<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 1 provides a fresh opportunity for several under the radar prospects to build on their Week 0 performances and make a bigger statement. Each of these players showed flashes in the opening week and enters the next matchup with an opportunity to increase their production. From quarterbacks with dual-threat ability to explosive receivers and running backs looking to establish themselves, this group has the tools to create problems for opposing defenses. A strong Week 1 performance could provide valuable momentum and put these names firmly on the radar.

He carried the ball 17 times for 90 yards in Week 0, showing the ability to produce consistent yardage while looking for opportunities to break bigger runs. After losing a fumble, Arnds-Volcin will have an opportunity to respond with a strong performance. A 100 plus yard rushing game and a trip to the end zone would provide the perfect statement. With Liberty also coming off a loss, he could see plenty of opportunities to attack the defense. His physical running style and potential workload make him an intriguing Week 1 breakout candidate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2142851"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a90a574e399b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bentley enters Week 1 with an opportunity to build on an impressive opening performance and become a bigger factor in the offense. He finished Week 0 with two receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown, showing impressive speed for a receiver standing 6'4. Bentley's size and athleticism can create matchup problems for opposing defensive backs, particularly near the red zone where his frame gives him an advantage. The next step will be becoming more consistent with his opportunities and turning additional targets into production. His ability to stretch the field vertically gives the offense another explosive option. If Bentley can put together a more complete performance in Week 1, he could quickly become a receiver to monitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2347802"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a90a574e39f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anderson showed his ability to impact the game both through the air and on the ground in Week 0, making him one of the more intriguing dual-threat quarterbacks to watch in Week 1. He completed 14 of 19 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown while adding 120 rushing yards on just eight carries. Anderson's explosiveness as a runner was highlighted by an 80 yard rushing touchdown, shows how quickly he can change the game when space opens up. He now faces Elizabeth, which is also coming off a victory, creating an intriguing matchup. Anderson will look to establish himself early and continue making plays in multiple phases. His dual-threat ability makes him a player to watch closely in Week 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2347818"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a90a574e3a3b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gizzi enters Week 1 looking to bounce back and establish himself as a small school quarterback on the rise. He completed 12 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in Week 0 while throwing one interception. Gizzi also contributed with his legs, carrying the ball 15 times for 50 yards and showing his willingness to make plays outside the pocket. The next step will be turning those opportunities into more consistent offensive production while helping his team get back on track. A strong Week 1 performance could provide the momentum Gizzi needs to start climbing the ranks. His ability to contribute as both a passer and runner gives him multiple avenues to make an impact against his next opponent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
