Stop underestimating our receivers

In my opinion, I didn't count on Ross to be a huge contributor this year. Maybe on some gadget plays and other ways to take advantage of his speed, but not as a straight up receiver.

The point is, is that I feel like a lot of guys on this roster are undervalued. Brandon Lafell had a GOOD year last year and hes more than capable of being a really good number 2 receiver. Tyler Boyd is only going to be better than last year and I expect him to have some what of a break out year. Eiffert is one of the best tight ends in the league and we all know what AJ is capable of.

This team has other weapons without Jon Ross. He is a complete luxury at this point and the season isn't going to fall apart because hes hurt.

While I support this notion, AJ Green is the only receiver you mention that can get consistent separation.  Ross was going to help take advantage (and still will) of the matchups afforded by doubling AJ Green on the opposite side.

I think Cody Core will get more snaps that many of us thought coming in to this season, because the guy has velocity Lafell and Boyd can't touch.
