Ewers moved to the top of Heisman futures after racking up 246 passing yards and three touchdowns as his Longhorns defeated the Wolverines in Week 2. His performance moved him to first on the board from seventh.

Second on the board is Dart at +800.

The Ole Miss quarterback’s odds shortened slightly from +850. In the Rebels’ season opener, he threw for 418 yards and rushed for 27 in his team’s 76-0 demolition of Furman.

In Week 2, he had 377 passing yards and one touchdown.

Rounding out the top three is Ward at +850. He moved from +950 after The U’s 56-9 Week 2 win over FAMU.

Further down the board is Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, whose odds had gotten as short as +2200. Before Week 2, he was at +3500.

He has now fallen all the way to +8000 after the Buffaloes’ dismal 28-10 loss to Nebraska.

Watch Noah Fifita and Cam Rising

January is for mining value in the Heisman market. I’m not betting on any of the favorites now because those prices will mostly hold steady through the summer.

I’m interested in two longer shots: Noah Fifita (+2000 at time of pick, currently +4000) and Cam Rising (+7000 at time of pick, currently +4000).

It’s undoubtedly Fifita’s show in Tucson going forward, and he has a stable of talented wideouts, led by sophomore Tetairoa McMillan.

Meanwhile, Rising is a longer shot with legs. He threw for 3,000 yards and accounted for 32 touchdowns two seasons ago, but missed all of 2023 after tearing his ACL in the Rose Bowl.

Utah should be favored in its first six games and if Rising puts up numbers, those 60- and 70-1 odds will evaporate.
