If Moore slacks off, James can step in and Moore becomes the backup at both spots.
When we signed him, I cited Toney in my hockey analogy because I think that's EXACTLY how James makes himself really valuable here.

Ideally he's a 4. He might be a 3. But if (when) Toney goes down, he can 'play up' for short stretches and fill that Toney role in a productive fashion. And it's why I have him WAY ahead of Watson on my list - Watson can't play up. No matter how many injuries you have, he's a 5th WR and STs contributor. James, OTOH, can.

That's super useful when you know you have a guy in Toney who's injury prone.

At the risk of repeating myself:
