Of course a New England fan would argue for the merits of having a TE over a WR..
Good question for Asterix: would you take 2015 Gronk or 2005 Randy Moss?

So let's start with this -- assuming he is healthy (which isn't always the case of course), there is NO WR in the NFL I would take right now over Gronk for a single "must have it" game. Not Antonio Brown, or Megatron, or LBJ, or anyone else.
The reason is simple -- Gronk is not only a dominant receiver, he is also a dominant blocker when at his best. He's also the greatest receiving red zone threat in NFL history.
And i have simple proof for that one -- he has the highest TDs per games played of any receiver since WWII.

1. Gronkowski’s average of 0.83 touchdown catches per game is the best by any player since Packers Hall of Fame receiver Don Hutson tore up under-manned NFL defenses during World War II (0.85 TDs per game).
Athletic phenom wide receiver Randy Moss is a distant No. 3 on the list. He averaged 0.72 TDs per game.

2005 Moss versus 2015 Gronk? Perhaps the most dominant WR ever versus the most dominant TE ever? Hell, give me either one, I'll be happy.
