Seriously as bad as I hate it, I think AJ is done. Yes I know he had a DPI or two on his plays today but it's not just those plays. He's lost a step and a half and just can't get back in the saddle.

I understand the desire to give less reps to AJ. I don't understand why Ross would be considered an improved alternative to AJ.

Thomas and Tate are both having a better year than Ross. Both caught 100% of their targets today, even though it was only 1 each. Mike Thomas has caught 9 of 10 targets this year. Tate has caught 4 of 8 targets. Both are reliable, an adjective that cannot be assigned to Ross is any way, shape or form. Meanwhile, Ross caught 2 of 7 targets on the year.

Ross is the #6 WR, thus he's inactive. AJ may very well be done and if he's "benched" he does't fall to #6, in my eyes.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out that both Bernard and Mixon would make for a better WR than Ross. Both these two have good hands and run good routes.
