Frank Gore (1 Viewer)

[Isotopes]

Frank Gore was my second round pick, and when he hit his hot streak early in the season, he made my team just about unbeatable. Now that I snuk into the playoffs, I am having a hard time putting this guy in the lineup. He hasn't scored a touchdown since week 8 and hasn't broken 100 yards since week 9. He also isn't catching passes out of the backfield, and has been very pedestrian the last 4 weeks.

Gore owners, do you trust him this week to bounce back? I think if you have other options, you need to give consideration to sitting him. Seems like a risky move, but I can't afford another 73 yard performance out of this guy. Thoughts on benching Gore this weekend?

 

[jbz]

I was considering it since it seems like the 49ers stall once they hit the red zone. They also don't get too creative in using Gore. They just hand him the ball, which is a smart thing to do...but they don't use him in the passing game much and his run plays are pretty vanilla. Once the D gets packed in near the goal line, these runs don't seem to be working as much. Throw in the fact that the 49ers hold him on the bench if the game is in hand and I can see why owners would bench him. I'm using him since the matchup looks decent and I got no other choice.

I lost my last 2 games because I started Gore instead of McGahee. I am so tempted to bench him this week and start either Spiller or McGahee, not sure if I'll have the nerve but I feel like I should.

really want to bench this bum for BEANIE

Is the matchup decent?

I don't think Wells vs. the #1 rush defense is a viable alternative to "the bum".

 

[BoomBoom]

Cards just shut down Murray pretty well and Gore has been fairly quiet - to the point he needs to find the endzone to have a good fantasy day.

I have Gore, Spiller, and McGahee and am leaning Spiller/McGahee.

 

[Isotopes]

Spiller is who I am trying to get in my lineup also, and am thinking of sitting Gore to do so.

 

[glumpy]

Lotta love for Spiller in here. Glad to see it--I was actually going to sit him for Harvin until the finger injury yesterday.

FWIW Dallas was without their FB that game. The last three games without him they were avg 3.3 ypc, with him they were avg 6... according to Sal Pal on ESPN radio

 

[scrumptrulescent]

Not sure what to make of Arizona lately. Shut down the Dallas running game. Hold Gore and S Jax in check the 2 previous weeks. McCoy from Philly had a good day against them. SJax mauled them the week before that. Ray Rice ran for only 3.5 ypc, even though he got in on 3 goal line TD's.

It's a tough call because Arizona has been playing pretty good football since their week 6 bye, other than the last time they faced San Fran of course.

I don't feel very good about this one.

 

[RamMan]

Frank is currently penciled into my lineup (along with Lynch) with Beanie, Stewart, Kevin Smith, and Ingram on the bench. If Beanie was playing anyone other than the 49ers D I'd probably sit Gore for Beanie. But, as it is, I just can't see sitting Gore over the other otpions I have. The game should be close and the 49ers need to keep their foot on the gas to insure a playoff bye and home game.

I see a good chance for 75/1 from Gore - which probably beats the other bums on my bench.

 

[Sabertooth]

Gore is all done. I believe he hit the dreaded wall. He won't top 600 yards next year.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

he's a bum for playing through a knee injury for a team that is so good they usually rest him a bunch in the second half when they are up 20+.

you guys kill me.

That said, I think the cards will move the ball as they did last week vs the boys. Kolb looked good and should be able to keep it close enough w/bonzai wells to keep gore in the game plan at least until the 3rd quarter.

I still might play spiller over him because he should accrue a ####-ton of garbage yards

wouldn't be the first time you shortsightedly gave up on someone.You (and many in the media) have such short memories. As if the last three weeks are somehow a template for the rest of someones career, especially someone with a knee injury who is playing through it. He could easily get two scores this week as the 49ers should be moving the ball all day and getting good field position from the inevitable kolb turnover or two at an inopportune time.

Yeah, how's Adrian doing for teams right now? On pace for his worst season as a pro, no? Gore is old, has had a million surgeries on his legs. He had his last gasp. You'll see him moved aside for Hunter next season. He may score some points this week. But Ladainian Tomlinson will too, doesn't mean he hasn't hit the wall. He'll never be a top 10 back again, and neither will Gore. Adrian will. But his value will never again be as high as it was this past offseason.

 

[Grahamburn]

It's been tough sledding as of late, but people were giving up on Frank Gore after week 3 also.

The beginning of the end of Gore?

He went on to top 100 yards rushing 5 games in a row and scored in 4 of them.

Saying he's "done" is premature, in my opinion.

 

[Sabertooth]

I guess he's a half empyty/half full type of guy. Outside of those five games he's done nothing. I'm not interested in drafting him next season.

 

[jim k]

Divisional matchup I believe helps Gore here - SF should give him 20 touches imo.

That makes him a must START.

 

[cvnpoka]

I think it's a matter of saving him for the playoff stretch. The 49er's know his health history better than anyone and my belief is that it's going to be pretty crappy for FF football owners till the 49er's need a win to benifit them in some way.Does this game mean anything to the 49er's????

game logs sure dont indicate they are saving him. hes had 25, 15 and 21 touches the last 3 games. the other game he left injured after 6. problem is that hes not getting in the end zone.

 

[Sabertooth]

He had 20 carries last weekend against a pitiful defense and mustered about 70 yards with it. I don't think it has anything to do with the team "saving" him.

