[Andy Hicks]

If you have any SUNDAY updates on the status of Frank Gore, please post them here.

If you want to discuss your lineup predicaments or options, go to the Assistant Coach forum or another thread in the Shark Pool discussing his situation.

This thread is strictly for the latest Sunday news

According to FOX Sports' John Czarnecki, "it sounds like (Frank) Gore will be inactive due to a bad ankle."

According to FOX Sports' John Czarnecki, "it sounds like (Frank) Gore will be inactive due to a bad ankle."

Hmmm. I guess this news immediately raises the question about Kendell Hunter's value against the Eagles defense and those huge running lanes they leave open.

Cool, and it sounds like that may bot be good...but how bout something more definite then "sounds like'

 

[aardball44]

John Clayton @ ESPN reported just now that Gore will play, albeit with a heavy rotation at RB.

 

[BUTTER]

Sal says Harbaugh said Gore starts

 

[Native]

Sal P. just spoke with Harbaugh who confirmed Gore will start.

Over the years of playing fantasy, I've noticed that few people are more consistently wrong than Czarnecki when it comes to early Sunday injury news.

 

[DeaLerZ]

sounds like a mess....

He really is horrendous. I'm not sure which is worse - the fact he is still allowed to make these types of predictions even though he's rarely right or the fact RotoWorld continues to post his info for player updates. Probably both.

PFT is reporting that Gore will start

[coachbobbyfinstock]

NFL Network's Albert Breer and ESPN's Sal Paolantonio both report that Frank Gore (ankle, questionable) will start Sunday against the Eagles.

Earlier this morning, FOX Sports' John Czarnecki wrote that Gore would be inactive. We feel much more comfortable trusting the two well-connected reporters on this one. Though Gore is likely to suit up and start, there's a big question mark surrounding his ability to be effective. Rookie Kendall Hunter figures to have an increased role as Gore's backup, and may even get more touches.

 

[McBokonon]

Yeah, Fantasy Football Now also confirmed he's playing.

@AlbertBreer

Kendall Hunter will start at tailback for San Francisco. Frank Gore will play.

 

[identikit]

per Albert Breer of NFLN:

Kendall Hunter will start at tailback for San Francisco. Frank Gore will play.

 

[Macdaddy_2004]

oh oh

From the twitter-verse

Kendall Hunter will start at tailback for San Francisco. Frank Gore will play.

Sal Pal just verbally confirmed espn2

 

[Soaring Eagle]

Sal Pal just verbally confirmed espn2

confirmed gore is starting or gore is playing?

 

[dal_boys_phan]

 

[kylechoffman]

Confirmed hunter is starting, not gore. Gore is playing.

edit- sorry i should have quoted that i was responding to sal page confirmed what..

 

[Yenrub]

NFL Network just said that Gore is playing but NOT starting

 

[Koya]

Odd that Hunter is starting but Gore is expected to play. You'd think Gore as the vet would at least get the first snap so long as he was going to get any at all. Not sure what this means (other than stay away from both this week?). Id think if you are desperate, Hunter would be the play with more upside and less zero potential.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

NFL Network just said that Gore is playing but NOT starting

Maybe this means Gore is an emergency RB? Why wouldnt he start if he could go? hmmmm

 

[steelwind]

FBG still has Gore ranked higher than Hunter. So they still think Gore is the play.

fbg is not instantly responsive on new and surprising developments.

Wait wait FBG just changed it. Hunter is now ranked higher.

Awesome Info from Sigmund Bloom

@MaioccoCSN After Jim Harbaugh watched warmups, he decided to go with RB Kendall Hunter as starter over Frank Gore.

 

[Billy1x]

ESPN Gore will back up starting RB Kendall Hunter. All three RBs active.

 

[BoomBoom]

Got both Gore and Hunter - think Hunter is the easy call as the healthier option coupled with the announcement that he's starting. If the game follows a script where the Eagles get up early, you have to believe Gore will be resting that foot and Hunter/Dixon will see all the work.

Hoping for Hunter to get 50 rush/30 rec and chance for a TD.

You are right. Great post. great job Sigmund!

 

[BoltzNBrew]

This sux, gotta bench Gore today. Rolling with CJ and Woodhead I guess. :X

This means Gore will come in and bust off a 80 yard TD run.

 

[scott72]

This situation is too dicey to bench your other players for Hunter. I don't think they'll run that well against the Eagles anyway. Just my thoughts..

The "Czar" is notorious for just basically guessing first thing in the morning so that he's first. I usually go with the opposite of what he says as he's wrong so much.

I feel better rolling Hunter out there them Greene this week, I want no part of that Baltimore D against a mediocre Running game.

 

[two_dollars]

Both of them to the bench.. ugh..

 

[Bonka]

Well, rolling Hunter out over Gore, Lynch, McGahee and crossing my fingers.

 

[stbugs]

Not too dicey when you already lost Charles and your other best option is Jacobs. At 1-2, I will roll the dice and hope he starts well and thus they lest Gore rest. Plus, he should get some receptions as the fall behind. I am assuming the Eagles will get ahead and that SF will tend toward resting Gore and not getting him hurt.

He's basically a desperation option. I thought about playing Hunter over Harvin, but I just can't.

 

[cvnpoka]

since cadillac can put up 91 yards on 19 carries and philly is avging like 135 against them on the ground, theres no way its a desperation play
