Week 11 Outlook
Availability
According to Field Yates, Frank Gore is signing a one-day contract with the 49ers and will retire from the NFL.
Fantasy Impact
After garnering no interest from NFL teams in 2021, the 38-year-old will ink a one-day contract with the 49ers and retire from the NFL. Gore posted over 16,000 rushing yards in his career, third-most in NFL history. He will certainly be heading to Canton after awaiting his five-year mandatory period before being eligible for the hall.
Frank Gore is open to playing football in 2021 "in the right circumstance," according to Adam Schefter. It would be his 17th season in the league.
Fantasy Impact
Gore is 37-years-young and just entered the 16,000 yard club, joining Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton, in 2020. He's had a remarkably durable and consistent career, only missing three games over his 16 years in the NFL. He logged 653 yards on 187 totes for an average of 3.5 YPC with the Jets this last season. We'll see what the "right circumstance" ends up looking like for Gore but it wouldn't be surprising if ended up retiring either.
Jets RB Frank Gore will not play in Sunday’s Week 17 contest against the Patriots due to a lung contusion.
Fantasy Impact
Gore exited Week 16’s win over the Browns early and was diagnosed with a lung contusion. He became the third player in NFL history to run for 16,000 yards in his career. The 37-year-old RB logged 187 carries for 653 yards in two touchdowns across 15 games in 2020. Gore has only missed three contests in his career and will be a free agent after this season. La’Mical Perine is expected to see additional touches on Sunday while Gore is sidelined.
Frank Gore rushed 14 times for 48 yards in the Jets' Week 16 win over the Browns, adding one catch for a gain of five.
Fantasy Impact
Gore once again out-carried rookie La'Mical Perine. Coach Adam Gase said earlier this year that he wasn't going to turn away from Gore and he has stayed true to his word. Gore will remain off the fantasy radar in Week 17 against the Patriots.
Frank Gore rushed 23 times for 59 yards and a score in the Jets' stunning Week 15 victory over the Rams, adding one reception for a gain of six.
Fantasy Impact
It wasn't an efficient day for Gore, but he still wound up being usable for fantasy purposes thanks to his second rushing score of the season. The Jets clearly aren't going away from the 37-year-old over their last two games, which keeps him in the low-end RB3/4 conversation for deeper league formats. The Browns are a tough Week 16 matchup.
