News: 49ers coach Mike Singletary confirmed that RB Frank Gore has recovered from his ankle strain and will play Sunday at Houston in Week 7. The team's running game slumped without Gore and now the 49ers are only 16th-ranked in rushing and 31st overall in total offense. (CBS SPORTS)

Obviously with this news if you own Gore he is in your line up this week, unless there are any set backs the rest of the week.

HUGE game Vs Houston.

He's still listed as questionable. I'm going to wait until Sunday morning to see what the game-day insider info. is provided. Playing in a game vs. playing at nearly 100% are 2 very different scenarios. I'm always leary of starting a fantasy player who's being rushed back onto the field prematurely.

So you're saying he's being rushed back to the field prematurely?

What I'm saying is never trust what a coach tells the media about the productive state of his player on a Wednesday (or any day for that matter). Wait and see what the reporters on the field say on the pre-game shows. They usually have a more un-biased assessment on things.

Couch Tater did a study and found that players scored just as much in weeks where they were listed on the injury report as they did in weeks where they weren't listed on the injury report. Actually, iirc, they wound up scoring a few hundredths of a point higher, on average, when they were "injured".If Gore is playing, he's in my starting lineup.

I read some where (so take it for what it's worth) Gore was begging Coach Singletary to play week #5. He practiced last week and is practing again this week. I will role the dice with him and take my chances!

Baaaahhhh, that analysis is completed scewed solely by Laverneous Coles whom puts up 95% of his fantasy production over his career when he's listed as "questionable". If you want to lock in your lineup today with Gore in there, knock yourself out. I'll wait and see what the pre-gamers are seeing from him. Are the trainers retaping his ankle again? Is he favoring one leg? Does he look crisp in his pregame warmups /cuts etc? That's the most reliable way I know of. Otherwise flip a coin.

Isn't this the week that SF has always listed as most likely for Gore's return? That is my memory. The bigger concern for me will be if SF wants to force the call to Crabtree or not. Luckily they are not a trash team that has nothing to lose.

 

[FavreCo]

This ####er better not milk his injury another week. What kinda ####boy is Gore? There is no way he should be anything but good to go after 3+ weeks of laying around. I'm getting pissed off.

They are a playoff contender and since Gore has been out - they haven't really been producing offensively. I wouldn't worry too much.

What I am worried about is that Singletary will rush Gore into the lineup when he is still hurt, like he did week 3, and have him go out with a worse injury 3 plays in.

Last time I heard of Frank Gore, the word was it was him was who was begging for Singletary to let him back on the field...LAST WEEK. Singletary was the one who decided to hold him out until after the bye..I don't see how Singletary would rush him back...especially when you have Gore himself begging to get back on the field..I'm starting Frank and i'm starting him with 100% confidence!

I'd bet anything that Sam Bradford and Troy Paulamalu were begging to get back out on the field last weekend. You see how did that turn out for those guys (don't even mention that Troy had a pick. It was nothing to write home about either)?

Gore practiced in full yesterday.

Houston's opponents are averaging 4.9 ypc and have scored 10 rushing TDs this year. Do I need to say any more?

 

[p00h]

No you do not. If one hasn't already bought into Gore this week against Houston, then you will have to sit it out on the sideline, crying...

No you do not. If one hasn't already bought into Gore this week against Houston, then you will have to sit it out on the sideline, crying...

If you dig a little deeper, you will see that HOU has allowed 170 yards and 2 TD's (rush and rec) the past 3 games TOTAL to RB. In addition, the biggest problem with the rush D this year has been the big play which guys like MJD and CJ4.24 were able to exploit effectively. Can Gore in his first game back from injury provide the same explosion? Maybe/maybe not. I would temper expectations.

 

[Buckna]

Houston's Defense is very much Jekyll & Hyde. The 1st 3 games they gave up 190, 240 & 185 yards rushing.

The last 3 games Houston has held their opponents to 45, 44 and 46 yards rushing. Arizona & Oakland aren't exactly rushing powerhouses, but Cedric Benson was the nfl's leading rusher before he played the Texans. He did manage a TD though.

Edit: Pipedream beat me to it basically.

 

[Abstract]

I traded for Gore 3 weeks ago while he was injured. I ready to pull him outta the garage this week!!

From Jimmy Raye's post practice transcript today:

http://www.ninersnation.com/2009/10/22/109...ichael-crabtree

On how RB Frank Gore looks:

"Yeah, he looks great. He's got fresh legs. How long has it been since he played? A month, three weeks? I mean he's got fresh legs, so he looks bountifully good. With the time off and the bye, he probably feels a little better had he played this month, this past month at this point, so hopefully, we get a fresh guy that's mended and doesn't have the normal aches and pains that you would have as a running back after those five games in the season."

 

[drew726]

I think people are underestimating how good Gore is.

 

[harryhood]

I think people are underestimating how good Gore is.

One analysis said he "could make a good RB2 for the remainder of the season"

 

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

F.Gore meet Brian Cushin....

Meh....put me in the camp that doesnt think he will go all world. I think a modest day is in effect.

 

[two_dollars]

Starting him with a 2x factor in four Fantasy Factor money contests. I think he's top RB of the week.

 

[RobMexico]

So what's the consensus here?

How do other Gore owners take the first week back? I still hold firm he will be top 10 from here out, but I've read people saying that now that Alex Smith is at the helm, Gore's value takes a big hit. I think they played a high powered offense and fell behind way too early and it will be the apparition, not the norm.

I grabbed him with AD in my auction draft so I just need some high-end RB2 numbers, but I assume there are a lot of owners out there with him as your RB1.

 

[THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA]

Texans run def stepping it up....Have given up less than 60yrds rushing 4 weeks in a row.

 

[Fantasy Bum]

I still hold firm he will be top 10 from here out, but I've read people saying that now that Alex Smith is at the helm, Gore's value takes a big hit.

I don't buy that at all. Alex Smith has been a below average QB for all of his career thus far. He is not suddenly Joe Montana. Gore will still get his 20-25 touches as long as SF doesn't fall far behind in games.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

As a Gore owner from year's past and an owner this year in a minor league, plus someone who follows the 9ers in the Bay Area, put me in the camp that believes that Gore is a good back in a not-so-good system and a pretty lousy fantasy back for an RB1 and a decent but not great RB2. I'll draft a top WR over him every time.
