Aaron Rodgers has a tough matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 3.

The Patriots have played the third-most man-to-man coverage this season, which has limited opposing quarterbacks.

Rodgers may struggle against their defensive scheme, especially with his limited mobility coming off the Achilles injury.

However, Rodgers has shown flashes of his elite ability in the first two games. He led a game-winning drive against the Titans, completing all five of his pass attempts

The Patriots' secondary has also shown some vulnerabilities this season.

Rodgers is currently ranked as a QB2 for Week 3. While he has the talent to put up big numbers, the Patriots' defense and Rodgers' health concerns make him a risky start.

If you have a safer option at quarterback, it may be wise to go with them over Rodgers this week. But if you need to take a chance on upside, Rodgers could still have a solid performance against the Patriots.
