IND RB Frank Gore - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Frank Gore is 34 and still the Colts' starting running back. He has finished as a top-15 PPR RB in each of the past two seasons. Volume is king at the RB position, and at his age, drafters are once again overlooking him. He also has not missed a game since 2010!

Fantasy Downside

Gore's efficiency continues to regress. Gore has now had back-to-back seasons below four yards per carry. Therefore, the volume will have to continue in order to sustain his fantasy success. There are reports out of Indianapolis that Robert Turbin will eat into his 2017 workload. The team also drafted the dynamic Marlon Mack in the fourth round. Gore's ADP is still reasonable in the seventh round, but just know his ceiling continues to get lower with each passing year.

2017 Bottom Line

Gore is one of the cheaper starting running backs you can draft in the seventh round, and his 10 weeks as a top-10 PPR RB was 12th among RBs. There are significant concerns about his volume taking a hit this season; however, his durability and consistency are pluses. With that said, we do have a couple other RBs we'd prefer in our rankings around Gore's ADP.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Jacksonville
Frank Gore is the first player in NFL history with 11 consecutive 1,200-yards from scrimmage seasons. In Week 17, he faces the Jaguars on the road in what could be the final game of his career. The Colts have all said they are playing to win in Week 17 (even if it is a meaningless game, as they are already eliminated from playoff contention). Gore was angry he did not rush for 1,000 yards last season, and he is 36 yards shy going into this week. His 95 total yards and a touchdown last game against Jacksonville makes him a solid Week 17 option as an RB2.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Oakland
Gore is as steady of an RB2 as they come, with 78+ total yards and a touchdown in all but one game this season. Coming off his 2nd 100 rushing yard performance of the year at Minnesota, another high-volume game is on tap against the Raiders. Robert Turbin may be getting some RZ work, but you can't argue with Gore's touches (30 more last week). Oakland has also allowed six TDs to RBs in the past five weeks. Consider Gore a low-to-mid RB2 in Week 16.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Minnesota
As usual, Gore is a low-end RB2 in Week 15 as the Colts play at Minnesota, a team that is top-10 in fantasy points allowed to running backs. If you're hoping for a touchdown this week to stabilize Gore's floor, it's going to be tough. The Vikings have only allowed four touchdowns to opposing running backs all season, and the last two were to Zeke and David Johnson. Gore's volume should stabilize his floor somewhat, however, it's hard to see a high ceiling in this matchup.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Houston
Frank Gore snapped the Colts 50+ game drought without a 100-yard rusher against the Texans in Week 6. 108 total yards on 23 touches keeps Gore in line to be a RB2 in Week 14. Gore also continues to be the Colts' workhorse with 20+ touches in five of his last seven games. That type of workload has been hard to find in 2016 among RBs.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New York Jets
Even in a game the Colts trailed most of the way last week, Gore still amassed 16 touches against the Steelers. That's the good news. The bad news is he only gained 31 total yards. It's clear Gore doesn't function well without Andrew Luck after last week and nine games a season ago. Luck is back this week, but Gore faces a tough Jets rush defense that ranks top-5 in both rushing yards per game allowed and yards per carry allowed.

Consider Gore a low-end RB2 this week against the Jets on Monday Night Football.

IND RB Frank Gore - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Pittsburgh
With Andrew Luck likely out, the expectation is the Colts go run-heavy Thanksgiving against the Steelers. That puts Gore into low RB1 / high RB2 territory when you combine his expected volume and match-up against a bottom five run defense in the Steelers.

Gore had 94 total yards and a touchdown in a game last season against the Steelers without Andrew Luck.
