3. Josh Gordon

The fact that Josh Gordon is your 3rd best weapon in the passing game isn’t ideal. For all we know he might not even play this season, but looking at the roster right now he is the 2nd best wideout.

When Gordon was on the field he played great. He is such a talented wide receiver. He was the deep threat that the New England Patriots offense needed.

In 2018 Gordon only played in 11 games, but still was one of the Patriots best receivers. He racked up 40 catches for 720 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Gordon was forced to leave the team to take care of some personal issues and now will need to be reinstated before playing again.

If Gordon can stay on the field for an entire season the Patriots will be golden, but I’m not confident that will happen.

Next. Matt LaCosse is an upgrade from Dwayne Allen. dark

So the New England Patriots offense will have to step it up next season if they want to make it back to the Super Bowl.
