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.

 

In terms of being WR3, yes. It was probably bound to happen at some point anyway given Higgin was the 33rd pick in the draft.
But it was Tate who swapped with Ross as the inactive WR, so in a way, Ross and Tate are more competing with each other for playing time.
