Scouting report

MIA RB Frank Gore - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Tennessee Titans

With the Patriots ranked only 30th in aFPA to RBs and an above-average total of 48.5 points, there are reasons to like Kenyan Drake in Week 4. It also doesn't hurt that he put up 193 total yards the last time he faced New England. Kenyan Drake may have only had seven touches last week but he maintained a high snap count, leaving little room for Frank Gore to produce for fantasy. Not involved in the passing game means Gore doesn't have enough of a role to be a fantasy asset.

MIA RB Frank Gore - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Miami Dolphins

Miami has a respectable 24-point implied team total in this game. Frank Gore faces a Raiders defense ranked 23rd in PPR points allowed to RBs this season. With Gore adding little in the passing game, though, and playing second fiddle to Kenyan Drake, he's not a fantasy starting option in Week 3.

MIA RB Frank Gore - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at New York Jets

Frank Gore is going to stop Kenyan Drake from being the bell cow he was at the end of last season. That's just how it's going to be. Nine touches for Gore meant Drake (17 touches) didn't approach the 20+ touch mark owners were used to down the stretch last season. The Jets were just 20th in aFPA last year to RBs, but the Dolphins have a low implied team total this week of just 20.25 points. The Jets also held Lions RBs to 2.6 yards per carry in Week 1. Consider Gore nothing more than a pain in the sides of those with Kenyan Drake on their teams.

MIA RB Frank Gore - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tennessee Titans

The Dolphins have a bottom half of the league implied team total in Vegas this week of just 21.75 points. Adam Gase apparently finds it cute to put the starting running back on his depth chart as Kenyan Drake or Frank Gore. Make no mistake, Gore will get touches in this backfield, but Drake should maintain enough of his elite volume from the end of last season. We have Gore projected for 7-9 touches, which is not enough to warrant starting lineup consideration.

MIA RB Frank Gore - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

The ageless wonder, Frank Gore is now 35 years old, and returns to his hometown to likely close out his career. He has now played seven consecutive seasons without missing a game. Just amazing. He showed he could still handle 290 touches last season and is still one of the elite pass protectors among RBs, something that could be critical for the Dolphins with a below-average offensive line. That could lead to more snaps than expected on a team that could be playing from behind often.

Fantasy Downside

At his age and with how well Kenyan Drake played last year, Gore could be in Miami to function solely as a back-up to spell Drake from time to time. If Drake gets feature-role status, like he did from Week 12 on last year (20+ touches over that span), Gore will likely be irrelevant in fantasy football.

2018 Bottom Line

Gore has an ADP in the 14th round, and there are other RBs with a clearer path to touches in that range of drafts with far more upside than Gore. Gore has three straight years of less than four yards per carry and is again behind a bad offensive line. There's not much upside here.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Houston Texans

Remember when these two teams were slugging it out for the AFC South crown in recent years? Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The Colts are actually a 5.5-point favorite in this game with a respectable implied team total in Vegas of more than 22 points. Those are two factors in Frank Gore's favor. Houston is also just 27th in aFPA to RBs. He saw 20 touches in his last matchup against this team. Start Gore as a RB2/FLEX in Week 17. If this is his last game, this machine of a man will want to go out with a bang.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Baltimore Ravens

The Colts have the lowest implied team total in Vegas for Week 16 in this Saturday game against the Ravens on the road at 13.5 points. It's more than two full points lower than the next worst team. Plus, the Colts have averaged a brutal 12.6 points per game during their five-game losing streak. If there's anybody on this offense worth playing, it might be Frank Gore based on volume. He's averaging 11.7 PPR points over his last four games and the Ravens are outside the top 20 in aFPA versus RBs. A case can be made for Gore to be a Week 16 FLEX, but the upside is hard to find.
