49ers RB Frank Gore did not suffer a serious injury like he did in 2010 when he broke his hip. But his heavy workload at the beginning of the season left him with an array of nagging, smaller injuries by midseason that, according to a source with knowledge of Gore's condition, kept him from shouldering the same load he did at the beginning of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Gore will be 29 years old heading into next season with youngsters Kendall Hunter and Anthony Dixon nipping at his heels for playing time.
