5 NFL Receivers Who Will Improve In 2017 (And 5 Who Won't)

10. Regress - Allen Robinson

Now, let's make something clear from the jump: Allen Robinson SHOULDN'T be on this list. He's only 23 and he already has a 1,400 yard, 14 touchdown season on his resume. In a fair world, Robinson would be challenging Antonio Brown and Julio Jones for title of best wide receiver in the NFL. However, the world is a desolate carousel of fun smashing savagery, so here we are.

The reasons for Robinson's inclusion here are twofold. First, there's Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles. Bortles' struggles in 2016 resulted in a notable statistical regression for Robinson, and if those struggles continue, then Robinson will have to play at a Herculean level to reach the heights he's capable of.

Second, there's rookie running back/generational phenom Leonard Fournette. The Jags drafted Fournette 4th overall with the intention of making him a major contributor on offense. Fournette will see the same kind of workload that Ezekiel Elliot saw last season and those touches will inevitably take away from Robinson's production.

Between Bortles struggling to evolve as a signal caller and Fournette pounding through defenses 20+ times per game, the chances simply won't be there for Robinson to showcase his tremendous talent.
