10-team standard auction keeper league

So after what I considered to be a knock-out draft, I find myself at 1-4. My team is as follows after 5 weeks:

Eli, Cousins (both off waivers. Thanks RG3)
Calvin, Harvin, Crabtree
Charles, McCoy, Asiata, MJD, Hyde, Freeman
Gronk, Kelce

Being 1-4, I'm ready to mix my team up. So I've got two offers, in both I would be giving McCoy and Kelce.

Trade 1 gets me Graham
Trade 2 gets me J. Thomas and Pierre Thomas

Which do you prefer? I'm leaning trade 2.

Edit: I should have mentioned that we can play a TE in the flex, so I would be starting both Graham and Gronk.

That is a pretty damn good draft. Furthers the point on how random fantasy football is.

Stand pat and hope your luck changes sooner than later.

I see you have Gronk....so I assume you can flex a TE?

I like trade 2 if you can get a better RB than Thomas in the trade. Ingram is due back.

You should see one of the teams that is 4-1. Starting RBs are Ridley and Spiller, starting WRs are Decker and Hilton. Yet I'm 1-4 and he's 4-1.

I've been trying to stay put but at this rate I just feel like I need to make some sort of changes to get something going.

Yes I should have put that in the OP. I would play both Graham and Gronk, one of those two in the flex.

I know the feeling. A couple of my underwhelming teams are 4-1/5-0 and the teams I felt that were my best are the complete opposite.

You would have to think that some of the guys you've listed worst numbers are behind them. You'll kick yourself if some of them turns their season around and you sold low on them after you endured all their frustration. Not that those deals are bad, just that you already have Gronk(his snap count is increasing) and it'll leave you with a hole at RB2... well technically for you, RB1b.

Plus, Graham is on bye. He's not going to help you help you this week. It's important you don't fall 1-5 and losing McCoy this week while gaining Graham doesn't do you any favors.

Yeah I know I am definitely hurting my rb situation, and I liked that McCoy got 24 touches last week but still turned in mediocre numbers, so with that workload I'm sure he will pick up production.

I just keep holding out every week because SURELY players this good HAVE to start producing eventually, right? Yet here I am at 1-4. I'm sure they will eventually play well, and if I was 3-2 or even 2-3 I would stay put, but at 1-4 I need some wins right now.

This trade wouldn't go through until after this week anyway, so I would be missing Graham's bye and avoiding mccoys bye down the road as well.

ETA: thanks for the advice. I hate when people here ask for help, receive it, and then aren't considerate enough to say thanks.
