John Ross has eclipsed both of those marks through 2 seasons already - 2018 and 2019.
As a receiver, Ross is a far more productive than Erickson even with the drops.
Yeah, wanting Erickson over Ross is ridiculous. Erickson is fine as #4/5 WR, but if he’s in your top 3 you have a really BAD offense.

With AJ Green out Boyd is getting his double coverage. So it is not enough for Ross to drop most of them and catch just a few. Somebody said he catches 1 a game. With Green out, that isn't good enough. Instead of Green & Boyd it is Boyd & Ross. Oh yes, there is Erickson & Tate, but lets get real. Ross has far greater talent, but he must not drop so many tonight. To beat the Steelers without AJ Green, it will take Boyd & Ross having great games, catching whatever is thrown near them. Ross still getting single covered could kill a team if he just catches the ball.

We have some even hoping he fails saying drops and fumbles.
He’s had one great game out of three. That Seattle game will be like the year 2015 , people will always mention that game 5 years from now.
