Thoughts for this trade? PPR League (1 Viewer)

10-man PPR League (non-dynasty) - top 6 go to playoffs - System: 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 Def, 1 K, 6 bench (16 total) | Dead-line: Nov 11th

I was offered Gronk, Ajayi, Agholor for M Thomas and McCoy (if I want to dump a TE, then Gronk, Ajayi, Agholor, Anderon for M Thomas, McCoy, Olsen)

Thoughts? Ajayi looked good in his first game with the (currently hot) Eagles (I don't think Clement will out-touch/play Ajayi again), Agholor's a bit shifty, (has mediocre match-ups onwards), Gronk...well its Gronk, Anderson has been pretty decent and would be a valuable WR2/3 for me. I do miss out on M Thomas (he does have tough match-ups for the rest of the season), McCoy (who does have a solid, favorable match-ups for the remaining season), Olsen (injured but Graham has been sustaining me well + I would receive Gronk).

My line-up would then be: QB: Ryan | WR: D Thomas, R Anderson, Agholor/Jackson/Stills | RB: Miller, Ajayi/Thompson | TE: Graham | Flex: Gronk 

My current line-up is       :  QB: Ryan | WR: M Thomas, D Thomas, D Jackson                     | RB: McCoy, Miller                | TE: Graham | Flex: Thompson

Do  you guys think it's a worthy trade (considering match-ups and all)? Should make some tweaks? Or an absolute "VETO"? Thanks for the input and leave your questions below for me too take a look at if you want.

His Team | 3rd of 10 @ 6-3

TE: Gronk, Doyle

I will be on the other side.  I think you should make the deal.  I am not a huge fan of M. Thomas.  He has been fine but the Saints are turning the corner a bit and becoming more of a running team.  The TD's aren't there as they have been in the past.  I think Agholor can be close because he is used in the redzone and has been a nice source of TD's this year.  He has scored a lot better then most think. 

The bigger loss for me is McCoy as he can have huge games.....but he also disappears occasionally.  I think Ajayi can get most of that production and believe he will be used more and more in Philly.  The swing for me is getting Gronk.  In the playoffs you need to have those type advantages to win the title.  Because of that I make this deal.  I would also include Olsen to get Robby Anderson.  He is coming along and will put up WR2 numbers as long as McCown keeps chucking the ball.

 
He's also including Funchess now into the trade. I'm considering it more now.

McCoy, M Thomas, Olsen for Gronk, Ajayi, Agholor, R Anderson, Funchess.

I would have done it without Funchess so getting him makes it even easier to decide.

 
I'm sorry, I misread his proposal (he sent it via text).

It's Gronk, Ajayi, FULLER (not Agholor), Funchess, R Anderson for McCoy, M Thomas, Olsen.

I'll try to squeeze Agholor instead of Fuller...but I'm leaning towards it.

Michael Thomas has been decent in PPR, most reliable out of all my WRs. But the saints have been pushing Kamara a lot recently. Plus just two TDs for the year. If Agholor is placed instead of Fuller, then it'll be a bit better with how hot the Eagles have been but he's a bit of a rollercoaster right now. I still see the potential.

McCoy is my MAIN problem. Man can dominate and score me a TON of points, or be an absolute dud (happened only twice I believe). However, Gronk would be a great addition since Hogan is injured. Anderson has been on my radar but I didn't realize I forgot to place my waiver for him (damn me).

 
I'd stay put. McCoy is just too valuable in my opinion. You are leaving a big hole at RB by dealing him. I like Ajayi, but who knows how much wok he'll get, and Miller is an RB2 at best. I'm also still a believer in M.Thomas, and Olsen might be back next week. If it were from scratch, i'd probably like it, but based on what you have, i don't see how your team gets better, unless Ajayi is close to McCoy, and that seems unlikely.

Yeah, I thought it through and I rejected. Losing my #1 RB, WR & top TE for a top TE, low tier RB1/RB2 and B/B WRs. I just didn't see my team going far. Thank you (and everyone else) for your help.
