Last week, a slew of new teams emerged. It’s still too early to tell which clubs are contenders and which are pretenders, but some teams have jumped out to 2-0 leads and appear to be serious competitors.
The Broncos, led by quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, are one of only a few teams to start the season undefeated, but they just missed making this list.
There are also a number of 1-1 teams, like the Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns, and Dallas Cowboys, who might also be in the top 10.
The Top 10 teams entering into Week 3 are shown below:
