I thought Green, Boyd, and Ross would be the starters in 3-wide sets.
I like Tate a lot as a WR3/4, but I'd have concerns if the starters end up being Tate, Boyd, and Higgins next year, as there's not much speed there.
Speed is overrated. Keenan Allen was clocked at 4.7 coming out and Williams depending who you ask was around a 4.5 and Inman was around there as well. The Chargers made do with the speed that would be similar if the three-wide set was as you mention above.
That said, I don't think it's because of injury. I think it'll be because of a comfort Burrow has with him because of him being there the whole camp. "Start" may not work because of the play call they run out of the set, so let me rephrase it as he will be top 3 in snaps taken at WR. I think AJ, Higgins, and Ross will all see snap counts because they have all missed substantial times during camp.
