Happy for Higgins with the TDs but Tate needs to have (way) more catches to justify putting him in over the potential value Ross adds with his speed to stretch the field. And I know the viewpoint of he still may not catch with his speed, but he can help open up the field more for others whereas Tate cannot.

It is Higgins who took Ross' job, not Tate. The current pecking order is something like this: Boyd, Green, Higgins, Thomas, Tate, then Ross.

If we include TEs and RBs then Ross' place drops down the list even further.

Ross has caught 2 of 7 targets for 17 yards. Thomas can easily fill the same role and is a much more reliable receiver.

We've witnessed Ross tumble from bring the #3 WR to the #6 in 3 short games.
