I have Graham AND Gronkowski...

So, I started my first two weeks of the season with JG as my starter. But in week three I benched Graham for Gronkowski. Not because of Jimmy, but more because I couldn't look past what the Pats and Gronkowski were doing. Well, last weekend bit me in the ASS!! Gronks only put up like 1.5 Fantasy points, while Top Jimmy was a world beater.

I hate to be a reactionary fantasy player, and matchups tell me Gronkowski may still be the way to go this weekend. But I'd like some input. Between the two, who would YOU start?

And before you suggest a trade, I am in a 12 man league, where trades have to be approved by everyone in the league, so I'm not really looking at that as a viable option.

I'd just start Graham. It looks like he's going to get his fair share of targets every week. The only player guaranteed a large dose of targets every week in that offense is Welker. Hernandez is also on his way back.

Go with Graham, especially until Colston shows he's all the way back.
