For every 30 yard target Ross had on average he would have to have 4 10-yarders to drop his average to 14.

Nobody said he was only used on fly patterns.  Multiple people have stated that he was primarily used on fly patterns and other deep routes between the 20's.

Secondly, your argument is flawed because average yards per Target only takes into account the plays where he is actually thrown the ball.  By your logic, he could run 30 fly patterns a game without being targeted, but if they throw him 1 6 yard slant, he isn't being used primarily on fly patterns.

You also understand that they could Target him on 4 21 yard fly patterns, a slant from the 1 yard line, and a WR screen and his average yards/Target would be 14 while still being primarily used on fly routes, right?

You still haven't explained how he's so effective inside the redzone if he's running the same routes as between the 20's.
