The great thing about Ross is how he'll impact games even if he isn't putting up numbers.  On the other hand, he is so skilled that he might just run wild.   History says that won't happen right away.  But only time will tell.  If he can beat press coverage, look out.   With the cushion he'll get, he'll bee a walking five yard completion.

I'm not sure we can assume LaFell will reach 800, at least if you're assuming AJ Green stays healthy.

AJ Green played nine full games and then went out very early in the Buffalo game.
During the nine games Green was healthy, LaFell totaled 387 yards (43 YPG). Over the span of 16 games, that's 688 yards.

Given the added weapons in Ross and Mixon plus (hopefully) Eifert for a majority of games, I think it's more realistic for LaFell to get around 600-650 yards. He might reach 700 yards, but I'd be really surprised that he reaches 800 unless injuries occur to the other weapons.
