Chargers Among Top Landing Spots for All-Pro WR at Trade Deadline, According to Latest Odds
The NFL Trade Deadline is coming up, and the Los Angeles Chargers will surely be in the market for a wide receiver.
The team lost Mike Williams for the year due to a torn ACL, and are working with a makeshift wide receiver room of Keenan Allen and Joshua Palmer.
The team should be active this deadline as they find themselves at 3-4 and firmly in the race for the AFC Wild Card — and the oddsmakers clearly think so, too.
Per BetOnline, the Chargers have the fourth-best odds to land All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins this deadline at 7/1. They trail the Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, the latter two being direct competitors in the AFC Wild Card race.
Hopkins is coming off his best week of the season, where he reeled in four catches for 128 yards and three touchdowns.
His value is as high as it's been all year, which could lead the Tennessee Titans to trade him before the deadline. They signed Hopkins to a one-year deal this offseason, and would love to get a draft pick out of him considering they likely don't have playoff aspirations this year and wouldn't be expecting to bring Hopkins back next year.
A team like the Chargers could use a player of his caliber, as Justin Herbert would love the opportunity to throw to one of the game's best receivers.
It shouldn't take more than a mid-to-late-round pick to get it done, so there's no reason the Chargers shouldn't pursue a deal for the five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro wide receiver.
The NFL Trade Deadline is at 1:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, October 31.
