FanDuel has updated its odds of winning the Heisman Trophy after a chaotic Week 11 of college football action. Colorado cornerback and receiver Travis Hunter now stands alone as the player with the best odds at +120.

He shared that title with Miami quarterback Cam Ward last week, but Ward’s odds have now dropped from +185 all the way down to +800 after the Hurricanes lost to Georgia Tech. That gives Ward the fourth-best odds of any player.

There are now only three weeks remaining in the college football regular season, so we have a pretty good idea of who the leading candidates for the Heisman will be. Now it’s up to them to separate themselves from the rest in these last few games.

You can view the full odds to win the Heisman Trophy, according to FanDuel, below.

+120 — CB/WR Travis Hunter, Colorado

Hunter has dazzled all season long with his ability to play both offense and defense. He put together another spectacular performance this past week with nine catches for 99 yards and a touchdown in a 41-27 win against Texas Tech.

The two-way star is doing something no one else in the country is, as he has 856 yards receiving and nine touchdowns as well as two interceptions, seven passes defended and a forced fumble. That, combined with the success the Buffaloes are having, makes him the frontrunner in Heisman Trophy odds.

+320 — QB Dillon Gabriel, Oregon

Gabriel comes in behind Hunter with the second-best odds as Oregon continues to march through the Big Ten in its first year as a member of the conference. The Ducks improved to 10-0 with a win against Maryland this past week and are the favorite to win the Big Ten Championship.

The sixth-year QB became the FBS’ all-time leader in passing touchdowns as he reached the 179 mark for his career in the win against the Terrapins. He leads the country with a completion percentage of 74.1% and leads the Big Ten with 2,848 yards and 22 touchdowns with only five interceptions.

+350 — RB Ashton Jeanty, Boise State

What Jeanty is doing this season is not typical, but he’s done it with such consistency that we’ve come to expect it out of him. The Boise State star surpassed the 200-yard mark for the fourth time this past week in a 28-21 victory against Nevada.

Jeanty has rushed for at least 100 yards in every game this season and has 1,734 total along with 23 touchdowns. It hurts him slightly that he doesn’t play in a power conference, but these types of numbers are impressive regardless of opponent.

+800 — QB Cam Ward, Miami

Ward took a fall down the Heisman Trophy odds after Miami suffered its first loss of the season by a score of 28-23 against Georgia Tech. He still had a good game to throw for 348 yards and three touchdowns, though he did also lose a fumble.

Regardless, he’s still been the best quarterback in the country from a statistical perspective with 3,494 yards and 32 touchdowns to six interceptions. He’ll have a chance to climb back up the odds if he can lead the Hurricanes to an ACC Championship.

+1400 — QB Kurtis Rourke, Indiana

Indiana has been the biggest surprise of the season as it is off to a 10-0 start and Rourke has been right at the center of it. He has thrown for 2,410 yards and 21 touchdowns with only four interceptions and made the Hoosiers a dangerous threat out of the Big Ten.

Rourke still has a long way to go to catch up to the top four players in the Heisman Trophy odds. However, he’s still having an incredible season regardless and could potentially take Indiana to its first-ever College Football Playoff.

+1800 — QB Jalen Milroe, Alabama

Milroe was on a tear to start the year but entered this past weekend’s game against LSU in a bit of a slump. He quickly broke out of it to rush for 186 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries in a 42-13 victory.

The quarterback now has more rushing TDs (16) than he does passing (13) this season. He seems to have taken a bit of a step back throwing the ball over the past month or more, which is the reason he slid down this far.

+2000 — QB Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss

Dart has had explosive performances this season, such as when he passed for 515 yards and six touchdowns two weeks ago against Arkansas. However, he hasn’t been as consistent as some of the players above him.

The Rebels’ signal-caller has thrown for 3,409 yards and 22 touchdowns with only four interceptions this season. He most recently led Ole Miss to a 28-10 victory against No. 3 Georgia this past week.

+4800 — QB Quinn Ewers, Texas

Ewers had arguably his best game all season this past week in a 49-17 rout of Florida. He threw for 333 yards and five touchdowns and looked the sharpest he has since returning from an abdomen injury last month.

His odds to win the Heisman are low, especially considering that he missed a couple of games this season. But he has thrown for 1,722 yards and 19 touchdowns as Texas is in contention to win the SEC in its first season as a member.

+4800 — QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Someone has to get the ball to Travis Hunter and that person is Sanders. The Buffaloes QB has thrown for 2,882 yards and a Big 12-leading 24 touchdowns to six interceptions as the team ranks second in the conference.

Sanders is regarded as a top pick in the NFL draft next season but his focus now is on getting Colorado to the College Football Playoff. If he does, could he also sneak in as a Heisman finalist?
