Description: 49ers halfback Frank Gore was fined $10,500 by the NFL for wearing his socks too low in last week's NFC Championship game. | Insight: ESPN's Adam Schefter says Gore received a warning from the league earlier in the season before finally getting hit with the fine on Wednesday. Obviously this won't affect his fantasy value but it's still worth noting that Gore received a harsher penalty than Tom Brady, who essentially kicked Ed Reed during Sunday's AFC Championship (Brady was fined only $10,000). | | |

Description: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore could be in for more of the workload with last Sunday's injury to Kendall Hunter. | Insight: Gore is averaging 16 rushing attempts per game, down slightly from last season (17.6), but could see an increase over the next few games. The 49ers haven't said who will be his primary backup. The choices are LaMichael James, Anthony Dixon and Brandon Jacobs. | | |

Description: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore (ribs) is probable for Monday night against the Cardinals | Insight: Gore came out late in San Francisco's victory over Seattle last Thursday due to a rib injury. According to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, Gore said he's feeling better. "It's lessened a lot," Gore said. "A lot. I'm sleeping good." You can safely start him in Week 8 even though the 49ers are playing Monday. | | |

Description: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore (ribs) said he "did everything" in practice Monday and thinks he'll be fine for next Monday's game, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee. | Insight: Gore came out late in San Francisco's victory over Seattle last Thursday due to a rib injury. With 11 days in between games, he should be fine for Week 8. | | |
| 10/19/2012 12:58:00 PM |
Description: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore went for x-rays after Thursday's game and was diagnosed with bruised, but not broken ribs. | Insight: With 10 days until his next start, Monday night at Arizona, he should be good to go. On Thursday, Gore posted his highest rushing total of the season - 136 yards. | | |
| 10/7/2012 7:26:00 PM |
Description: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore notched his second 100-yard rushing game of the season Sunday against the Bills. | Insight: Gore has carried the ball less than 20 times in four of five games this season but that hasn't stopped him from being a valuable fantasy running back. Through five games, Gore has 432 yards and four touchdowns on 80 carries (5.4 ypc). | | |
| 9/10/2012 1:57:00 PM |
Description: San Francisco running back Frank Gore rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries Sunday against the Packers. | Insight: Gore's role is going to be reduced this season, especially when Brandon Jacobs returns from a knee injury, but that might not matter if the 49ers offensive line blocks as well as it did yesterday. Gore's long was only 23 yards, but he had nine carries of five-plus yards and four of 10-plus. Kendall Hunter chipped in 41 yards on nine carries. | | |
| 9/7/2012 4:14:00 PM |
Description: San Francisco running back Frank Gore would gain fantasy value if Brandon Jacobs (knee) can't go on Sunday and Jacobs missed Wednesday and Friday's practice after doing some jogging on Thursday. | Insight: Gore was fifth in the NFL in carries last year with 282 and rushed for 1,211 yards. While that number should be lower this season, as long as Jacobs is out of the lineup he'll be the goal line back. | | |
| 5/2/2012 8:58:00 PM |
Description: Matt Maiocco of Comcast Sports Bay Area has speculated that the additions of Brandon Jacobs and LaMichael James will probably mean fewer carries for Frank Gore in 2012. | Insight: Gore was fifth in the NFL in carries last year with 282. That number should be much lower next season and unfortunately so will his rushing yards. | | |
| 3/28/2012 11:55:00 AM |
Description: The rumored addition of Brandon Jacobs can't make Gore fantasy owners happy. | Insight: Gore saw 159 carries through the first eight games and just 123 rushes down the stretch when he was nicked up most of the time. We understand management bringing Jacobs in to help the team and lessen the load on Gore, but it will definitely lower Gore's fantasy value in 2012. | | |
| 1/18/2012 10:20:00 AM |
Description: San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is probable for the NFC Championship on Sunday against Atlanta with his usual knee issues. | Insight: There is no way Gore misses the Falcons game and his listing on the report is normal for the 49ers starting tailback. He rushed 23 times for 119 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 48 yards in the 49ers' Divisional Round playoff with over Green Bay, but few noticed because of Colin Kaepernick's record-setting performance. | | |

