Two or three weeks in the books, depending on whether Week 0 counts as a week to you. Texas is the #1 football team in the country, Virginia Tech is undefeated, and Darian Mensah is the Heisman favorite. I'm not going to lie, I'm a happy camper with how the first couple of games have panned out. The wide receiver class is awesome, the running backs are running pure, and Trey'Dez Green is Trey'Dez Green-ing.
For a look at the top six prospects in the early rankings, check out last week's Big Board here.
There's going to be some serious movement next week once we can start establishing trends and see top prospects begin in-conference play, but for now, let's keep getting to know the key names at the top and play a little stock up, stock down. For a refresher, here's V1 of the Big Board before any college football kicked off:
The 2027 Superflex Rookie Big Board
7. Dante Moore, QB, Oregon
Moore started his college career as a five-star recruit who committed to UCLA. He started as a true freshman there, but entered the transfer portal to head to Oregon and sat behind Dillon Gabriel for a year. After a strong 2025 campaign, he was a top contender for QB2 in the 2026 NFL draft class, but opted to return to Oregon and was on the cover of the college football video game this summer.
Moore has an NFL arm. Period. Full stop. He's an underrated athlete who has developed a feel for the pocket each season in his college journey. Week 2 showed some of the flaws: if his comfort level in the pocket falls, he can make some boneheaded mistakes and put his team in a hole. It's early, and I'm willing to shrug off Week 2 as a fluke, but his naysayers will point to this week to say that's why he's not a top prospect.

8. LaNorris Sellers, QB, USC
I have a type, and I know it. But so do most fantasy managers. Sellers was a dual-threat three-star prospect out of high school, and redshirted at USC before taking over the starting job as a redshirt freshman. He was immediately impactful and was on the All-SEC freshman team, then has been second- or third-team All-SEC as a starter.
You could walk into Home Depot and find fewer tools than Sellers was born with. Listed at 6'3", 238, he has contact balance only rivaled by running backs in this class. His arm strength helped launch a space program. He's one of the fastest players in the SEC, and that's while playing with a track star at wide receiver. Despite all that, the USC program hasn't kept up in the offensive line arms race, and it's led him to some bad habits in pocket navigation and working through his reads.

9. Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama
Ryan Coleman-Williams was a five-star, track star, 17-year-old starting at wide receiver for Alabama in 2024. The excitement around Coleman-Williams reached unreasonable levels after a freshman season with 900 yards from scrimmage and ten touchdowns.
Since then, it appears that Coleman-Williams has a case of the yips. This early ranking was a flag plant, and I thought he would turn it around this season. Through two games, he has 173 yards, which is great. But he's also left about 100 yards on the table through drops and volatile play. He's unlikely to be the WR3 when all is said and done, but it's hard to believe the maniac who took the NCAA by storm as a 17-year-old has just disappeared.

10. Trey'Dez Green, TE, LSU
Trey'Dez Green was the number two tight end recruit in the nation, and a darn good basketball recruit at the same time. He committed to LSU and actually managed to play both as a freshman. He caught four touchdowns on just 13 receptions, and then played limited minutes for the basketball team. He decided to step away from basketball and focus fully on football after his freshman year.
And boy, oh boy, am I glad he did that. He's got a pterodactyl's wingspan and moon boots on while on the field. We truly haven't seen a red zone threat like this since Jimmy Graham, and I'm not sure the NFL is equipped to deal with it. He's made huge progress as a blocker in 2026, and if he packs on a little more muscle, we're talking about a serious, blue-chip tight end prospect.

11. Mark Fletcher Jr., RB, Miami
Mark Fletcher Jr. is a modern wrecking ball. Originally a four-star recruit, Fletcher played heavily as a true freshman in a three-way committee, then a split backfield with Damien Martinez as a sophomore. Despite some solid draft buzz in 2026, he returned to Miami to attempt to make a title run next to Darian Mensah.
If you like monster trucks, lifting heavy, and grown-man running, Fletcher is your guy. He runs like Isaiah Pacheco had reasonable footwork. Every yard he gains feels like he's physically taking it from the defense, like a Viking in an English church in 900 A.D. He has some long speed concerns and isn't heavily used in the passing game, but he can be a between the 20s and goal line rusher in most offenses in the NFL.
- Draft Prediction: Day Two
- Stock Up
12. Isaac Brown, RB, Louisville
If Mark Fletcher Jr. is the thunder in this class, Isaac Brown is the lightning. A three- or four-star recruit depending on the site, Brown committed to Louisville and immediately took off. He rushed for 1,000 yards as a true freshman and earned All-ACC honors.
Brown is the best big-play threat out of the backfield in this class. He's averaging over seven yards per touch through his college career, and part of that is his unique ability to accelerate while also changing directions. His vision between the tackles leaves some room to be desired, but if he gets the ball in space, he's a mess for defenders to deal with. After a brutal showing against Ole Miss, he's a faller in early ranks, but in the right system at the next level, he can be a PPR scam with long-TD upside.