 

[ScottyDog]

Yes, it means a lot. SF has the division wrapped up but they are still fighting off New Orleans for the #2 seed and a first round bye. Currently they have a 1 game lead over New Orleans. There is a lot of meaningful football left for SF and Frank Gore imo.

right around the time he injured his knee. that's a large part of why he's 'done nothing'. Just because someone doesn't put up 25/wk for a couple weeks doesn't mean they 'hit the wall' and will be surely useless next year. A lot of variables go into both good and bad seasons. Writing him off at this point is a mistake, especially for someone who as put up for 100 yard games in 5 weeks 2 months ago.

you were. He was doing great for a bit (when you picked him back up again and started him). Then he too got injured. It's not always based on innate talent and skill. Injuries happen. Doesn't mean any player who gets injured 'sucks' or 'has obviously hit the wall.'

Wait, are you saying it was short sited to give up on Manningham? I think it's pretty good forward thinking. I wish I had given up on him back then.

 

[kutta]

The AZ D has been playing well lately, ever since they got smart and started their youngsters at linebacker. It is a home game, and the D plays better at home. I'm not saying you should sit Gore, but the AZ D is stronger than most people think against the run, so take that into consideration.

I am saying that when you say to drop a guy b/c he sucks then pick him back up again until he injures his knee and then drop him again, it doesn't make your first statement 'right'. Just coincidental. We all wish we'd trade players one week before they go out for the year. It doesn't mean that they sucked, it means they got injured.In context, I think attributing Gore's performance over the last few weeks as indicative that his career as a stud rb1 etc is over, instead of injured. The guy who posted 'is gore done in thread' week 3, isn't right because his numbers have been average the last few weeks.

But that's the thing about "the wall." It happens suddenly. And it isn't like he isn't getting the workload, he's just not doing anything with his 20+ carries per game. He's had a ton of injuries. I'd rather be too early on a player like Gore than too late (in a dynasty format). Kendall Hunter is a real threat to steal carries. He's a good player and he hasn't even had an NFL offseason yet. If he can learn to pass block (a common hurdle to gaining more playing time) he is going to make Frank Gore a fond memory soon.

What do you think hitting the wall is? One thing you must know (not sure of your age) is that you simply don't heal as quickly as you age. Injuries have accumulated on Gore. I think he's already past his prime and predict he won't top 600 yards next season. Part of that is his age and as an extension of that, his inability to bounce back from injury. Time is not on Gore's side here. He was injured before he ever played in the NFL. He's been injured while in the NFL. He's supposedly still injured now. How many injuries can he overcome with increasing age before Kendall can pass him?

72 yards against a crappy D. Not too good. In a close game, he has two more carries than Hunter.

Lol. you say gore will be pushed to the side by Hunter. The same guy who went 8 for 20 against the same 'crappy D'This split is more likely a by-product of Gore's being injured, like I said many times over.

72 and a td? That's a good start in most books. Don't hate on him because it only took him 10 carries to get there. That's 7.2 a carry.

Keep hoping. Most likely, he's going to get worse.

 

[Grahamburn]

I won't argue against a decline in production, but I don't think it's because Gore is done. That's way off base. He only had 10 carries. He managed 72 yards on those and had a nice TD run.

My assumption is the 49ers are saving his legs for the postseason, which is a smart move. Why wear out your workhorse when you have a playoff spot in the bag? When SF was feeding Gore during that nice stretch his production was fine.

That being said, I'm likely not starting him next week against Pittsburgh.

He is getting older. Injuries are mounting. He has a young stud waiting in the wings. He had a season ender season. He hasn't scored more then 20 fantasy points in two months. I think the evidence is pretty clear. Could it be all coincidental? Sure it could. But we know a few things here.

[*]He isn't putting up fantasy points despite facing mostly mediocre defenses.

[*]He is 28 years old which is getting long in the tooth for running backs.

[*]He's had more than his share of injuries since his time in college.

[*]By all accounts, he has a strong backup.

[*]Everybody hits the wall at some point.

That sounds like a lot of negatives. In dynasty I'd stay away. In a redraft situation, I'm not even thrilled. He's got Pittsburgh coming up (yay!). And then they go to Seattle, at team he mustered 59 yards on 20 carries against at home earlier this season. No thanks.

 

[Grahamburn]

All true points.

Before this 10 carry, 72 yard, and TD performance you said he was "done." He looked like Frank Gore to me.

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by done?

Well, I didn't mean he was dead. Simply that he isn't going to be a top player any more.

Sitting him next week. Thanks for the decent year Frankie!

Same here. Likely going with Antonio Brown over him unless Ben sits. Pretty good season from Fank Gore overall. I think he's 4th in the league in rushing. Not bad for a guy so many people get down on constantly.

No sign of 49ers Frank Gore on injury report yet again, despite Harbaugh noting Monday that Gore is not 100 percent. Ankle? Knee? Shoulder?

Is anyone starting Frank?

No. Going with McGahee, Kevin Smith, and SMoss in my flex over Gore. 49ers could really use the win to try and get the #2 seed, but can't see Gore getting more than 60-70 yards and with such little use in the passing game, it's hard to see him having a good game here. The 49ers have struggled mightily inside the red zone and can't see it getting an easier against the Steelers.
