Auden Tate is Much Better Than Most People Think

However, that also highlights their biggest similarity.  They are both injury prone.  

Regardless of which one fits anyone's particular tastes better, both Ross and Tate are unreliable due to their injury history.  Bringing back an injury prone AJ isn't the answer, either.  They need to double dip in a deep WR class.

Ross's unavailability is a bigger minus than you are accounting for. Ross has missed 50% of the games since he was drafted. Your #2 WR cannot miss half the games over 3 years. Hypothetical yards count for nothing. They are like those Taylor moral victories as the losses kept mounting. Ross hasn't even accumulated a 1000 yards over 3 seasons. Maybe someday he'll have a 1000 yard season, but meanwhile he's been an underperforming, overdrafted, oft-injured head case with hand deficiencies.

I'll take the WR with the better hands and higher availability every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
