The Heisman Torphy market is a fluid one to say the least.

2021 Heisman winner Bryce Young had an early season signature moment when he moved Alabama down the field twice in the fourth quarter to avoid an upset vs. Texas, while Caleb Williams gashed Stanford in his first PAC-12 game, making a statement that is now reflected in the odds.

There are plenty of worthy candidates this season as preseason favorite C.J. Stroud tossed for 351 yards and four touchdowns in Ohio State's blowout win over Arkansas State.

Let's check in on all the candidates and see how everybody stacks up following Week 2 and look ahead to Week 3 to see if there is anybody worth betting ahead of the next slate of games.
