Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens &#8211; Week 16<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/lamar-jackson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Lamar Jackson<\/a> has one of the most versatile skill sets in the modern NFL. The Baltimore Ravens superstar can either truck down a defender or zip it through the air into the hands of a willing receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, New England must contend with the rushing one-two punch of Jackson and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/derrick-henry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Derrick Henry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills \u2013 Weeks 5 and 15<\/h3>\n<p>The Patriots have the unenviable task of containing reigning league MVP Josh Allen twice in the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n<h2>Three worst QBs Drake Maye&#8217;s Patriots will face in 2025 NFL season<\/h2>\n<h3>3. Mason Rudolph, Pittsburgh Steelers &#8211; Week 3<\/h3>\n<p>Mason Rudolph is the de facto QB1 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a starting quarterback, Rudolph makes the game against New England significantly more challenging.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans &#8211; Week 7<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/college-football\/cameron-ward\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cam Ward<\/a> might be the No. 1 pick this year, but he&#8217;s yet to play a snap of professional football. Removing him from the list will take a few standout performances.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints &#8211; Week<\/h3>\n<p>Tyler Shough was taken 39 picks after Ward. Due to Derek Carr&#8217;s surprise retirement, Shough will likely start at QB for the Saints.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/909917-1686515549-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Nick Igbokwe&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nNick Uzochukwu Igbokwe is an NFL journalist at Sportskeeda.
