Scouting report

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Robert Turbin is out for the season, which should raise Gore's floor moving forward. Gore was already averaging more than 15 touches per game before Turbin's injury, and against Jacksonville, the Colts will have to run the ball because of the Jags' elite secondary. Gore is a high-floor, low-ceiling FLEX option this week, as he'll still share touches with rookie Marlon Mack.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tennessee Titans

Frank Gore is still the main man in the Colts backfield, averaging 16 touches per game. He faces a Titans defense ranked in the bottom half of the league in our aFPA vs. RB rankings. Rookie Marlon Mack flashed for 90+ yards on 9 carries last week, but stubborn Chuck Pagano said this week Mack is not ready for a featured or third-down back role (crazy, I know). That preserves Gore's value as FLEX option for another week.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Quietly, Gore has three straight double-digit PPR weeks, once again putting him on FLEX radars for Week 5. As 4for4 Senior Editor John Paulsen likes to say, #oldteamtheorum is in play as well, as Gore takes on his old team, the 49ers. Real evidence, however, shows a player that's been on the field for around 60% of snaps in back-to-back weeks after not cracking 50% snaps the first two weeks. Consider Gore an RB2 in a plus matchup this week.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Seattle Seahawks

Gore faces a Seattle team that has been torched by RBs in back-to-back weeks (Tennessee and San Francisco) and is allowing 146 rushing yards per game (third-worst in the NFL). That's the good news. The bad news is Frank Gore is averaging only 7.13 fantasy points in his last four games against the Seahawks, and that was when he played on a good 49ers team. Now on the Colts, with a worse O-line, in a game Indianapolis is a two-touchdown underdog? Gore doesn't even feel like an RB3 this week in 12-team leagues.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Cleveland Browns

Frank Gore found the end zone last week and faces the 30th-ranked defense in our aFPA vs. PPR RBs this week. However, his volume is down (12.5 touches per game through Week 2). This again feels like a touchdown-or-bust week for Gore in a game the Colts actually opened as home underdogs in against the Browns. He also only has 3 targets through two weeks, lowering his floor, as does his 3.67 yards-per-carry average. Gore is a low-level FLEX option, at best, in Week 3.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Frank Gore opened the season in a committee situation, with rookie Marlon Mack getting the red zone work. That's not a viable fantasy situation. Gore had just 10 rushes and 1 reception in Week 1, and now faces a top-10 defense in our aFPA vs. RBs. He's not a viable RB2 in Week 2.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Los Angeles Rams

Without Andrew Luck last season, the Colts gave their backfield 26 touches against Pittsburgh. Frank Gore saw 16 of those. The Rams are a tough test, though, as they are ranked fifth in our aFPA vs. PPR RBs. View Gore as a borderline low-end RB2 for Week 1, considering the Colts have also hinted at Robert Turbin getting more touches in 2017.
