Good Pic. 

I'm not bashing Ross.  I repeat that if Bengals are to beat the Steelers tonight they need Ross not to be all butter fingers. He has been butter fingers his entire time with Bengals.  We now see that if and when he catches the ball he can score from any place on the field with his elite speed.  He may well be the fastest WR in the NFL.  Still it is like former Red Billy Hamilton in that he could not get on first base to steal 2nd base.  Fast but no bat.  Ross is fast but no hands.  

So I will single out Ross as a KEY in tonights game.  If he catches the passes thrown to him, he has the talent to help beat the Steelers. Plus big plays by Ross will open up the D for Boyd, TE's, Mixon, Bernard, Dalton.   However if he drops most of the passes to him, the Steelers will win and win easy on those lost opportunities.   

As to why I did not single out Tate is because I doubt anybody has or wants Tate in Fantasy Football at this time and he is in no way the talent Ross can be When He Catches The Ball. 

So I have no problem repeating that Ross actually catching most of his passes tonight IS A KEY to any hopes of Bengals beating what I consider to be a better team in Steelers, going on the 49ers games.   To beat or upset Steelers,  Ross catching his passes is a KEY.  Ross and Boyd both having big nights would be huge. 

I will add that with AJ Green out, it is KEY that Ross catches most of his passes.  If Ross and Boyd have big games, they won't need Green tonight.  AJ Green being injured forces Ross to be be a KEY to the game.  If he is not all butter fingers, Bengals can win this one. 

One last item is our awful O Line. When and if they give Dalton a chance to throw the ball, the receivers must catch the passes, because many plays the Steelers D is going to BLOW UP our weak O Line and the play is stopped right at the snap of the ball. As bad as they are, the O Line will provide a few passes, and those passes must be caught when opportunity knocks.

Ross is one of the best WR's in the NFL, WHEN HE DOESN'T DROP THE BALL.

and I'll add NFL announcers including ex players and coaches say game after game, the receivers are getting paid good money to make these catches. I have never heard them say it is OK for receivers to drop easy passes. Ross catching passes to him is a KEY with Green out if Bengals hope to beat Steelers TONIGHT.

GO BENGALS
