September 22, 2026

Another week of NFL action is in the books, and while the season is still early, some teams are making it clear that they can become contenders during the 2026-27 campaign, while others have immediately failed to live up to expectations.

The Las Vegas Raiders are one of the biggest surprises through two weeks, while the Los Angeles Chargers have been a major disappointment.

While it’s still early and there is plenty of time for teams around the league to turn things around, it’s never too early to look ahead at who is in the lead for the Arch Manning sweepstakes in the 2027 NFL Draft.
