MVS/Watson have been the two starting WR's and they aren't good short/intermediate WR's because they have straight-line ramp-up speed and take a while to get open. Combine that with Kelce, who is noticeably slower than he ever has been in his career, and it's why Mahomes can't just get the ball out early. It's killing the offense. I'd rather they roll with Rice/Toney/Moore/and now James and stop playing the other two. Hell, I'd rather Hardman take all of MVS or Watson's snaps at the Z over those two. (He was drafted as Hill's replacement for the Z position)
