Two marquee running backs have already been dealt in the first eight weeks of the 2022 NFL season, but could more playmakers be on the move?
First, it was All-Pro Christian McCaffrey moving from the Carolina Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers this week, with the Panthers netting back four picks in return, including a 2nd, 3rd and 4th round pick in next year's draft. Then, after the news that the New York Jets lost star rookie running back Breece Hall to a torn ACL, GM Joe Douglas got on the phone and acquired Jacksonville Jaguars starting running back James Robinson for a conditional fifth-sixth round pick.
This year's NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday November 1 at 4 p.m. ET, and with less than a week to go, the rumor mill continues to churn out several more intriguing deals that could make a major impact on several teams' futures odds for the remainder of the season.
Here's how the latest Super Bowl odds stack up across the board.
Last season, edge rusher Von Miller was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, which helped propel them to a Super Bowl victory. So far, the 49ers have made the biggest move up the board with the trade for CMC, moving from +2000 to as low as +1000 ahead of Week 7. After their blowout home loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco is anywhere from +1400 to +1800 on the board.
Latest NFL Trade Deadline Rumors (Wide Receiver Market Heats Up with Brandin Cooks, Chase Claypool, Jerry Jeudy Reportedly Available )
Last week, Panthers receiver D.J. Moore was the subject of the bulk of the trade rumors, but multiple reports indicate the Panthers want to hold onto their No. 1 receiver at this point.
However, there's still many high profile names available.
Big-name WRs generating trade interest:
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 23, 2022
-- #Texans WR Brandin Cooks has been the target of multiple calls.
-- #Steelers WR Chase Claypool has been in focus, but is not expected to be deal, barring a shift.
-- Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy has been the center of calls, as DEN sputtered.
Texans receiver Brandin Cooks is back in his annual role as a trade deadline piece for a contender, while Chase Claypool of the Pittsburgh Steelers appears to be the odd-man out after drafting George Pickens in the second round.
A surprise name to the list is third-year receiver Jerry Jeudy in Denver. The former 15th overall pick is still viewed as a high-upside threat at wideout and could be a major asset if Denver decides to rebuild on the fly.
At running back, at the start of their bye week, the L.A. Rams publicly commented on the reports that Cam Akers will be moved, as head coach Sean McVay said in his press conference that they are looking to find Akers a chance for a fresh start somewhere else.
Sean McVay said there's no new update with RB Cam Akers. McVay said there will "probably a move made where [Akers] can be with another team." McVay said the Rams are looking for a chance to give Akers a fresh start with a new team.

"That's something we've explored."
Could the Kansas City Chiefs Make a Surprise Move at the NFL Trade Deadline?
With the Kansas Chiefs on a bye, perhaps this is a week they look to solidify another key player to their roster. Back on October 18, the Chiefs restructured Travis Kelce's base salary to clear up nearly $3.5 million in cap space, leading to him and brother Jason Kelce insinuating that receiver Odell Beckham Jr. might be joining the team.
