Week 4 vs. Denver
Frank Gore has picked up considerable workload since Le'Veon Bell went down. He has had 36 carries for 120 yards the last two games. He isn't involved in the passing game, but he has become the primary back for a very bad Jets offense, for now.
Gore has a tough matchup on Thursday against a Denver defense that is ranked sixth in aFPA to running backs. The Broncos are banged up but the defense has still been good against the run.
The Jets offense is a mess, but Gore still somehow manages to have some success, even at the age of 37. He does have value in standard leagues because of the volume. Start him as a low-end RB3 or Flex for Week 4. However, avoid him in PPR leagues.
Week 3 at Indianapolis
Frank Gore carried the ball 21 times for 63 yards as he fills in for LeVeon Bell. The veteran still can be the workhorse and although his role is only temporary, he gave some decent value to those who picked him up last week. With all the injuries at running back, Gore can be a factor in 2020.
This week's opponent Indianapolis is ranked eighth in aFPA to running backs. So, it is a tough matchup for Gore and since the Jets offense has struggled, it will be hard to have much more success than he did last week and that came because of volume.
Gore is a possible start in standard leagues as a low-end RB3 or Flex. But stay away from him in PPR leagues as he is not involved in the passing game.
Week 2 vs San Francisco
With LeVeon Bell on IR, Frank Gore becomes the next man up. The veteran running back seems ageless, but even though he might be the best option, you have to think the Jets will use a running back by committee approach. Gore rushed six times for 24 yards in the opener.
The matchup is not easy as the 49ers are second in aFPA to running backs. Even if Gore gets a majority of the carries, he doesn't have much value because the Jets offense is bad. Keep Gore on the bench for Week 2 although he could be a good pickup as New York might ride him as long as they can and Gore might have some value later in the season.
Week 13 at Dallas
Frank Gore rushed the ball 15 times for 65 yards as the Bills back running back. It won't be a regular occurrence with Devin Singletary now the No. 1 back. Gore still shows he has it but the Bills have moved forward with the younger player.
The Cowboys are up next, but we don't think Gore will be a big part of the game plan. Keep Gore on the bench for Week 13.
Week 12 vs Denver
Frank Gore has been the starter most of the season, but he is definitely taking a backseat to Devin Singletary. Still, Gore got 12 touches last game and is still being used enough to keep an eye on him.
Gore will face the Broncos who are 8th in aFPA to running backs. The tough matchup pushes him to the bench for Week 12. The Bills will have a decent offensive day, but probably won't be good enough from a fantasy standpoint.
Week 11 at Miami
Frank Gore has 16 carries for only 27 yards and one reception over the last two games. Devin Singletary has taken over as the No. 1 back, but Gore still is involved in the offense.
The Bills have a great matchup against Miami who is last in the NFL in aFPA to running backs. Gore had 11 carries for 55 yards the first time he played the Dolphins.
The matchup definitely gives Gore some value as we expect double-digit touches. Start him as an RB3 for Week 11.
Week 10 at Cleveland
It appears rookie Devin Singletary has finally passed Frank Gore on the depth chart. However, the veteran still got 11 carries last week although it only produced 15 yards. Gore has been on the field for 34% of the snaps or less the last two weeks while Singletary got 23 touches last week.
Gore has a good matchup against Cleveland who is 21st in aFPA to running backs. We expect him to still see some time, but right now it appears the torch has been passed. He ranks a low-end RB3 for Week 10.
Week 9 vs Washington
Frank Gore only had nine touches last week which was a season-low. He only played on 29% of the offensive snaps. Devin Singletary actually was on the field for 68% of the snaps but had fewer touches than Gore. So, there hasn't been a passing of the torch to the rookie quite yet.
Gore still has value and will face the Redskins are 18th in aFPA to running backs. Until we see him consistently have a reduced role, he still has an edge in standard leagues. Start Gore as a high-end RB3 or flex for Week 9.
Week 8 vs Philadelphia
Frank Gore had his lowest amount of touches last week since Week 1. That's mostly because of the return of Devin Singletary from injury. Gore ended up with 66 yards from scrimmage against the Dolphins.
Gore will face the Eagles this week who are ranked sixth in aFPA to running backs. Philly has been more susceptible to the pass so the Bills might focus the game plan in that direction.
Start Gore as an RB3 for Week 8. He will get 10 to 12 touches, but don't expect much from him as Singletary and he will split the touches out of the backfield moving forward.
Week 7 vs Miami
Frank Gore has been a surprise so far this season averaging 16 touches per game. When the Bills traded LeSean McCoy, many thought Gore would be a backup, but he has carried the Buffalo running game.
Gore will face the Dolphins who are dead last in aFPA to running backs. We don't expect any more action this week, but his results should be better.
Start Gore as a low-end RB2 for Week 7. The matchup is a positive one for the Buffalo offense and Gore has shown he is still producing at the age of 36.
