Drafting from the 5 hole in a 12 team PPR (1 Viewer)

[michaelu36]

My league decided to switch things up this year and run with the current offensive starting format

1 QB

1 RB

1 WR

1 TE

3 RB/WR/TE flex

With the ability to possibly start only 1 RB 3 WR and 2 TE, would Jimmy Graham in the first and Gronk in the second be suicide? I think I can get a decent RB in the 3rd and have my eye on several value WRs. This is just one theory I'm kicking around. I wouldn't even consider it if I was forced to start 2 RBs.

Thoughts?

Since you need to start at least 1 TE, Graham makes sense. But you would have to take out the top 12 RBs, top 12 WRs, and top 12 TEs, then group all of the rest at each position in one bucket to determine if Gronk would still end up as a viable flex play. I'm not sure that he would.
