Frank Gore Week 8 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Mon, Oct 21st 2019, 6:10pm EDT

Gore managed to out-touch Singletary 12 to 8, but it didn't amount to much for either of them. Oddly enough, it was the lowest volume and production Gore had since Week 1. Let's write that up as a trap game coming off the bye, shall we? The Eagles aren't nearly as good of a matchup, as the 3.32 yards per carry they've allowed ranks as the second-lowest number in football. Prior to Ezekiel Elliott smashing them for 111 yards and a touchdown on Sunday night football, they'd yet to allow a running back more than 63 yards on the ground. He was also the first starting running back who was able to average more than 2.87 yards per carry against them, which included a sample size of Aaron Jones, Le'Veon Bell, Dalvin Cook, Kerryon Johnson, and Devonta Freeman. It doesn't help that they were down to just two linebackers last week, something that could be a problem moving forward. Singletary getting 35-40 percent of the touches is going to be problematic for Gore's fantasy floor, because we'll see those 10-12-touch games that are brutal when he's not involved in the passing game. Gore should be considered a low-floor and low-ceiling RB4-type option in this game.
