WR Jarius Wright
The problem: drops
Allen has also seen some of his receivers drop balls in key situations. Veteran slot receiver Jarius Wright has had the most trouble, here. Wright was an extremely reliable option for Cam Newton on third down last season, but he hasn’t come through for Allen in the same way. Wright has dropped six passes already and his struggles are part of the reason the team claimed Donte Moncrief off waivers. Wright has caught just 15 of his 31 targets this year, totaling 171 yards and no touchdowns as of yet.
