MVS isn't a guy that's going to give you 60+ yards a game, week in week out. That's not how Andy uses him. He's going to have the occasional 'big' game, 5-7 catches, over 80 yards, or whatever, but he's never going to do that every week. Not running 4-5 routes he's not.
His principal role is to vertically stretch the defense. He's just good enough at catching the ball that you have to honor those deep routes. But his primary responsibility is to drag a CB deep, and force the S to make a decision.

When Tyreek left they knew they couldn't replace Tyreek directly so they got a bunch of guys and toolboxed a solution.
MVS role was to threaten the defense with speed deep and draw coverage so Kelce and JuJu could own the middle of the field.