Description: Frank Gore (ankle, knee) did not participate in 49ers practice Wednesday.
Source: Matt Barrows via Twitter | Insight: We don't see Gore getting in much practice time this week to help rest his ankle. His status will be questionable at best, and coach Harbaugh even hinted that his workload will be limited. This has deja vu written all over it, as this was the case earlier on the season and Gore had one of his best games of the season. | | |
| 11/9/2011 8:26:00 PM |
Description: CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco observed Frank Gore "favoring" his left ankle at the outset of 49ers practice Wednesday.
Source: CSN Bay Area | Insight: Looks like the ankle injury is a bit more serious than what has been led on. He was favoring it during specific drills in practice, and while it may not keep him out week 10, it's certainly an injury worth looking out for the rest of the week. | | |
| 11/7/2011 3:45:00 PM |
Description: Frank Gore sustained a left ankle sprain in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Redskins and was spotted walking gingerly following the game.
Source: CSN Bay Area | Insight: Beat writer Matt Maiocco expressed concern about the injury and noticed he needed help down from the riser. Gore was able to finish the game, so we'll have to keep an eye on his practice status throughout the week. Kendall Hunter dislocated his finger, but is fine and will draw the start if Gore can't go. Consider Gore day to day. | | |
| 10/9/2011 10:45:00 AM |
Description: Beat writer Matt Maiocco believes that RB Frank Gore will play two-thirds of the team's snaps with rookie RB Kendall Hunter getting the rest.
Source: CSN Bay Area | Insight: Gore will get the start against the Bucs, whose defense ranks 22nd and are allowing 4.4 YPC this season. Gore is a rock solid RB2 with RB1 upside. | | |
| 10/2/2011 9:44:00 AM |
Description: According to ESPN and updating a previous item, Kendall Hunter will draw the start in week 4 against the Eagles but Frank Gore is active.
| Insight: Look for Kendall Hunter to be heavily involved in the offensive gameplan. Gore, even with the match-up, is a low-end RB2 because of possibility of his touches eaten into. | | |
| 10/2/2011 3:58:00 AM |
Description: It appears Niners RB Frank Gore will still be active in Week 4 vs. Philly, but in a more limited role than he's had in the first three games. | Insight: Kendall Hunter owners need to consider inserting him into their lineup as a flex player. Gore owners need to park his butt on the bench till further notice. | | |
| 9/29/2011 2:37:00 PM |
Description: Frank Gore (ankle) is still not confident that he will be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Source: CSN Bay Area | Insight: He didn't have a decisive answer when asked if he could go. The 9'ers are anticipating a limited role in week 4 with Kendall Hunter taking on most of the workload, as that's how it's looking right now. Even with a great match-up, Gore is a risky fantasy play in week 4. | | |
| 2/17/2011 10:20:00 AM |
Description: 49ers RB Frank Gore is expected to be fully medically cleared on February 28 after rehabbing from a hip fracture.
SOURCE: CSN BAY AREA | Insight: Gore's running style will always make him susceptible to injuries and he could only have around 2-3 good years left as he approaches his 28th birthday in May. Still, Jim Harbaugh's offense will ensure Gore continues to be a top-10 fantasy option in 2011. | | |
| 2/16/2011 12:51:00 PM |
Description: According to 49ers HC Jim Harbaugh, RB Frank Gore won't be "coming off the field too much" in 2011.
SOURCE: CSN BAY AREA | Insight: Harbaugh says he thinks "Frank Gore is one of the best in the league and one of the most complete backs." Injuries are always an issue, but Gore is the last of the dying breed of players who aren't in a committee. He will be a first-round fantasy option. | | |
