Just followed a link to the Herald Pats mailbag, and someone asked the following, which I think is sort of fun/challenging:

"Create a QB/RB/WR/WR/TE combo using a Patriots player from the 1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, and ‘10s."

If you start with the idea that Brady and Gronk tie up this century, not easy! How can you leave off Randy Moss?!

The writer's picks:

70s: Sam Cunningham
80s: Stanley Morgan
90s: Troy Brown
00s: Tom Brady
10s: Gronk

Have at it. Kinda fun.


Mailbag: Picking an all-time Patriots fantasy roster
 
I'll just do one off the top of my head...

QB: Brady
RB1: Sam Cunningham
RB2: Corey Dillon (2004 version)
WR1: Randy Moss
WR2: Stanley Morgan
TE: Gronk
FLEX: Troy Brown/Gino Cappelletti (scoring machine)/Ben Coates
DST: 2003 Patriots
 
QB: GOAT
RB1: Fred Taylor (Prime)
RB2: Corey Dillon
WR1: Randy Moss
WR2: Deion Branch
TE: GOATkowski
FLEX: Edelman
DST: ‘03 Patriots

Love the picks, but I think the challenge with this one is you have to pick one player from each decade. Much harder!
 
Like with @KontradictioN I'm thinking with this the idea is one player from each decade...
Ooops my bad. I guess reading is fundamental.

QB: GOAT
RB1: Curtis Martin
RB2: Dion Lewis
WR1: Randy Moss
WR2: Terry Glenn
TE: GOATkowski
FLEX: Cappelletti
DST: ‘03 Patriots
 
Quarterback: Tom Brady
Running back: Sam Cunningham
Wide receiver: Stanley Morgan
Wide receiver: Darryl Stingley (Terry Glenn so near...)
Tight end: Rob Gronkowski (Coates and Francis are very very near him)

Not sure if this works, unless Morgan played for a bit in '90?

New rule: list the decade for each player you're choosing!
 
No love for the sixties?

QB: Tom Brady (00s)
RB: Jim Nance (60s)
RB: Curtis Martin (90s)
WR: Stanley Morgan (80s)
WR: Randy Vataha (70s)
TE: Rob Gronkowski (10s)

If you want to go with a two-TE offense, replace Martin with Ben Coates.
If you want to go with three WR, add Terry Glenn instead.
 
70s: Sam Cunningham
80s: Stanley Morgan
90s: Ben Coates
00s: Randy Moss
10s: Tom Brady
 
Maybe this isn't interesting as I thought, lol. I think having to make the choice between Gronk and Moss tied me into a pretzel.
