MUST SITS

Every week there are going to be guys who you feel like you can rely on most, that just simply disappoint. I have three guys, who most likely will be high picks in the NFL draft who I think could fall into that trap week 1.

Whether it is a matchup issue, or the touches won’t be there due to a blowout, I hope this helps some of you avoid throwing your phone down into the grass Saturday afternoon.

Malik Zaire- Florida

Malik Zaire is expected to be one of the most elusive players at the quarterback position this season and Florida has a chance to make some noise nationally. However, avoid starting Zaire week one, and here’s why.

As many of you know Florida will take on the Michigan Wolverines Week 1 in one of the Saturday neutral location showcase games. Michigan (11) is a very scary matchup for Florida solely because we just do not know what to expect from the Wolverine defense.

With a lot of new guys on that side of the ball, I think Michigan is going to try a lot of different things out against Florida. And with a young core of skill players surrounding him, the different defenses thrown at him will not benefit Zaire.

Going forward in the season I think Malik Zaire is a great play, but week one be warned!
