Really behind Gronkowski? C'mon, we all kind of knew Gisele was right....

Its 1a 1b to me....mostly because I lucked up and was able to get BOTH of them in my Fantasy Keeper league. Already had Gronk but someone was dumb enought to drop Graham after week 2. After I picked him up off waivers EVERYBODY was pissed at me. Lot of people begged me to trade just 1 of them for like their whole roster it was hilarious. LOL. Needless to say after only lost 2 games last season (each one was because a lot of my players had byes) and won the Championship. Of course I kept both + Larry Fitzgerald.

Only bad thing about it is that I always had a hard time picking which one would start that week.....it was just hours of agony....even tho either way I couldn't make a wrong choice, LOL

I'm surprised Clayton ranked him as high as two.

Amazing how many great receiving TE's are out there right now. It's a beautiful thing, if you ask me.

Also surprised he made number two and Davis five. Graham is real good but I think Brees helped him get there. Another place and this would not be the case.

Jimmy is very special !

And Drew is going to have to accept the contract slot that's available to keep Jimmy in the Black and Gold...

We got Two for Clayton...

The man is money..........and his contract next year will cost the Saints a whole lot of money.

Grahams a star. He'll stay in the top 100 for the next 5 years with the right QB. I think Gronk and Graham are about even.
Except Pats didn't have many good receivers last year, so he was a common target. I do think Gronk runs better, but Graham catches better.

I did notice that Jimmy doesn't break many tackles. Thats probably due to his limited football experience. I expect that to improve as he develops.
