It's a tuffy been scratching my head about it for a while. I was going to agree with the other answer, but after thinking about it I am going to say team 2. Before I explain let me say never played a ppr league and in fact this is my first year doing fantasy football. As I understand ppr leagues give you a point per reception thus making WR and others who catch balls more valuable. So in my football opinion I do not see a big difference in Graham and Gonzalez. Yes Graham is the best player in the deal and will get more points per week than Gonzalez, but to me TE don't vary that much (at least top 5 or 10). Graham will get more yds and maybe 1 or 2 more recpetions. Brees likes to spread the love and Gonzalez still looks to be a safety blanket to Ryan. Also in redzone Tony seems still to be 1 of Ryans top reads. Thus I believe TD wise Graham and Gonzalez will be very close at end of season. Also while White isn't top dog he will still get his. I think Welker will miss the 100 rec mark this season. With the Pats running game (and commitment to) plus Loyd and those great TE's I think the 5 rec mark he had last week will be standard this year. That is not to say he wont have a monster game here and there, but I would go White over any WR on team 2. Plus on team 2 you can bench Dywer and go with a WR (maybe Welker at flex) which will more than likely net more points. That's my reasoning. Team 2 will lose out head to head between Graham and Gonzalez, but will net more points in the long run. Sorry so long, but one more thing. Team 1 does seem a little light on WR while team 2 looks like it needs a RB. I like Green-Ellis, but Richardson is a question. I had Trent on a team and benched in place of Spiller. Trent will be a good RB I think, but I am going to sit for a few weeks to give him a chance to get use to NFL. Just a thought. Sproles would be awesome, but Martin or Morris for a team 2 WR seems to work for both parties. I think either is upgrade over Trent at least for near future. Sorry so long and thanks for the answer! it help alot hope this helps you!

suited one is Ingram & Howling for Tolbert. in general in case you get factors for return yards from Howling. Many say Ingram is going to have a huge 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Saints are like Indy nonetheless and don't remember heavily on the run. Definately stay removed from the Peterson commerce and likewise the Felix Jones commerce. With Marion Barber long previous Felix is going to have a great 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Fred Jackson will in all likelihood lose his beginning interest to CJ Spiller if he would not do nicely early interior the 300 and sixty 5 days.
I say team one because they are getting the best TE in the league and Roddy White isn't getting as many balls anymore (Julio Jones gets more) my only hesitation for team one is they don't have great WR depth but I say team one gets the better deal
Team one takes Graham and I am SURE you can get something decent of waivers.
He will more than double Gonzo's points. the drop off in points on White can be made up with your depth at WR. Not to his level of course but overall your points go up considerably. Graham will be a MAJOR beast this year and beat out Gronk as his partner in NE (Pats fan here) will play a larger role this year and cut Gronk back a little. No 17TD's this year.
Wouldn't hurt to ask who is going to cut, If its Holmes/Rice/Britt if he can stay healthy & out of trouble/Welker (that would be foolish for him especially a PPR) and see if he can throw that guy into the mix instead of waivers. Then if you prefer a waiver guy Take him and cut the other. Many are targeting Hill for NYJ this week, he is still #2 behind Holmes.
Don't reject it, but bounce this one off him and see if he bites first, wait a little if he doesn't respond take the deal still a steal.
Looking at his team, he didn't draft well at all.
My main teams Roster below:
Rodgers, Aaron GBP QB
(Plays every week but Bye week)
Griffin III, Robert WAS QB
(Just STOLE off waivers, round 2 mind you and Traded Newton for AP.
I had grabbed Newton in Rd 4 strictly as trade bait instead of taking AP/MJD/Matthews until I saw something from them. AP at 85% is still top 5 after what I saw last week) Also don't be surprised if I trade him in a package if he does it again Like Newton did last yr.
Bradshaw, Ahmad NYG RB
Bush, Michael CHI RB
Forte, Matt CHI RB (hurt last night thus drafted Bush just in case)
Hillis, Peyton KCC RB
Peterson, Adrian MIN RB
Richardson, Trent CLE RB
(Thinking about and Offer on Ridley here straight up, don't want my heart to get in the way and Vereen is back this week in a passing Offense, will wait ONE more week but may blow the offer, or save myself for that matter)
Bowe, Dwayne KCC WR
Maclin, Jeremy PHI WR
(Hurt this week but may play but on the bench starting Bowe)
Moore, Denarius OAK WR
(Once Healthy will be a solid #2 WR)
Moore, Lance NOS WR
(Waiver Grab cutting Garhart RB Min)
Wallace, Mike PIT WR
(Played VERY well with ZERO Pre Season!)
Celek, Brent PHI TE
(Ok working on this one, had a decent week 1, and finished strong last year one guy has BOTH Graham and Gronk and the other will not Trade Hernandez) Work the waiver wire for who is the best match ups each week as NONE jump out at me though many so called Guru's on the web like the WR's on Vickings/Ravens/Giants as break out players. I may grab Fred Davis who was just cut.
Gostkowski, Stephen NEP PK
Packers, Green Bay GBP Def
(Almost cut them this week for my Pats, 4 picks 7 sacks glad I didn't)
