Veach and Reid have said they're expecting Toney and Moore to play big roles. Everything they've done thus far says they're serious about that.
But you need an insurance policy, in case Toney gets hurt again, or Moore does, or one or the other struggles for whatever reason. And so you grab James, who's in a similar physical mold, has some experience in this offense under Kafka, and gives you a baseline of professional receiver.
He's WR4, and can function just fine as that, and you're not screwed if he has to play more than that.

I think this is probably right, but I wonder if it's something between this and Megatron's take. Maybe it's insurance but focusing on covering Moore and to a lesser extent Toney. Whereas Watson might have been able to cover a little more of MVS in a pinch. I'm probably way off basically I agree with you, I think he's a guy you ask to cover a few roles including PR