Quarterback Prospect Hype Tracker
This class won't live or die by the quarterbacks, but multiple first-round quarterbacks can take it from great to an all-timer for dynasty.
Note: These are in the order of my early scouting notes, not set-in-stone rankings.
Arch Manning, Texas: Rewatching the Ohio State game, I saw the excitement around Manning, but also some of his warts. If he declares, he'll be a top-five pick because of his tools and last name, and his processing speed is getting a little better. He's not Trevor Lawrence or Andrew Luck, but some will view him as the best QB prospect since 2024.
Dante Moore, Oregon: See above; it was an ugly week. Arm talent and tools are still there, but he needs to chill out in the pocket for the rest of the season. I'll write off Week 2, but if it becomes a trend, I'm concerned about his draft expectations.
Darian Mensah, Miami: The glow-up is real. He carried Duke to an ACC championship last year, and now he doesn't have to be Superman for Miami. That change has let him sit in the pocket, pick apart defenses with poise and accuracy, and he hasn't had to be a magician out of structure. We have a live one, folks.
Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State: The more I watch Mestemaker, the more I see a raw but fearless prospect. Which makes sense after he was a backup in high school. After elevating North Texas last year, he just outplayed Dante Moore in Week 2. He's big, strong, has good enough wheels to be fun, and plays with reckless abandon both as a rusher and as a passer. That reckless abandon is awesome when he's fitting it into tight windows, but it's also the reason he has 13 interceptions in 16 games. There's a strong chance he goes back to school, but NFL GMs will be whispering about him in December.
CJ Carr, Notre Dame: Notre Dame hasn't been challenged in 2026 yet, but CJ Carr has played two almost perfect games so far. Last year the team was able to rely on the running game completely with two future first-rounders in the backfield, but this season is all about Carr. Week 10 against Miami is going to be must-watch TV for fans and scouts alike.
LaNorris Sellers, USC: See above. I love him, but I'm afraid to get hurt again. For every Josh Allen there's a dozen Anthony Richardson Sr.s and Jalen Milroes and Malik Willisi (I've decided Willisi is the plural of Willis, although maybe he's going to work for the Dolphins!). Maybe it's hopium, but there's a world where Sellers is the best quarterback in the class with his ability to move the ball in multiple ways. Sellers versus Mississippi State and Kamario Taylor is going to be a movie.
Julian Sayin, Ohio State: Please don't get mad at me, Ohio State fans, but I don't see an NFL starter here. His arm lacks the power to throw deep or outside the numbers consistently, and his smaller stature and limited athleticism mean he has to be perfect as a passer to get a chance. He's a beneficiary of the Ohio State wide receiver factory, and can still be a solid backup at the next level.
Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss: Will NFL teams throw thresholds out the window for a barely 6'0", 24-year-old super senior? Part of me really hopes so, because if we take size out of the equation, Chambliss may be the best quarterback in the class. He plays the game with high processing and accuracy, and his arm is good enough to make it work. Unfortunately, he lacks the stature to stand in the pocket with regularity and the athleticism to get by with a rollout game on a regular basis.
Drake Lindsey, Minnesota: Grandson of an NFL running back, Lindsey is a throwback pocket passer with apparently improved touch through two weeks. Maybe it's nothing, and he still only has one passing touchdown, but some of his throws are big-boy throws that translate well to the next level.
More names will pop onto this list, and some will fall off as the season goes on, but if I had to bet today, I'd say four quarterbacks can sneak into the first round of next year's NFL Draft. Fingers crossed, this class (as a whole, not the quarterbacks specifically) will be special.
