If you are going to put a RB in the slot then you might as well use a WR. RBs may catch a lot of passes, but they usually don't run precision routes like WRs. Instead they catch a lot of swings, screens, drags, and straight wheel routes.
The only real benefit I see is when both start out lined up in the backfield you can sometimes get a read on the defense when they adjust to motioning one out wide or into the slot.
