You like Ross in there because he fits a unique role in the offense, even though he's rarely productive and when he does produce, it's more negative plays than positive. 

You don't like Tate in there because he doesn't really fit a unique role, as well as being redundant since other guys can do what he does, even though he has produced when given a chance, complete with a long list of highlight reel catches.

The difference between the two really boils down to this.  John Ross scores TD's.  Auden Tate doesn't.  

That's a big reason why I get confused when people try to say Tate produces or is more productive.  TD's are production, too.  They are more important than yards when it comes to actually winning games.  

Like I've said, Tate vs Ross should really be about the #5 WR spot.  Neither guy should be heavily leaned on to see a bunch of targets.  With a limited target quantity, Ross represents a better opportunity to create a game changing play.  He's caught deep balls.  He's caught TD's.  Tate doesn't do either.  

As far as highlight reels go, TD catches tend to make the highlights, too.
