will instead address other needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Chiefs add at the deadline, I expect it to be on defense \u2014 maybe a veteran edge rusher \u2014 or possibly the offensive line,\u201d Graziano said.<\/p>\n<p>Graziano doesn&#8217;t appear to be alone in his speculation that Kansas City may be fine at running back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRunning back seems less settled. But to your point, Dan, Isiah Pacheco\u00a0is picking up steam (108 yards on 27 carries the past two weeks) and rookie\u00a0Brashard Smith&#8217;s workload is slowly increasing,\u201d Jeremy Fowler said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs are 4-3 on the campaign. The NFL trade deadline is November 4.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chiefs need to pick up more victories<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3566664\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3566664\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-City-Chiefs-head-coach-Andy-Reid-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-City-Chiefs-head-coach-Andy-Reid-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-City-Chiefs-head-coach-Andy-Reid-1.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-City-Chiefs-head-coach-Andy-Reid-1.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-City-Chiefs-head-coach-Andy-Reid-1.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-City-Chiefs-head-coach-Andy-Reid-1.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Chiefs rumors: Insiders make trade deadline predictions that could surprise fans\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3566664\">Denny Medley-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kansas City has looked strong in their last two games. The Chiefs last blew out the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0, and put on a masterful display of defense in that game. Kansas City held Las Vegas to just 95 total yards of offense. Before that contest, Kansas City also picked up a 30-17 victory over the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p>The victories need to keep coming. Kansas City is behind in the AFC West to the Denver Broncos.
