FACE OFF - RB Frank GoreRB Frank Gore had what many consider and an "off" season last year, and yet still managed to carry the ball 260 times for 1,102 yards and 5 TDs. He also added 53 receptions for 436 yards and another TD. Solid numbers, but down from his NFC-leading numbers of 1,695 rushing yards in 2006. His Pro Bowl earning stats from that year included 61 catches for 485 yards and a total of 9 TDs.
Although Gore is stuck on a shaky 49ers offense with a whole new offensive coordinator and unresolved questions at QB, he is expected to remain the centerpiece of the San Francisco attack, and will likely be selected as one of the top 5 RBs off the board on many, if not all, fantasy drafts this year.
Is he worth it?
