Total: 58 (21) - 36.2%

John Ross had 38% of his receptions inside the red zone and had a catch percentage of 72%, but only 19% of his targets were in the red zone. 
I think that's pretty indicative that he wasn't being used to his strength, which is shorter routes.

If he had a total of 21 catches, and 14 were inside of the 20 yard line, than that would be 67% of his receptions, not 38% as you had stated.  But yes his 78% catch rate inside the 20 is great, but he simply has to be more focused outside the 20, as that 27.6% catch rate would demonstrate.
